This item was too big for us to review - but I thought it worth a mention - as there must be other luvvies out there that dream of doing their washing in 14 minutes.  BEKO have recently launched the BEKO Express Washing Machine, which according to their press release is  'the world's Quickest washing machine at full load on the market'.  The shortest setting is 14 minutes, and there are 30 and 58 minute  cycles as well. It has also been awarded a "Plus X" award for Ecology for its low water consumption (another way to reduce your carbon footprint).  It costs £349 and you can see more at http://www.bekoxpress.co.uk.
