just found this vid of an old 1988-1989ish FL811 dark grey panel zanussi spinning :)

amazing machine i really want one of these

But they look to be good videos of a great machine. I love the grey facias - My Uncle Steve had one of the grey facia ones when he first got married. How is your modern Zani anyway Kyle -still going strong? The modern ones are equal to the vintage ones for build quality and wash/rinse performance aint they? very reliable, good looking and overall fantastic pieces of kit for a very reasonable price, looking at the price of a basic one its amazing when you could do much worse too - they are the best. I am very intrigued as to how Lux machines kept the quality shown by the machines of the 80s but todays models sell at a much lower price. Rob

Its doing fine, Its 6 years and 2 months old now (Oct 01) it does have a scratchy sound to it turns sometimes but other than that its brilliant. I agree but the reason why its lasting so long is because my parents only use it once a week lol :) since i'm at uni my parents only wash their work clothes in it on a quick cottons 30 cycle lol
