insurers kindly agreed to pay for a replacement washer and so we began looking around for a suitable one. Finally after much searching in the shops and on-line we decided to go for a Zanussi as our previous one had been so good. However our new one had a few bonuses.
We bought our new Zanussi through a cash-back site and Asda direct and so the price was very good. I think we paid around £330. There is one problem which I guess was from Asda. The edge of the drum is just slightly bent out of shape. This is so small that we had been using the washer a few weeks before we realised it. As the washer had been in its packing waiting to be fitted for a few months I decided it was too late to complain to Asda and thought we would chance it. At present this does not affect the performance at all and only time will tell.
OUR ZANUSSI-ELECTROLUXZWD ...
Advantages: Easy to use, quick washing cycle Disadvantages: None
When our old washer/dryer brokedown we were keen to replace it with another one, but my previous make was no longer available; the
Zanussi Washer Dryer ZWD12270W seemed to be the best match for our requirements. It was a reasonable price in the category and supplied the same amount of drying space.
I did some internet reseach and found the best deal at currys.co.uk. The machine is £279.99 plus £19.95 delivery & collection of old one.
Another trawl of the internet found that I could get free delivery with the code AWSALEDEL and then got 1% cash back by going through the greasypalm website to do the purchase.
The statisics are :-
# Wash and dry in one machine - a great space saver.
# Wash load capacity - 6kg
# Drying load capacity - 3kg
# Ratings - C Energy A Wash B Dry
# Wash controls - Variable spin & temperature ...
Advantages: good range of programme cycles and good capacity Disadvantages: intial fault experienced
We bought a zanussizwd 16581 washer dryer in april from boots kitchens direct to replace our previous 3 year old zanussi washer dryer which we left in our old flat. We had no problems with our previous zanussi washer dryer, so were happy to go with this brand.
On initial use the Zanussi has provided good wash and dry ability across a range of temperatures and spin cycles. However, after 2 weeks use a fault has developed and after 2 engineer visits it looks like a new circuit board is required, so a 3rd visit is on the cards to replace the circuit board, hopefully when that is done, that will be the end to the faults.
I think that we have been a bit unlucky with this appliance, as I think Zanussi products are generally pretty reliable, but I'll update this review if we still have problems after the replacement of the circuit ...
