Advantages: A 7kg load - it can do 7 sheets at a time Disadvantages: See updated review!
UPDATE - 15 OCT 2007 Still going strong, however have noticed it is a good bit noisier than my old Zanussi used to be - especially on the spin cycle. Other problems - it is so easy for someone to accidently start the cycle off again by simply leaning on the buttons. Have occasionally found it mid-cycle when I know it should have finished hours before! It's impossible to change most of the programmes other than skip forward on the cycle - ie you can't ... ...hotter or cooler, which has been a bit of a pain! You'd basically have to start over again with a fresh batch of powder as it always starts each programme with an 'emptying out'. As I'm a skinflint, I just put up with whatever I happen to have originally picked.
Last negative fact - say you've handwashed a garment and wish to merely spin the item, the minimum spin is a 10 minute 'rinse and spin' - impossible to just 'spin'.
I still haven't gotten ...

Advantages: Big; fairly easy to use; heats its own water; shows time remaining; can pause it Disadvantages: Beeps far too much which is VERY annoying; a bit too big
We bought this a few months ago when our old Zanussi packed up.
Being a second (it had a dent on one side) it was discounted, and I can't remember how much it cost. We bought it from the man who came to repair the old one but couldn't (or so he said!).
Personally, I think at 7kg maximum load, this was too big even for a family of four. All too often we have put a load in, only to find it only fills half the maximum, making us feel guilty about ... ...washing machine heats its own water, whereas our previous model drew on our hot water supply, leaving little for anything else while it was on. The new model is welcome in that it doesn't do that.
The washing machine door is hinged on the left and has a large release button on the back of the large handle.
At the side, near the top, it has a powder/softener drawer on the left, numerous buttons along the middle and a small LED screen on the right ...

Advantages: Large drum thats easy to load Disadvantages: Not as quiet as some on spin cycle
We have had this machine now for a couple of months after the bearings went on our old machince. I researched via the Which site before making the purchase and apart from the very expensive machines this manufacturer seemed to have a very good rating on service if something goes wrong (which hopefully won't happen for a while - although it doesn't seem to beep at the end of the wash at the mo, a godsend as the beeps are pretty annoying and you can ... ...the door). It is pretty quiet in operation, although the 1400 spin cycle isn't exactly quiet, but the spin is excellent and the clothes that come out dry much quicker than they did with my old machine. You choose your cycle by pressing buttons. Firstly the On button, then as follows:- There are 5 different fabric programmes - Cotton Daily, Cotton, Synthetics, Delicate and Wool/Handwash. There are 5 choices of temperature 95, 60,50,40 and 30. You ...

When my mother bought our first electrolux washing machine, it was out of obligation. The door-to-door sales lady is a friend who would come and visit us for tea until my Mum made the purchase. I think I was in nursery school at that age.
Although my mum was convinced that this is a good machine, the price was rather steep for our family of four. My dad was still quite new at his job and was not yet moving up the career ladder. Since where we live ... ...up for it from when we were very young. So buying this machine was a huge purchase decision.
Nevertheless, the machine turned out to be quite a good buy. It lasted us until my brother had almost graduated with a degree, and I was ready to leave home to get my degree. When finally it broke, my mum tried to contact the sales person to see what we could do to get it fixed, only to find out that the person who sold it to us had already passed away from ...
