Advantages: stable, quiet

Disadvantages: knots up trouser legs, sleeves. low temp washes only available for 1/2 loads

after 5 years my bearing has also gone and, after reading the review, I don't think I will be able to have it fixed. Also annoying, the lower temperature washes and quick washes are only for half loads and all programmes tangle trouser legs and sleeves so that they come out knotted round everything else. I am very disappointed as my previous zanussi gave me at least 12 years of good service. To be able to write some good points I will say that it was very quiet( until the bearing went) and never moved a fraction when spinning, also there have not been any mechanical faults or break downs until now and, I must admit, it is on most days.

Summary: not very good value after 5 years
