Simple to use, has all the settings I need and it did not cost much. Reading the reviews Simpson come out top for longevity, reliability and low repair costs. Has all I need and it's quiet.

There is no lint filter so eventually you get hair and lint all over your clothes. But you can use epsom salts or something similar and clean the machine, then it seems ok. You have to do this every few weeks though.

Definitely not whisper quiet, sounds like a jet engine taking off when on spin cycle, so a closed laundry door is essential, but as far as functionality is concerned, it does an excellent job. There are a variety of cycle options. The 15 min. cycle is great when your rushed. The wash cycle does an excellent job and clothes require very little drying time. If you can deal with the noise, the price tag is reasonable and it does the job. Final tip: leave the door open until the machine has had a chance to air out and dry off, especially if you're using the machine less often to avoid bad odours.

Bought the machine from the Good Guys (who wont be getting 5 stars for their service). 7kg front loader, I wanted cheap but reliable. of the cheaper options available - I opted for the Simpson brand as I trust it. I haven't been disappointed. Price was on point and it washes quickly, cleanly with several cycle options. Highly recommend.
