Advantages: Large porthole for easy loading/unloading, easy to use dials, delay start Disadvantages: Soap Dispenser doesnt flush enough water through and sometimes leaves clumps of soap
Advantages: Eco friendly Disadvantages: none to speak of yet!!
We purchased this washing machine in July via the internet 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 a combination of other washes that I haven't had a chance to use yet. From my point of view the the overall performance from the Zanussi is excellent, it is easy to use and also very quiet. I would recommend this washing machine to anyone. ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Zanussi ZWF 12070
Advantages: Decent wash and spin, easy to use Disadvantages: Broke down after 5 weeks
Bought a ZanussiZWF16070W1 from M&S. Installation engineer arrived in very bad mood and said "Zanussis are a nightmare to install" and then refused to install it. He said we would get the installation fee refunded from M&S but they later said we wouldn't.
Machine was reasonable for wash and spin but broke down after just 5 weeks. The drum stopped turning and it sounded like the motor was having a problem.
M&S say it is outside their 7 day period, so it's now under manufacturer warranty. They will arrange an engineer to visit (for which we have to take a day off work) and either repair it or condemn it for replacement (which will mean another day off work).
I would have expected a straight replacement for a machine that breaks down after just 5 weeks.
Overall very disappointing service and unsatisfactory reliability ...
Sooooo quiet, even when spinning at the full 1200 rpm. Countdown timer. Variable Temperature & Spin options. Handwash programme. Uses far less water than previous machine. Cold fill only... The list goes on!
Longer programme times, but can be reduced using Extra Quick option. (*)
