    Definitely the FP aquasmart...I have also heard reports ofthe machine getting clothes tangled but again I think this is because a lot of people dont realise just how many diff wash and spin options it has.....if you (or they) are like most people we tend to be like set and forget type people......It takes a while to get used to actually using all the options that are available to you on the machine.

    You wont regret it BG!

    Jodi - Yep it does, It only uses 98L per load and the 8kg aquasmart uses 82 lites per load. There is only a 100ml difference in water usage per kg of washing!!

    Which model aquasmart - i notice there are 2 8kg ones, WL80T65DW1and WL80T65CW1, the only real difference i can see is one has a lot more preset timer options and the other has a sheets cycle.

    Do both have nappy cycles?

    *bump*

    OK so our f/l is finally dying, leaking all over the house etc, and as I was wanting to get a new one anyway we will probably do so in the next week or so.

    So, do you still love your FP aquasmart?
    Alioops - did you end up getting the electrolux in the end - if so what do you think?

    Nah, my old clunker is still going for now, but I would love a new machine when finances permit.

    Have to say, that I love the fact that our F&P has the error codes. Recently my machine stopped pumping, and we thought it was the pump, but I spent an hour or so, googling the error code, showed it to my DH who pulled the machine apart and fixed it! It was a switch that was a bit sticky, so DH sprayed it with something and it was all sweet...easy as..
