Taking price into consideration, it is quite good, really simple though, if you want a simple system of pushing a button and washing gets done, its ideal. Does not have a detergent draw, which I find a bit strange, not the end of the world though. It is not the quietest machine, but does a good wash. Cold water wash is a bit fiddly if you prefer a cold wash, I prefer cold wash as it's less harsh on the fabrics in all machines. Again at $299NZ it is well priced and I don't think you will be disappointed if you are after a machine that does the job for a really good price
