Yeah its a great shame AEG arent made in Germany anymore, I hope their standards dont start to slip like Zanussi's have dramatically in my case!

I too think its strange that they have the same control board but do completley diffrent things LOL! I was watching a video of an AEG not so long ago and the Control Board/PCB was making exactly the same sounds as my Zanussi one used to LOL!

Amazing how they can be adapted to suit diffrent washers isnt it!?

Yeah it is. Which means my machine isn't truely German, even though it was made in Germany, it is more Italian than anything else.

The spin sequence on AEG and Zanussi is the same though!

Zanussi's are generally good so you must have been unlucky with your machine. If the quality of Zanussi was to go down, so would the AEG as they share the same components, thou one or two things may be different, like my AEG having terrible quality suspension legs whereas the Zanussi has higher quality ones.
 
Yeah thats really strange, from the way mine jumped around I thought it was the opposite where the suspension legs were concerned LOL!

Though I read somewhere, not too sure if it was on here or not that AEG's have been being made in Italy, but the parts in Germany for years so I suppose it was a sign really that they were going to end up being made fully in Italy which is a shame!

I always liked it when AEG's king of stood out of the crowd from Zanussi's, but now you can see so many simularities in them from how they look, and now even how they work!" :( For example my Cousins AEG, which is almost a TOL model, has the weight sensor on display e.t.c has the exact same spin sequence as my Zanussi!

Samsungfl For years its been AEG's made in Germany and the parts made in Italy and shipped to Germany for assembly. It only was the AEG Washer driers that were made in Italy and these never said MADE IN GERMANY like the washers once did. Of course the washers no longer say MADE IN GERMANY. Lucky mine does though.

My machine in the brochure says it has Fuzzy Logic but I really don't think it has this at all, but theres no way of telling.

My AEG fills with a small bit of water then tumbles slowly for 30 seconds and then fills with water, don't know if this is part of the Fuzzy logic process? did ur Zanussi do this?

I think its a shame when a brand loses its identity. Like Hoypoint with Indesit, Bauknecjt with Whirlpool, AEG with Electrolux etc etc.

The only truely uniqe is Miele.
 
My Zanussi never did anything like that LOL! AEG's have always seemed to me more complex like that! My Zanussi was very basic, didnt change anything throughout the cycle regardless of the load size or anything!

So for example on a full load 6kg load of towels, for the rinse again for example, it would fill without tumbling to the bottom rim of the drum, then start tumbling - and of course all the water would be absorbed and the machine wouldnt re-fill, like I say the water level would drop below the holes in the drum so there was only enough water in there to run the pump!

Quite appauling I think! Aeg's always seem very diffrent towards things like this and do it properly! Because Im all for saving water, but when theres actually no water in the drum and a Jetsystem spraying out soapy water over the clothes during rinse, it kind of turns you "anti jetsystem" LOL!

Hope this helps!

That's quite poor for the Zanussi to be like that. I'm so surprised I honestly thought it was the same as the AEG. My 1996 Indesit used to fill and then start tumbling onc filled up, the water level would drop but the machine was quite sesivtive and always compensate with more water if required, but it hardly re filled with more.

My AEG never re fills with more water een if you see the water jet struggling, only when washing duvets, does the machine fill with some more water if the level gets way, waaayy too low.

The only part my AEG does not do distribution fills is when its only final rinse cycle with the fabric conditioner, it fills and tumles as normal. The fabric conditioner part always fills with water EVERY time the machine fills with water, this has been investigated by an engineer but still happens. So best for me to put in fabric conditioner just before the final rinse cycle.

Also no distribution fills when on quick cycle.
 
Low water levels on rinses.

Maybe a redesign of washing machines is in order.

We know that fabric conditioner suppresses suds, so why not design a machine with an automated dispenser that injects a small/tiny amount of conditioner in every rinse, rather than simply adding a larger amount in the final rinse.

The suppression of foam would allow jetsystem features to work more effectively, and prevent a mountain of foam during rinse-spins and inter-rinse spinning.

Alternatively, detergents could be better formulated, using surfactants less likely to foam up. If they can do it for dishwasher detergents, they can do it for laundry detergents.
 
Thats strange about your AEG filling up through the fabric conditioner dispenser everytime it fills! I always think its quite poor that they only re-fill with more water if the Jetsystem is struggling, because that means there is literally no water left in the machine, which is why I'd never go for another Zanussi, or AEG because I think theyve changed too much!

Rolls Rapide - yeah thats an intresting concept, to add a small amount of softener to each rinse! I'd imagine it to be quite effective as well as the smallest amount of it supresses foam quite a bit! You never know, maybe one day a manufactuter will produce a machine with that function!!

Should you ever worry about your Hoover making funny noises

Heres a clip of Candy machine (Guys who make Hoover) this machines motor sounds real rough but this is the kind of noise my old Servis used to make. Awful.

 
That one sounds so terrible! I'd definatley get a replacement if mine ever sounded like that!!! It sounds like a police car siren when it goes up to distribution speed LOL! My Bosch Maxx sometimes used to go like that!

By the way, I always thought it was the other way round, that Hoover make Candy, not that it botheres me either way I just went on what the engineer said that its Hoover Candy, not Candy Hoover?!

Also I may as well update you on how the Hoover Vision is doing! :D, - I must say its been amazing latley, the motor on it never whines anymore unless its going at about 300rpm or higher and even then its fairy low pitched so im quite happy! :D:D Hasnt missed a beat considering the usage its been getting hehe :D

Richard
 
LOL Samsunfl U got it round the wrong way. Yes its called HooverCandy because Hoover is much more known brand than Candy SPA is.

Its Candy who owns Hoover, I thought u would have known that. this has been since the middle 90s. Your machine is basically a Candy Grand0 machine with the Hoover badge put on it.

Which is probably why I can see that manufacturing will soon all be in Italy. As ur machine is made in Italy in Candy factory.
 
Cool thats a bit of good information, I didnt know that I just thought it was the other way because of the name!

Just to inform you though the Hoover VisionHD's are a fair bit diffrent to the Candy Granado's, after having used one a short while back theres quite alot of diffrences on them, so its not just a case that my machines a Granado with a Hoover badge on LOL :)!!!

Richard
 
Yes but the parts are near identical, have you taken a look inside the machine.

These are very similar machines and your machine is a Candy design. True Hoover disappeared years ago.
 
Ive only seen the inside of my machine, which was in fact quite suprising! But from what they sound like you wouldnt think there simular machines, made from simular parts if you know what I mean. I agree yeah true Hoover went years ago but to say they are basically candy machines is a tad careless I think... Fair enough I agree they are Candys designs but they have been adapted and changed, therefore making the Candys diffrent from the Hoovers and vise vera LOL! Simular to how AEG and Zanussi are.

The Candy machine i used sounded quite simular to the Candy in the video below, but the tone of it was slightly lower LOL

 
I cant because the only time i saw the inards of it was when the engineer was inspecting it, and I do not intend on taking the lid of myself, but I can explain what I saw as well as I can...
 
Ok then. I will also post a pic of my AEG Lavamt when I get to inside of it thou its very similar to the Zanussi anyway.
 
Cool, thats a good idea - I have a pic of the Zanussi with the lid off on my old computer so I will try and upload that asap, would be good to see the diffrence (if any lol)
 
Hiya! I have some pics now of my Zanussi with the top off e.t.c, however having trouble uploading them! :(, There only the same size as my normal pictures ive uploaded but it says their too big! :(

Any ideas on how to rectify this!?

Thanks
 
That looks so much like my AEG, the tub parts and the arrangements of them etc. I will need to pull my machine out sometime and take pics to upload.
