We moved to our new house in December 1998 & we needed a new washing machine as the old one just died on me. So in the next week I started looking for one. The Zanussi FJS 1225 W caught my eye. It had a large door that opened very wide, delay timer which was great, hand wash fucntion, delicate wash, wool wash & a 1200rpm spin.

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
