Well it came! About 5 minutes before Tesco's did, so I only had time to take it out of the box and switch it on before I plunged into washing the shopping. By the time I'd done that there wasn't much afternoon left but I did have a little go and it's lovely! Lots of it is exactly the as my Emerald so it didn't feel too unfamiliar. It doesn't have the nice hard drop-over cover, only a thin plastic one so I can see me making one for it. Kneelift
@Lilian ? Have I got one? Not sure what it is. I shall spend more time getting to know it tomorrow.
My decision to buy it was quick, I know, but I can't get the other one serviced/repaired in the near future and I really couldn't be without a functioning machine in the meantime. I was lucky enough to have a little money at my disposal and it seemed like a good use for it. When I get the Emerald fixed, if no-one in the family wants it I'll probably sell it.
