Washing Pillow Case & Sheets advice

Sorry if that sounds too blunt.

Doesnt at all Alex, I bet when used on the correct programme the results will be different, have been using my sisters ZWD14279W1 washer dryer and there is deffo a difference with higher water levels, slower agitation and rinses on synthetics..

Hi Emmanuel, have been using a faghore washer dryer FWD612 6kg 1200rpm, usually wash 2 large duvet covers (Poly Cotton) when used on cottons I get excess creasing and when on synthetics less......recently have been using a classic Servis Quartz 4.5 kg drum, was in a rush so stuffed both in expected creasing but thought as its raining the dryer will drop the creases....well with the higher water levels they where washed better and with hardly any creases....just goes to show - play with the variables and you get different results...so raise that water level (correct programme for fabric with extra rinse) and see what happens, do let us know how you get on!!!

I agree Superelectronic. As I know other machines out there can cope, it's up to me to find It. I'll wait until the 12 month warranty is over then I'll consider my options.

Thanks.

I fully understand the frustration of having a machine you don't really get along with. It's so difficult to pick a new machine that operates the way you'd like it to. There's always some kind of compromise to be made: a "good" washer can be endlessly reliable but do terrible things to your clothes or irritate the life out of you; likewise, a "bad" washer can produce fantastic washing but be a headache to keep running!

 

You'll have to start a list of how you want your new washer to wash, then somehow try and match a new purchase accordingly.

 

It's worth bearing in mind that Cottons 60C is going to be intense programme whatever machine you pick - after all, it's normally the cycle performance standards are measured against - so it may be wise to look for something that allows you to modify the cycle (e.g. run with higher level rinses, tone down the spin etc).

 

I wish I was in more of a position to chop and change (or even try) machines!

 

Of course, if you do fancy venturing into the realm of alternative programmes on the Zanussi, do let us know if it makes a difference. If it doesn't, you have further amunition to say the machine's a wrong'un and best avoided! Not that we're going to twist your arm or anything....

Don't know what to suggest, other than maybe trying to get your hands on a good old reliable second hand vintage machine that's not afraid of consuming alot of water.
