I can't answer where it's made unfortunately but you can rule out the Far East by seeing if it has a Made in EU sticker inside the door like many Zanussi washers do.
The previous generation machines were Italy, Spain & Poland i think.
The Inverter Motors do sound good - amazing that when other manufacturers boast about the quietness of their machines, Zanussi make no big deal of theirs! An hour for rinsing however, is ridiculous! Can you not press SuperQuick on rinses? If not maybe just select a quick wash like Mini30 without detergent to rinse items, perhaps?
Progress indicators have been a problem on Zanussi's for a few years, but least you have an LED time remaining display i guess. Does it not display any symbols like the old LED displays on Jetsystems that showed a thermometer for 'heating' etc? I only use a tiny amount of softener but i'd imagine my Mum who uses quite abit more might find the softener compartment a pain too.
