Hi all
Having owned a modern Hottie, which I left at my last property this is what I liked, disliked -
Disliked
Over sensitive out of balance
Repetitive distribution (unlike Zanussi which adjusts accordingly and quickly)
Quiet but fairly noisy on top spin
Cheaply made, door catch would not engage easily
Hated the spin dry on washer dryer feature, clothes were ruined
Liked
Nice design
Great programmes, with shorter options
Despite OOB fairly stable
Deep water levels
Intresting 2 stage fast spin
I should add that I only left the machine as I wanted to get a new one (for fun). I used the delay timer at times and occassionally the door did not engage and so the wash did not start. When I was busy this was a pain in the neck.
My new flat had a Whirlpool already there, which I later replaced with the Zanni.
Good luck with your new machine, I'm sure you will like it!
