Rated 4 out of 5 by Amy1 from Exactly what I was looking for Great machine, good size, big enough for my family of 5. Straightforward and easy to use although I do miss the old style turndial machines where you could manually change cycles but they don't seem to exist anymore. Not particularly noisy, washes well and leaves no lint, doesn't tangle clothes

Rated 1 out of 5 by Marita from Not very happy unfortunately. I have had my new Simpson for a couple of months now and have been disappointed with my purchase. I had a Simpson washing machi e before and couldn't fault it. My new one doesnt dissolve the washing powder and i often have to rewash items. I have even started dissolving it before i put it the machine. It also does not spin as well as my previous machine which means things take longer to dry. It also seems to spend a lot of time doing nothing! It is a very quiet machine and seems to wash ok.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Sue1 from Nothing special Takes longer and using more water than expected. We are replacing a 8 year old similar model. One really annoying thing is that when the load is completed the warning noise beeping is not very distinct. Therefore miss when a load is finally finished. Leaves a lot of lint. The lint filter has not been improved, as you would expect over time as things are reengineered. In fact it is very difficult to remove to clean. I will definitely seriously look at different brands next purchase.

Rated 1 out of 5 by tedtor from simpson no more First impression when installing the machine was its weight, it is light, very light Fired the machine after having to get under the machine with garden shears to cut a number of cables installed in factory for transit The machine is noisy and clunks through the washing cycle Had the machine on AUTO water level, we came to realize machine was leaving cloths dirty on AUTO water level, AUTO water level might save water but this is useless if does not clean clothes Over the last month I noticed some dampness on the laundry floor and then about 2 weeks ago the there was water everywhere, moved the machine and could see the machine had been spewing water and detergent out of the rear of machine Called Simpson, Simpson just gave me the telephone number of a service agent, warranty is suppose to be free in home service, (I live in the country), Simpson quickly stated service agent would charge travel fees Well its been 2 weeks now, multiple calls to agent, no one has come to look at machine. Machine is in laundry with a plastic tarp under it and towels around it for when it next has a spew. Bought machine on sale with wine and towel giveaways, wine and towels were quite good pity about washing machine attached, maybe Simpson could change their giveaways to tarps and towels to better suit this machine

Rated 5 out of 5 by John from What a TOP Loader I bought this top loader SWT 8043 washing machine a month ago to replace a machine I have had for 17years. The old one started making some strange noises so I decided to look around for a replacement. To my suprise I found this great Simpson that I have found so easy to operate especially the eye catching control panel. The service from Harvey Norman was helpful, but the washer sold itself.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Suzie62 from Gentle Wash Have only owned top of the line, expensive machines, (Keenmaid, Maytag) over 28 years. Haven't seen any difference in washing with this new inexpensive washer. Gentle wash, gentle spin and lint free. Minumum water useage. Very Happy.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Faraway Shambles from Garbage Bought this machine 2months ago rubbish stopped working and service man could not fix. They bought out another to replace it and it also won't work. Do not buy one you will regret it. Twice bitten in 2 months this machine is a lemon.
