Zanussi Origins.....
As aeg03 said, it's predominantly the ZWG1140M Zanussi machine (see link below) that's manufactured outside of the EU & i don't think it's badged as Flexi-Dose. It seems to be a well-performing machine too, from what owners reviews say.
I wasn't aware that any other Zanussi's were made outside of the EU but if people have experience of that being the case then i guess this means it's worthwhile checking the label inside the door. Usually on Zanussi machines it states 'Made in EU' so if it doesn't then that might be a hint that it's Chinese model. Either way, there's no suggestion yet that the current range are any less durable than the previous 'Essential' badged machines, such as the Spanish-built one my Parents have owned since late 2007. On Flexi-Dose (but not Jetsystem) machines the pump is mounted on the outer tub which appears to be a cost-cutting measure, but pump failure on all modern machines seems alot less likely than bearing & electronic failure, so i wouldn't be overly concerned. As mentioned, many brands share the same durable drain pumps anyway.
At the current reasonable prices it's probably worth spending the extra on a Jetsystem as it does without the quirky new filter in the drum & appears to have less modifications than the Flexi-Dose models, but in any case i'd be fairly confident that whilst some Hoover/Candy owners are highly satisfied with their machines, Zanussi's products still appear to please more people more of the time & can cost less to purchase too.
With that in mind the odds to begin to stack against Hoover-Candy for all but the most loyal customers.

Paulinroyton is correct, his LG is made in China. I wanted this model but didn't have enough for it at Christmas. Great machines.

Hi Darren.
It was my Mums machine, but only noticed the rating plate the other day. Good machine though, very quiet.
Manage to see the AEG which I hated.

I think the TOL ones are stunning in black. Hence I bought one. Now my Ex is having the pleasure of its use!!
I don't think the BOL ones are too pretty minus the chrome door.

LG F1479FDS5
It says Made in Korea on ours. I like the look of LG washing machines, well it sure does make a statement in the kitchen!
The chrome door isn't available anymore on the steam washing machines as they have the door with the black tint.

April Fools Joke
I think the joke is calling it a "Fully Automatic Washing Machine".
They could just as easily have called it an "Automatic Washing Machine", which would make it distinguishable compared to, say, a "Semi-automatic Washing Machine" (i.e. a twin-tub).
With "Fully...", I expect the machine to load itself, dose the detergent, wash, rinse, spin, dry, iron, fold, place in wardrobe/cupboard/chest-of-drawers, clean the dishes, put the bin out, wash the floor, and feed the cat.

Not Happy.....
I'd not be happy with buying a Chinese (or even Korean) made appliance given the current global situation. So much of the products we buy are made in China (Clothes, TV's, Kitchen appliances) & it doesn't sit comfortably with me to buy so much from one Country, especially given how much China (and India & Korea) seems to be booming while Europe goes bust.
There's a whole World out there, so in the absence of being able to support the UK appliance sector (as we don't make washers here anymore) i'd want to at least support European jobs.
Ofcourse if you're in the market for an Oven, Fridge-Freezer or Tumble Dryer then you can buy British-Made:
*Ovens - Stoves/Belling (Glen Dimplex Home Appliances, Prescot, Merseyside)
*Fridge/Freezers - Lec (Glen Dimplex Home Appliances, Prescot, Merseyside)
*Tumble Dryers - White Knight (Crosslee PLC, Halifax, West Yorkshire)
I'll certainly be buying from at least one of these manufacturers when i get my next house. It's just a shame that no washers are British-Made.

Don't think Lec refrigeration are made here in the Uk, aren't most of them made by Haier for Glen Dimplex in China.
