Advantages: Very reliable and economical
Disadvantages: None found so far

I bought this washing machine when we moved back to the country from abroad. Having 2 young children, I needed a good washing machine that could tackle even the most dirty clothes. This one definitely fits the bill. It is capable of doing any kind of washing from small loads to bedding and towels. It has plenty of wash options as well as variable spin speeds. I find the stain blaster button on it excellent for those messy toddler moments, and the ...
...or when something just needs a quick refresh. It also has the option of time delay for those of us who like to do our washing in the night on economy 7. All in all I have found this to be one of the best washing machines I have had, it is not too noisy, and very economical. A very good all round family machine. ... Read review

Advantages: Economical to run and good for the environment too
Disadvantages: None I have found

Bought to replace an unrepairable 5 year old Servis, and very pleased. Much quieter and faster - especially on the time saver washes, yet has the capacity to do a whole load of towels/bedding etc as it takes 6kg. Very fast spin means less drying time - especially important if you are using a tumble drier. Good range of programmes although generally most people only use two or three. The time saver washes are an especially good addition for light ...
...speed, as well as extra rinses and a stain buster programme too mean it can cope with most things you can throw at it. Has a very useful "time left" indicator - great if you are going out and want to know whether to wait a few minutes or not for it to finish! Great to find such economy and +Aaa washer at such a good price. Very happy so far! ... Read review

Advantages: 3 Quick washes, wide door opening
Disadvantages: none

I bought this to replace my 12 year old zanussi as it had finally given up the ghost! It has 3 quick washes from 59 mins, 44 mins and 29 mins. It then has plently more programs to choose from such as sport, cottons, prewash, rinse, all with varying temperatures up to 90 and a spin up to 1400.

...function of 3, 6 or 9 hours and shows in a red bar as it counts down the time till it starts. On the same red bar it also indicates in 60, 30 or 15 mins how much longer of the cycle is left, If no bar shows then the cycle has more than 50 mins to go. It is easy to get to the filter, and the kick plate that hides it can also be used as the trap to collect the water. Had left a hair band in an item of clothing and noticed as it was washing. Was able ... Read review

Advantages: quick programs, quiet, good washing rsults
Disadvantages: small drum for capacity, feels a bit cheap

i bought this as my 6 year old zanussi needed a new PCB and htis was cheaper £188 than getting old one repaired. Despite having a a rating for the nerg its not the best as my old zaussi used less energy! Its not as good as the machine it replaed but for the price its the quality of the wash and spin that are better than the old machine( almost twice the price) The controls feel a bit cheap and arn't that intuative ( well not to a 30 yr old man). ...
