All I can say Nick is to go with your heart. I know I can drive myself mad trying to decide what to get. Of course nothing is guaranteed, you may get a Friday night machine that’s crap but then that can happen to any machine, even Miele! I haven’t had any balancing or noise problems yet but then...

Hi all and thanks for your comments again and to AEG03 for explain the reasons for certain things. The machine certainly is quiet, which is just what I wanted for my open plan kitchen in my flat. Hi Nick, your questions I’ll will see what I can do. The problem is that I’m not always at the flat...

Well last night after a dinner party, I did a smallish, Superquick Cotton wash. I selected temp 60, spin 900 and extra rinse. It was fascinating as it acted a bit like an old fashioned Bendix/Zanussi. The program lasted 1hr 5mins and the first 30mins was the wash. The rhythms are long with very...

Congrats! Hi David and Richard Congratulations on your wonderful new purchases! I would have loved to get this machine, but unfortunately this credit crunch is stretching things a bit. I hope you have many hours of fun with it and looking forward to the piccies. Take care Rob

Hi all and thanks for all your comments! Great to see some old faces again (Jon and Nick) haven't spoken to you in ages. I must admit there was a Bosch on in Allders so I could see the program times and I was very impressed. It did sway me but I have never owned a new Zanni and wanted a...

Hi Darren, good to hear from you! I must find out when you are free so we can have a natter. Yes it does have the extra rinse option. I have used, Superquick Cottons, Superquick synthetics + extra rinse and finally Jetsystem Cotton. I want to try Superquick Cottons + extra rinse next time as I...

Here is the fascia. Unfortunately it is quite blurry. The kitchen also looks rather beaten up in the first pic because I had a bit of a nightmare screwing the taps as the gap is quite small. I have done some vids of both machines which I will post later. Rob

The Whirlpool The Whirlpool was fine. It had a 1400 long spin and washed and rinsed well. I just got a little bored with it. It is also quite loud so night time washing was out of the question. My brother now has it! Can anyone date it?

Hello all Haven’t been around much but I thought I would give you a low down on this machine. I have recently acquired a new Zanussi Jetsystem 1600 ZWF16581W. It was delivered yesterday and I had it up and running yesterday evening. It replaces a Whirlpool 1400 (not sure of age) which was left...

Hi Darren That really does sound awful, not what you would expect from such a new machine. My WD640 never sounded like that. Someone definately needs to look at it. Hopefully you'll get shot of it soon. Rob

Hi there Luke So how are you finding the programmes and things like noise and balancing? I have never seen one of these work so I would be interested to know. Rob

Hi Darren, you want to get this baby fixed soon before it's a real right off, what have you been doing to it tut, tut LOL! At least if it is fixed you should be able to sell it and get a good price with it being so young. Use the guarentee whilst it is free. Take care Rob x

Hi Richard Thanks for the link and sorry for the late response. I have been away at a friends. I really think I might get one of these. Rob

Now not getting it! Hi all thanks for your comments. I have some good news and bad news The bad news is that after moving my washer to the bathroom, I realised it was too cramped and of course I could barely see anything moving around the machine. This means I will now not get a dishwasher and...

Hi all I have just decided to buy this Electrolux dishwasher for my flat. They don't seem to be making these anymore so I thought I would get it while I could. It won't get heavy use but should be fun to use. I managed to get it new for £249. Will update when it arrives. Rob

Hello Richard I am really pleased for you, that's a superb machine. I absolute love the Miele styling. I really wish I could afford one of these for my flat but I think it really can't be justified. What are the program lengths like? Hopefully it will give you many happy years of great...

What's the difference between AEG and Zanussi Hi guys thanks for your comments. At lunchtime I was looking at the AEG machines. Luckily they were switched on and I could play with them. Quite fun but a bit complicated and obviously more expensive. What's the difference between the two...

Thanks for your messages guys, that is really helpful. I get the impression that Zanussi is a good mid range value for money machine. This one has an invertor motor so should be nice and quiet. Whether I get it or not depends on our holiday. If the holiday is on I won't be able to afford it...

I remember in the 70s our kitchen had a breakfast bar. I used to sit on a stool and help with the washing if my mum wasn't in a hurry. I remember the spin dryer was quite noisy. I think she got rid of it around 81 when she bought a top loader Philips. I was very miffed as I really wanted her to...

Thanks for the pics Rich. My mother had that machine only her's was an earlier version. Not quite sure what happened to it! It always ennoyed me that I could not see it spin. Anyway I hope you have many hours of fun with it! Rob
