Like the idea that JL care but time will tell I have to test them for the next few years!

Don't buy this washing machine! Mine went wrong shortly after the 3 year warranty was over. I didn't think that I needed an extended warranty as there is only one adult and one 6 year old in my household so mine hasn't exactly been overused. The computer seems to have gone so that the machine mostly forgets to spin and rinse, this happens 9 times out of 10, I then have to put it on again on the 30 minute wash cycle which also occasionally forgets to rinse and spin ( 4 times out of 10) All in all avoid this like the plague.

Compared this with other machines also made by Electrolux (AEG & Zanussi) and preferred the style of this JLWM1407. Also, John Lewis will delivery to remote Scotland (worthy of consideration as local shops quoted between £60 and £80 'to get it home').Does what one wants from a washing machine whilst being acceptably quiet (very quiet during washing part of cycle and spin not too loud compared to many machines), taking a reasonable load, and having very clear functions for the operating controls. Comes with a three-year guarantee and seems quite well made. Like many newer machines, has a good-sized loading porthole that is disabled-friendly.
