Zanussi ZFC102/3T

Advantages: Nice looking and works well except for the leaks
Disadvantages: Leaks

...I bought a Zanussi washing machine twenty years ago on the recommendation of a friend and it lasted very well, seeing a lot of hard service before finally wearing out after 15 years or so. On the strength of that I bought a Zanussi dishwasher and a Zanussi washing machine three and a half years ago. After three years the height adjuster on the upper basket of the dishwasher snapped, which cost £30 for replacement parts. Six months after that the dishwasher started to leak from underneath somewhere after it had been used for the first time on the 70 degree setting. Potential repairers wanted more to fix it (with no guarantee of success) than it will cost to get a new machine. Coming on top of the Zanussi washing machine bought at about the same time starting to leak after just two years I'm not very impressed.... Read review

Advantages: Good stylish wasing machine, also quiet.
Disadvantages: Some labelling could be improved

...Purchased it recently after previously owning a superb Zanussi and was pleased to find the quality of appliance was continued. Good washing and drying, also as quiet as my old one. My son certainly enjoys this newer model as the door design enables him to sit watching the washing spin. Well for the first few minutes of the wash anyway. The price of the Zanussi IZ161W is nothing spectacular but i feel it provides value for money and I have had no problems since i took the plunge to stick with Zanussi. I would recommend this washer easily as the best i have ever worked with, it is also efficient. Some labelling is slightly poor but that is a minor disadvantage and doesn't compromise the overall standard.... Read review

Advantages: Styling, Cost, Lovely Hob.
Disadvantages: Fan oven a bit over enthusiastic.

...This is by no means a cheap cooker, but everything on it oozes quality. All the buttons and dials switch and turn positively, with no play in them at all. Visually the cooker looks stunning, with halogen hobs, and the usual array of sizes and half /full rings. The cooker has a top and a bottom oven. The top oven doubles as a grill, and both have the benefits of a backlight and fan operation. The Zanussi cooks quickly and evenly; in fact it is so efficient especially with the fan oven that you may need to take about 10% the cooking times. The purchase cost was £600 including a good deal on a 5-year warranty thrown in for free.... Read review
