Zanussi ZWF 10070

Advantages: Larger Glass Door, Quiet
Disadvantages: Lots of Packaging

...After 15 wonderful years from our last Zanussi 1000rpm spin washing machine it was finally time to purchase a new one. We knew that it had to be another Zanussi as nothing can match the price and reliability factor. The main decision was to choose between the 1200 and 1400 spin speeds. As most of the retailers had very good discounts the 1400 was only a few pounds more than the 1200 so the faster speed seemed the best value. There is now an awful lot of packaging involved with washing machines, but dents loose value for the retailers and the drum has to be protected. You will need a couple of bin-bags for the plastic and the tools to remove the safety bolts from the back. If you are just replacing a machine, the plumbing in is fairly easy depending on how accessible your pipes are, most retailers have a removal and fitting scheme in... Read review

...It's been over six months since I've been using the Zanussi-Electrolux ZWF 16281. It is a free standing 1600 rpm washing machine in a white finish with dimensions of (H)85.0 x (W)60.0 x (D)60.0 cm. It seems a well constructed aappliance and I suppose by today's standards it was a reasonable price (Just over three hundred quid). It certainly washes clothes to my satisfaction and wash loads on the whole seem to take the same length of time as my parent's Zanussi ZWC 1300. When buying electrical appliances these days I always take into account environmental and energy efficiency related issues and the ZWF16281 certainly meets my expectations in this department. It comes with an A rated energy rating, an A rated wash performance an A rated spin performance. I think the wash performance related to how much water the machine uses... Read review

...Our washing machine finally gave up the ghost on Good Friday, we went in to Comet Electricals who, I have to say, were extremely helpful, and we chose the ZWF 1621 from Zanussi-Electrolux for three reasons: 1. Price: we did not want to pay over £300, and this was £249.99, plus plumbing etc (I'll come on to that). 2. Good, realiable brand. 3. They had these in stock for quick delivery. Whilst I am not reviewing Comet, we did take advantage of their delivery and plumbing (£32.95) and eco diposal of our old washer (£7.50)....just try getting a plumber out the next day to do all this for £40. The washer is white, two dials on the right, one for wash programme, and one for spin speed. Five buttons on the left; from 'start' to delay start, pre wash, options and half load. There is a very clear display of lights showing what part... Read review
