The Eco friendly Zanussi ZXF 12070

Advantages: Eco friendly
Disadvantages: none to speak of yet!!

...from Curry's as our old Zanussi had finally ground to a halt. We paid approximately £320 for the new Zanussi but this included the removal of the old machine. On receiving it I was a bit daunted at first by the different numbers on the dial but on reading the instruction manual provided and once I started using it I found the Zanussi very easy and efficient to use. There are Eco friendly facilities that allow for a maximum wash at minimal use plus ...

Review of Zanussi ZWF 12070

Saved the day!!!!!

Advantages: Really quiet and not bulky or bouncy when the spin is on
Disadvantages: Not the best looking

Disaster was looming the other week when our washer broke down. We did not know what we was going to do. We had know money to just go out and buy another washer so we decided to get the new washing machine from the catalogue. And this was the one we got. The first look at the washer when it arrived was a little dissapointing because we had gone from a lovely grey and stainless steel washing machine to this WHITE one which we didnt exactly like but ...
...plugging it in and putting our first load of washing in we was pleasently supprised. Ths machine is really quiet. It comes with all the usual features like quick wash and cottons and you know all the usual stuff thats so exciting to have in a washer. Although look wise its not the best looking its a really good quality washer and sturdy and doesnt jump around all over the place and it really does have a decent size drum and you can fit a lot of clothes ...

Review of Zanussi ZWF 14070

A good brand gone bad

Advantages: Large capacity
Disadvantages: Poor customer service

We have had Whirlpool machines for 20 years or so because they are fast and have a good capacity. We have had this machine for 18 months. There are just two of using it and the tub bearing failed. Whirlpool want £662 to repair it or provide a new one for £595. We paid that amount for the original one. After some correspondence with Whirlpool they said they would not offer any recompense for the failure even when advised how little use it had had. ...

Review of Whirlpool HDW1011WG/BG

beko washer, the good & not so good.

Advantages: Good value machine, washes well on every programe
Disadvantages: Quick wash cycle takes ages!

...going to happen again. This Beko model was the cheapest one recommended on comparison web sites. Well I have to say I am chuffed to bits with it. It does exactly "what it says on the tin", lovely clean clothes on all programs, even the delicate wash. It is a very quiet machine, with easy to follow controls. My only little gripe with it is that Beko's idea of a quick wash programe is a bit wide of the mark to mine! Apart from that I am very happy ...

Review of Beko WM5100S

The pits

Advantages: NONE
Disadvantages: Length of time for wash, Poor wash, Leaking, over-sensitive balance

I bought this machine about 6 months ago as a fairly basic work horse machine. It is cold fill and supposed to be green & economical to run - huh! Firstly it takes 2.5 hours for a full cotton wash and I would question how 2.5 hours electricity saves much over heating the water a bit more. I don't have that time to wait for a wash to finish - so what economy? Quickwash is just a swill round - nothing more. The balance mechanism is so delicate that ...
...still dripping - more waste of power and time. On several occasions it has leaked water when taking in either through the soap drawer or today - the door! I like to hang washing outside when possible but half the day has gone before the wash has finished. I did have a fault soon after purchasing and I must say that was cheerfully and speedily fixed. This is the only good thing I have to say. The rest has been anger, irritation, aggravation and ...
