Three As for Zanussi

Advantages: Good all round performance and environmentally friendly
Disadvantages: None worth mentioning so far

...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...

Zanussi-Electrolux ZDC 67550

Advantages: easy to use large capacity
Disadvantages: None so far

...Having just bought a Zanussi ZWF12070 washing machine, which I have already review I decided as my Hotpoint tumble drier was playing up (again) I used to trust Hotpoint (not any more) I would invest in a Zanussi machine in light of the excellent performance of the above washer I chose the ZDC67550W A bit about the company The company was formed in Italy way back n 1916 and thus is well established The Company rapidly grew from a handful of employees to over 300 in a mere 30 year period and have now built a dedicated centre whose aim is constantly developing and improving their range of products. It became part of the Electrolux group in 1980 and still goes from strength to strength and is dedicated to making those routine jobs easier and more efficient What is the ZDC67550W This is what is classed as a condenser drier...

Life In The Freezer - David Attenborough

Advantages: So interesting, fun to watch, educational
Disadvantages: I want more episodes!!

...I really love 'The Life Collection' from David Attenborough. The complete series of 'Life in the Freezer' was the third dvd of the collection that I bought. The series itself has six episodes which are all on one disc. They were originally transmitted in 1993. The six episodes are: Episode 1: The Bountiful Sea - All about the Southern Antarctic Ocean and the species in it Episode 2: The Ice Retreats - About when Spring comes and the wildlife coming back to land to breed. Episode 3: The Race To Breed - How seals and penguins have to breed quickly before winter comes round again. Episode 4: The Door Closes - The disappearance of food as winter returns and how the wildlife have to migrate before this happens. Episode 5: The Big Freeze - How some animals stay and live in the extreme conditions and how life continues, against all...

Well Done Zanussi !!!!

Advantages: Superb results, Excelent value
Disadvantages: Extended manufacturer warranty costly...shop around

...First of all thankyou in advance for reading this, my second review. Hopefully it will be of some use to anyone interested in purchasing one of these machines or just as a comparison. I will try and cover the main features of the washer and explain how I have found them in terms of performance. When purchasing any product like this manufacturers tend to claim that their product is far better than the competitions. Being inquisitive and to have a better understanding, I tend to try and find out why it is better and how the results are archived. Zanussi's claim to fame is their "Unique Jet System" as this is the main selling feature I took the time to find out what it does and how it does it, rather than just being a term in a brochure. I also find asking these type of questions highlights how much or little the sales team know...

Review of Zanussi ZWC 1300

Zanussi-Electrolux ZDC 67550

Advantages: large, easy access,
Disadvantages: lint can get onto clothes on removal. Cannot change door opening!

...Having had a wonderful easy to use zanussi tumble dryer for the past umpteen years, I looked around and found that as i was satisfied with it's past performance, I would go with another zanussi. I have a large capacity washer, so I needed a 7kg dryer. The machine works well, although has many different settings, which i don't need and makes it a little complicated. The water reservoir is located at the top for easy removal. It is quiet and with the large door, makes it easy to load. Unloading however, You have to make sure you clear the lint filter before removing any clothes as it is situated at the front, just inside the door on the main body, so you have to pull the clothes out across it. When i forget- which is frequently, the clothes pick this up, which is rather annoying! I have it next to my WM and it would make life a lot...

A Good Attempt from Zanussi

Advantages: V. Good wash performance & drying.
Disadvantages: Feels lightweight and is somewhat noisy.

..., both when washing and pumping. Feels lightweight - would have preferred a weighted door and a spring-catch door handle mechanism. All said, it washes the dishes well and I'm pleased with it to the point that we later bought a Zanussi washing machine to go with it....

A cool white tardis from Zanussi

Advantages: Massive capacity, quiet and efficient
Disadvantages: doesn't have fast freeze

...When we replaced our fridge-freezer I was specifically looking for a larger fridge compartment as well as a good sized freezer. I have always been used to, and liked Zanussi as I was brought up with them. My mom swears by them and our first washing machine was a 15 year old Zanussi of hers. Understandably they were one of the makes we looked and after several comparisons we chose this Zanussi ZNB343W. The price was reasonable everywhere but we got it from Sainsbury for £297.00 in the sale. We used our nectar points to bring the price down further and received almost 600 further points on the purchase. The Zanussi ZNB343W is a frost free 60/40 fridge-freezer. The frost free freezing system stops ice building up inside the compartment so that you don?t have to defrost the freezer. It also means that ice doesn?t take up space that...

Zanussi FLA 1001W is purrfectly efficient

Advantages: economical, quiet and efficient
Disadvantages: no child lock means that Geoffrey the bear sometimes gets washed when he doesn't want to be!

...the cat - which amounted to the fact that either the offending washing machine went, or he would pack up his spotted hankie and seek a new stamping ground. It was a tough decision... but eventually we negotiated a settlement by which we would purchase a new washing machine. Oh my God! What a selection of washing machines there are nowadays! We eventually decided not to buy the one with in-built DVD player, and we plumped for a new model, the Zanussi FLA 1001 W, a standard machine with a half-load button and 1000rpm spin. So is it any good? In a word, yes! It shows us now how much the previous machine was on its last legs. It is much quieter, a helluva lot more economical, and hasn't attacked the cat yet! We chose a Zanussi because both of our mothers have one. My mum has had hers for 8 years and my mum-in-law has had hers for 12 years. So...
