Evolution..... Yeah the Zanussi ranges have kinda evolved quite nicely over the last 10 years or so, so different ranges look OK side-by-side in a way that wouldn't work with some manufacturers products. Obviously we can tell the difference but Joe Public wouldn't! Would it default to...

Warranty.... I can see the Zanussi in the link has 2 year warranty, but the Zanussi's on Currys website don't appear to, so be mindful that the 2 year warranty is on offer from the retailer you choose to buy from. John Lewis generally offer longer warranties than the likes of Currys & Comet -...

Like It! Like the look of that. No massive suprise as i usually love Zanussi's! Looks like they've just tweaked the dryers from the previous range or two rather than go for an all out redesign, which bodes fairly well as i believe the recent dryers are pretty decent by modern standards. If...

WDT I know someone on here who has recently got rid of his WDT1061 - I'm sure he'll be along shortly, but from what i know he had very little trouble with it. Similarly my FL1012 of a similar era has proved a solid, problem free machine. Typical of Zanussis of that era really. The one thing...

Looks Promising.... Nice to see the split tub - don't find that on many machines of this price anymore. The 2 year guarantee also inspires abit of confidence even if it's just a way of breaking into the market. Did the Amica replace the Beko or the Servis? I liked that Beko, particularly with...

My Auntie has the 1400 6kg Washer version of this machine, badged Activa Smart. Apart from the occasional smell of burning for the first couple of months, which i thought was a taste of things to come, it's actually been fine for over 2 years. I presume as it looks Nextra-ish & is UK built...

Loving the Zanussi Washcrafts on at the min but already got a matching pair (Z9292T washer & Z930 Electronic Sensor dryer) so will leave these ones for someone else, would be good to see them bought & cleaned up. LOVE the FL1023 as its effectively the replacement to my Z9292T, but as i already...

Optima.... The scary thing is so many people do pay that extra for the Hotpoint name, presumably because they don't know what you've just said! Amongst my Mums friends Hotpoint is spoken of as if it's a really good brand - for example when a persons machine goes wrong, which seems to be more...

Chat Room I think this would be a good idea too. It'd help get rid of some of the one-to-one conversations that've been going on and save clogging the forums up - the site nearly grinds to a halt (at least on my internet connection/laptop) when i open a thread with more than a couple of photos...

You've probably got a decent deal on the Indesit. I'm not a huge fan, but with the appliance market changing as much as it has recently, some Indesits do now appear to be out-living Zanussi's. I wouldn't touch a Hotpoint because the quality seems little better than the cheaper Indesits, but...

nrones..... Thanks for the further explanation, I appreciate it. It sounds like Candy have possibly done more to alert & ressure the public in Germany than they have in the UK. I appreciate they might've been able to do an internal recall in the UK using sales information, but for anyone they...

White Knight.... White Knight now offer sensor dryers (both vented and condensor), and from looking at their website (link below) are about to start selling (if they havn't already) ones with digital displays aswell. Look abit old school compared to the likes of Hotpoint, but it's quite a nice...

Maybe these machines are gonna reach their end of life in this way, rather than PCB or bearings like most other modern ones. I've no confidence in Hoover/Candy's same one-line response at all anymore. Thankfully the only Hoover/Candy appliance in our close and extended family is a Candy Activa...

AquaCycle: In that case I stand corrected, but at least Beko have researched which machines were affected and recalled them to be fixed. This appears to be more than what Candy have done. It smacks me as being abit like the Toyota recall farse - manufacturers who admit something is wrong are...

What a shame.... this is bad news. I'd say it's even worth finding a local engineer to look incase it's not the whole timer that's knackered. Remember, once you buy a new machine, unless it's a Miele you'll be into the replacing (and spending about £300) every 3-4 year routine, so i'd try &...

aeg03..... You got the pump problem fixed on the AEG then? I might've missed you posting a conclusion on it as i've not been on here much for a month or so. Liam

Oh probably..... but arn't the affected Beko appliances ones that were made quite a number of years ago? These Candy/Hoover machines are only a couple of years old in some cases. I'm abit wary about Beko refrigeration after the recent news stories, but i wouldn't be put off buying their...

Could be worse...... I might've had a whirl at repairing, but it is a gamble on newer machines & without knowing any local engineers in Luton, you could've wasted £100 and still had a broken machine. Some people are abit wary of the chosen replacement machine because of it not being a genuine...

As pierreandreply4 said, Candy-Hoover (and Hotpoint-Indesit) should've sent letters to the owners of all potentially affected machines offering a free inspection and repair/replacement if the machine was deemed faulty. If this had happened then there wouldn't still be machines exploding in the...

Rectified? They might've rectified the problem on machines leaving the factory now, but there are still thousands of ticking timebombs in service that havn't been checked or replaced. Thankfully theyre such badly made machines that it shouldn't be long before they all start wearing out, but...
