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: 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... Read review

Advantages: 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!
Disadvantages: Longer programme times, but can be reduced using Extra Quick option.

...On Last Wednesday 28th September, my kitchen was changed. The 7-year-old Hotpoint washer dryer has now been replaced by a fantastically modern, mid-range Zanussi ZWD1270W washer dryer. Even though the machine was around £350, what I have received is a machine that is worth every single penny we paid for it. EXTERIOR: When looking at the machine, you can see the drawer in the top left-hand corner. This is split up into three sections- The pre-wash section is the furthest to the left, the Main Wash section is in the middle, and the conditioner part situated at the very right of the drawer. One thing I have noticed, which is great, is that the drawer has several water holes at the top, more visible when the actual container has been taken out. If you need to take the drawer out for cleaning, you simply press a button... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, quiet, good energy rating.
Disadvantages: None so far

...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

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... Read review

...of the door near the hinge. There is a little compartment at the bottom for draining the machine if necessary, this need only be done once every six months or so, just to maintain the machine. I am really happy with this zanussi, it is easy to install as there is only 1 hot water pipe to attach to the mains water supply, it levels easy and the programs are easy to use. It holds more washing that my other washer used to and is a reasonable price. With a 12 months guarantee. I'd recommend it to you.... Read review

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...

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... Read review

...for families, then the last of lines. Instead of telling her to leave me alone to decide I sent her off to find out which they had in stock for a quick delivery. Left with my mother who told me off for being difficult and taking more than 5 minutes to choose, I spotted my Zanussi Jetsystem 1200. A white coloured looker with rounded edges that would be less painful than my old square edged washer if a child or I knocked against it. Beab approved, A for low energy consumption, and fitting my every other criteria. I'd already been told that front loaders were all of a standard size so I knew that there wouldn't be any problems with it fitting into the alloted space. When she got back the saleswoman tried to steer me away from my dream machine but I know what I want and they had one in stock. At exactly the same time as I parted with £299... Read review

Advantages: Quiet, economical and it does the job!
Disadvantages: Having to spend the money on one in the first place!!

...and headed off to Power House to check out the new washers. I had mentioned that I was in the market for a new washer to the girls at work a few weeks previously and asked if any of them would recommend a name...altogether now..”Zanussi” they replied in unison!! Admittedly I had given this brand some thought after reading an op about them on here by Elspeth quite some time ago. From time to time I chat to Elspeth on MSN also so the next time she logged in I picked her brains about the machine to see if she was still happy with it, she was. So, that was that then, if the price was right, Zanussi it was! I knew what features I wanted from a washing machine, energy efficiency, variable speed spin and a half load and quick wash option, the usual things really. What I wasn’t bothered about was the spin cycle that holds, supposedly... Read review
