Cracking machine, super reviews and a whacking 10KG drum
£279 with account sign up (email arrived within 5 mins - see 1st comment for link) or try using code TENNEROFF for £289 price if you can't be bothered to wait :)
Featuring a huge 10kg drum, this Zanussi washing machine has enough capacity to cope with the demands of a large, busy household. AquaFall technology helps you to get the most out of your detergent. It works by spraying water and detergent from the top of the drum, creating a shower effect that quickly and evenly soaks your clothes for a thorough wash. The invertor motor helps to reduce noise and energy wastage as it is built with frictionless magnets rather than noisy brushes.

Nice deal but shame it's 71cm deep when most work tops are 60cm.

How many washes/cycles is this designed for? I know it's a minefield and manufacturers don't tend to publish this information.
Our modern (not the older ones with good bearings) Hotpoint is on it's last legs (well bearings to be fair) after only 5 years and 1 set of replacement bearings.
All research seemed to point towards certain Miele models as they are built to last.

Not the cheapest its been. Seen it at £230+ delivered
All washing machines come with an energy rating, ranging from A to A+++. This tells you how efficient your new machine will be, with A+++ being the best. This particular model is at the top of the scale with the highest rating on the market. It works more efficiently by using less electricity, which can help you to save money on your energy bills in the long run.
£25 to take away my old machine :disappointed: makes it £305 I was looking to buy it till I got to that part.

Did you actually read my posting? Judging by your ridiculous comment about selecting different spin speeds on the same machine, you completely misunderstood. If spin speed were the only thing that made any difference, then there wouldn't be a special test mandated for spin performance, which actually measures how well the clothes are spun, would there? That is my point. Try to understand it.

Spin speed is irrelevant? So it makes no difference according to you if you put clothes into a tumble dryer after spinning them at 800rpm or 1600rpm
Suggest you try it and time the drying time and then work out the difference in electricity costs.

Good price but spin speed is really important for me. Min 1600rpm or it comes out too wet.
ALL these deals you find have crap spin speeds of ridiculous 800, 1000 or 1200 rpm. Wouldn't entertain any of that spin speed.
pibpob to jnigel26
15 Apr 16#60
Spin speed is largely irrelevant - there are so many other factors that influence the spin performance. That is why the EC has gone to the trouble of mandating a test for spin performance. The result for this machine is "B".

I don't see Zanussi being "belittled" - I see a statement of fact, that a current model will bear little resemblance to one that is 13 years old. And for the same reason, "efficient" washing would not have been what it does, when considering water, electricity and detergent consumption.
Tallyho
15 Apr 16#57
A sample of one for me is just fine, extremely reliable, museum piece or not it washes clothes efficiently & I don't worry about whether it will last for 12 months or more.
You belittle Zanussi, how many samples are you judging to come to that decision ?

It takes 10kg of washing which is a volume/size to me.

No, it's a weight, so the question still stands. Not sure what the answer is though: it would depend on the spin speed/duration and the nature of the washing.

Zanussi is owned by Electrolux so its a step up from Hotpoint, they also make AEG and John Lewis brand machines.
I went with the lg from curry's as it has 5 years warranty. One call out and it costs the same as the lg after year 2.
After 5 years if my lg breaks down and the cost to fix is over £80 I will just scrap it and put that money towards a new machine.
Machines won't last 10 years plus like before. Companies are using different materials due to regulations, engineering for a certain number of cycles etc.

Here we go!
My point is that it is not the same as having 2 years (or more) warranty, where, hopefully, faults are reasonably quickly sorted. The "law" is about being fit for purpose so you have to claim and offered try to prove that it wasn't, all the while having no working washing machine (given this is a 10 kg one, it would suggest there's quite a large household, for example). Whereas a warranty or guarantee is the manufacturer's (supposed) intent to fix/replace etc. in addition to the law.
You let yourself be scammed in thinking that generally having a longer warranty is not better, or at least more reassuring.

at a lot of expense? after 6 months you have to prove the fault is not caused by you under "the law" which normally involves paying for a very expensive indepedent inspection/testing of the equipment followed by a report to prove the fault is with the company.

Seems decent, but only a year warranty mind (don't quote me that EU law carp) and it'll take about 3 hours to do a full 10kg wash. As with most machines, the quick programmes are for a lot lower load.

Very nice bargain washer for all those who bought for only £217 !
I bought this from ao eBay shop when they had the 20 percent off and it's a great machine. Very quiet and cleans really well. The 30 minute cycle will only spin at 800 so the clothes are a bit wet and you need to do a 15 min spin at 1400 afterwards. I can live with that for the rest of the benefits.

Could this fit a king sized quilt in?
pibpob to midjet666
14 Apr 161#16
Quilts are in three dimensions - you've only given us two. Why not stand on the bathroom scales, then stand on them with the quilt to see what the quilt weighs. That might be a starting point.
Couple of things she didn't say; correct me if I'm wrong:
1) The quick washes use more energy, water or both
2) The display doesn't say how long it will take; it will give a worst case figure which will very likely reduce as the cycle progresses. My washing machine and dishwasher both do this; I've never been able to provoke them into running a "worst case" cycle.

"AquaFall technology" is just a recirculation pump, which all washing machines have had for years. But maybe some extra cheap ones don't have in inverter motor. The inverter motor makes it as quiet as the "direct drive" ones.

Bought this a few weeks back on another offer & love it. Cleans clothes very well and the 10kg drum has reduced the number of times the washer is on each week as it replaced a Samsung Ecobubble 7kg.
