hey rob
Nice machine, I see they have gone back to the old small hose for the jetsystem like mine

my washer is from 2001, and it is still going strong, it is going to be 7 years old next month, and not a thing has gone wrong with it since we got it, and it is still as quiet as ever.
I've started doing washing on 30'c now, because its more eco friendly and i find it does a good job and most of my clothes are lightly soiled. I find the jetsystem is very efficient at removing stains even at low temps so i find that a hot wash isn't needed anymore.
I love my machine because its so flexible, and we have a 50'c wash as well.
I have been using Tesco Colours Tablets in it for my coloured washes which i am quite impressed by the cleaning performance and they are good value £2.75 for a big box of 48 tablets.
The whites get Surf Tropical Tablets, because they smell really nice and do a good job of getting the whites clean. £2 for a box of 18 (9 washes) from Asda
and Softener i'm using Lenor Spring.
I hope you are happy with your purchase rob, and my your machine have a very long life
