Zanussi Compct Dishwasher

[chrisbsuk]

Some pictures of my compact dishwasher....

Full 65*c cycle takes approx 30 minutes, and it cleans just as well as full sized machines. Very surprised with it and impressed!

Two temp options
Salt refil indicator

Data sheet says it uses 9 litres of water per load...

Salt and Power lights -

Has a B for energy, B for washing and a D for drying...

basically there is no drying cycle - it drains the final hot rinse water, and the pump remains on for about 6 minutes as it regenerates the salt and then switches off
dishes will dry if you leave them over night, but i tend to open the door after the cycle has stopped

nice pics Chris. I used to have one of those. It was brill but couldn't cope in the end with all the dishes we produce these days so had to sell it on and get a full size machine. I've always recommeneded this machine to people looking for one as many other table top machines such as the Naiko/proline/ swan table top have awful problems with doors breaking and 6 months wait for parts to come from China. Go to planet Zanussi i say!

I only ended up buying it as i moved into a smaller place, and had no room for my full size Siemens machine.... you are right about not being able to cope with all the dishes... my solution seems to be to run it three times a day if needed!

Chris, thanks for the pics. I am very intrigued by this machine. I'd love to see some pics of the interior without any dishes in it as well as a variety of loads, since you're having to run it up to 3 times a day. I love the timer dial on the bottom right part of the front. Very 1950s KitchenAid. In fact some of the lines and styling kinda remind me of those early KA machines from here in the states.

no problem... ill take some pics in a moment.. it is running as it type

i could use it once a day if i only put plates and the like in - it has a 5 place setting capacity... i end up using it 3 times if i want to wash pots, pans etc...

I"m like you, can't stand to wash anything by hand. My mom was of the opinion, if it can't go in the dishwasher, don't use it. She had a couple of rare exceptions, but her china and crystal even went in.

Chris, I went to teh Zanussi web site and couldn't find your model with the timer dial on the bottom right. Looked at table top & compact ranges.

 

[chrisbsuk]

it is model number ZSf 2400

Bob - that compact Zanussi dishwasher is now discontinued, there's an electronic version that has taken it's place.

thanks for answering that

Thanks Jon. What a bummer, I really liked the retro look.

Interesting little machine-

Thank you for posting!

Bob, I agree. Someone on another board I contribute to once asked me if I washed anything by hand, and I said that the only things I wash by hand are my hands!
