Zanussi FJS1225W

We bought our Zanussi FJS1225W in 2001 from Alders . We purchased a 5 year extended warranty from Alders which thankfully, as that company no longer exsist ,we did not need . The first problem we have had with this machine has been in 2006 when the warranty had expired . We called out a local firm who only charged us £25 to sort it out . We live in a very hard water area and that fact , along with my choice of powder, had resulted in a blockage . The machine outlets and outside of the drum were caked in lime and powder residue . Considering the amount of wear the machine has had I didn't think that was too bad . I use it just about everyday ...  Read the complete review

Come to my house and do your washing for a frightening experience I used to say. My 6-year-old Hotpoint Automatic was a noisy beggar. From day one it rattled and banged and the vibrations could be felt throughout the house. So strongly that books and ornaments fell off shelves and my cast iron pans jumped off the hooks on their wooden rack. I would often find that the washer had moved up to a foot away from it's housing and I had to repair my sink unit door because of the bashing it took from the washer. I was advised to alter the balance by twiddling something around on the feet, that helped a bit but not for long. My mother advised me to sit on it but the ...  Read the complete review

I bought one of these in January 2001, and so far I'm fairly pleased with it, though obviously it's still early to pass judgement completely. The FJS1225W has a delay start feature, which I like, because I can load in in the evening and delay the start to early the folowing morning, when I may have the energy to put the clothes on the line. The machine is generally pleasant to use and has a nice big door instead of a little porthole, as on my previous Hoover. BUT - and this is a big but - on two occasions that my wife has washed her bras in it, it has chewed them up completely, so that the bra wire has come out and stuck in the holes in the drum. Is this a common ...  Read the complete review

We bought our Zanussi washing machine in October 2001, we bought it from John Lewis (formally known as Jessops) for £329. We previously had a Whirlpool washing machine which was 10 years old and needed replacing because it started ripping the clothes. We have had our Zanussi FJS1225W for nearly 2 years now and it is excellent. It washes and spins the clothes brilliantly. This machine has a wash system called Jetsystem, this showers the clothes instead of bathing them giving excellent results. It has a 1200rpm spin speed (our whirlpool only had a 800rpm spin speed) which is a lot quicker than our old machine. Also you only need to only hook it up to a cold water ...  Read the complete review

We brought this digital washing machine over 3 years ago & its never let me down yet. It is a front loading white washing machine with a weight capacity of 5.99g and a maximum spin speed of 1200rpm, though you can set the spin speed to be less than this if needed. Overall dimensions of this machine are 85cmhigh x60cmwide x60cmdeep and has six different wash presets. Comes with a digital clock on the front which counts down how much time your wash cycle has left before finishing. Only downside is that is quite noisy during the final spin of a wash though this only lasts for around 3/4 minutes and i also found the powder drawer quite tricky to clean. It was brought for ...  Read the complete review
