Well Well Well!!!!
Well I was going to pop a message on here but I have been prompted by Jon to say my piece as well so here goes...!
In my opinion modern Zanussi machines are constructed in a much more methodical and effective fashion than their equivalent plasticky BSH counterparts. I have now flown the nest so I am not in constant contact with the machine as I have my lovely and loud Hoover Nextra to play with. Talking of which is not a bad machine and compares performance wise well with the Zanussi that my mother has, but there is clear evidence of a compromise made in quality.
Jon: I've said this before and I'll say it again...I think you will be pleased with the performance and ruggedness of the Zanussi. Mum has had one problem with hers in 8 months (roughly 1250 washes) with the power cord which was put right in 5 minutes.
The main clincher for buying a Zanussi in the first place for us was it's flexible and very efficient rinsing which I yearned for after owning a Hotpoint Aquarius 1300 (Merloni made) for 9 months which frankly left a lot to be desired, I was grateful the machine started putting holes in laundry, a damn good excuse to part company with it.
All in all I find modern Zanussi machines to be extremely efficient and well made for the price and I now look forward to seeing how long my mother's machine will last doing 6-8 loads a day. Our bosch managed 2 and half years with 14 call outs from the engineer so my comparison will be based on that.
