The CHiQ CW106581AXU sits fourth in our best 10kg washing machines guide: a 10 kg, 1400 rpm front loader in grey, listed at £339.99 with a 4.4 out of 5 score from 106 ratings. Its star breakdown reads 9, 1, 3, 7 and 80, which adds up to exactly 100 — the same pattern as every other listing in the guide — so those bars are shares of the ratings rather than counts of them. Read that way, 9% of the CHiQ's ratings are one-star, against 6% on the £279 Candy and 18% on the £349 TCL. The bars themselves average out at 4.48, a shade above the 4.4 sitting next to them.

The spec table is where this listing gets untidy. Item Dimensions reads 58D x 60W x 85H centimetres, while the first bullet says 600x577x847mm — 60 cm wide and 57.7 cm deep, not 58. The same table's Item Depth field says 60.0 centimetres, and it also carries a "depth with door open maximum" of 52 centimetres, which is less than the 58-60 cm body depth given twice elsewhere on the page. The 13.5-inch LED touchscreen in the bullet would be a 34 cm diagonal on a 60 cm wide machine; the spec table itself only says "LED". Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any testing we have carried out.
