Good Points
Err. It was fairly cheap for a 1200 spin machine and that's where it ends.
Bad Points
everything else.
General Comments
Bought a philips whirlpool AWMxx (can't remember the rest) along with an AWZxx (same again) dryer.
First of all the waching machine started shaking like it was about to take off. Engineer came out and found that a suspension arm wasn't attached.
Then I found out it didn't wash at all on 95 degress. Engineer came out again.
Next thing was it started leaking and stopping mid cycle.
Finally Comet came and changed it for another one.
Now, 12 months later and just out of guarantee, it stops washing correctly and doesn't spin properly. But the best bit of this is that 3 different washing machine repairers have said that this is the common problem with these machines (something to do with the timing) and that they all wouldn't touch it with a barge pole and for me to get a new one.
Aside from this the dryer starting leaking and getting as hot as my cooker and that was duly swapped as well (this one is still working luckily).
