Advantages: Good value all rounder

Disadvantages: Ask me again in 3 years!

My old, but trusty washing machine broke down for the last time recently, and I was faced with a wide range of choices for its replacement.
My fridge freezer is a Zanussi make, and has always been fine, a friend has a ten year old Zanussi washing machine that still runs perfectly, so it seemed to fit that I should choose this particular make for the new addition in my kitchen.
Wanting a fast spin, this model is a 1600, in the abscence of a tumble dryer, i have not been disappointed by the machines power and ability to wring the clothes without creasing the more delicate or heavy items. The machine is also quieter than expected, and i have forgotton on occaision that it is on.
Perhaps another of its best features is its time delay system, meaning that you can set the devise for running at night time when electricity rates are lower ,or first thing in the morning for optimum freshness.
This model offers a 95 degree wash which is great for work clothes, and incorporates a drum easily large enough to fit a single duvet.
The control panel is simple to use with a guide layout on the left and a dial on the right.
The filter is easily accessable and the drawer simple to remove and clean. It also comes with a standard two year guarantee, which is great as most models only have one.
It is worth shopping around as some places deliver for free and the price can range from £239-269. Kitchen Science are offering it for £245 with free delivery, John Lewis £249 with free delivery.

Summary: My opinion is that this is a family friendly washing machine, easy to use with good results.
