I bought this washing machine mostly because of the 5 year extended warranty and 10year warranty on the motor after our old front loader broke down 3 times in less than 5 years. I love the option that I can open the lid to add items after the program has started and that it can take a big load (10kg is a lot of clothes). It is easy to choose your own washing cycle, reduce the time, spinning and the degrees to suit your load. The only thing I don’t like is that it jumps around when spinning, even when we have levelled it and tried smaller loads etc.
