It is the first attempt of the Imput series that came out in late 90ies. Five buttons allow the choice of fabric-colour-load size-detergent type-soil level

La più perfetta macchina da lavare presente oggi sul mercato

Ah... che frase... vabbè

GOOD Carlo! But over all.... BIO PRESTO TAED!!!! My very first mom most used washer detergent. I remeber my Sangiorgio whan mum did the whitest whites with dialing on 1 whit soaking option and then she let the machine go ahead the following morning!!
What wonderful memories!!

Nothing is new if it come back again!!
 
again from 1984 Rex brochure

The R899TX (right) was the TOL zanussi sold on italian market.
It has a 1000 rpm spin (at those times TOL mieles W772/784 were 1200 rpm), half load, 500 rpm setting, extended wash time for low temps and - unique feature ever seen on Zannies - interval spin

The R875X was the average machine of those times, with an outer door to fit better under counter and "hide" in the kitchen

hai ragione - you're right ....

...the R 899 was much better than that christmas-tree-lighted R2001IS : 47 litre drum vs 42, so it was a REAL 5kg machine, not a 4.5 kg as the others.
In those times our Candy SA5 was about to die (it was 20yo...)
so we were on the hunt 4 a new washer.
 
R899

Hi Tom,I guess so. Such machine seems to be oriented towards northern EU markets rather than southern ones. I bet it has been rebadged for local markets ... those games began much earlier than Electrolux bigbrotherhood

Thanks for posting the brochure images Carlo.

Ever since I first saw a piccy (a poor one at that) of the dark facia of the Zanussi Input System, I have always wondered what it really looked like.

The first piccy of the Rex input system has helped a great deal - it looks superb! I wonder if therer are any about today?
Here's hoping.

I was always very fond of the Zanussi Washcraft range and have my eyes peeled for one at the moment.

Hi Tom.
Like you I wonder whether we did ever recieve the four button machine. The highest i ever remember seeing was the three button Z939T and Z949T - but never a four button jobby.
A little Zanussi mystery there then!

Cheers
Paul

ZannAEGs

Still we are in the Big Brother Year but chez AEG. If the fascias were covered you'd say " they're Zannies !!"

BrandtAEGs ??

Those were the first Favorits with adjustable upper rack
Middle arm feed come from a jet in the centre of the lower arm.
They were loudy as Candy Stipomatics (probably the loudest DW ever made)
Design is neither the usual AEG nor Zannish ..maybe Brandt made as some top loaders (lavamat 84/87) ??????
Anyway it was suddenly discontinued

The pre-Electrolux years of Zanussi still hold a great deal of mystery for me. I keep seeing machines that I never knew existed. Electrolux have disowned some of the older machines, with technical information being very hard to find.

Ever tried to find a technical manual for the C7000/C8000 series of machines from the 70s/80s? Electrolux would say there's no such thing, yet I'm sure they did make one.

My Zanussi Z9191T has the most complex timer I've ever seen, so many wires! Then again, there are no electronics either, so the wires must compensate. I can't get the half load function to work and I don't know where to begin!

Early Zanussi/Privileg Washer Dryer

There was a Zanussi version of this machine available in the UK, I've never seen one though. I believe it's quite rare.

Privileg machine sold in Germany

A nice example of a C7000/C8000 series machine produced by Zanussi. Love the drum with the double circle at the back!

Privilege = Zoppas!

Hi Tom,
Privilege is a brand of machine here which are branded Zoppas!

Her you are one of my last restoration, it's a Zoppas P404... lovely the low wash rythm... unfortunately I didn't any video of the machine beofer have hooked it down

Zoppas 1985 TOL : P448X - P498TX

Tom, I've never seen that dropdown Privileg !! At those times italian producers sold in internal market mostly BOL and MOL, cause people bought italian washers for price. TOL machines came mostly from Germany, even if I remember some squared door (real)Hoover in a shop close home -never seen elsewhere

Back to Zoppas 1985 : TOL DW P 105 L

Looks like a certain CASTOR C75 someone knows well .. ;-)
Those DW really were nice potscrubbers. It is due to their "long" washing time 106 mins vs 60 mins of my old miele G507 @ cold fill

OH YEAH!

Here it you are in a before-after restoration picture.

Concerning the 800 super spin (nowadays would be not the worst but of course is a goal reached and outranged, speaking of 1400-1600-1800rpm!!), it was a really good performance without any electronic control but only based on the better quality of the machine's components and thanks to the higher complexive weight of the shaking-group consisting in outertub and ballastes.
Really... "Zoppas li fa e nessuno li distrugge" (=Zoppas made them and nobody crashes them)

BYE!

PS: Carlo ci pensi che i cataloghi REX di quell'epoca li ho buttati!?!??!?! GRRRR!!!
