I don't even know how long our Electrolux would balance before it either spins or just advances. It did happen, however, that the washer counted down to one minute remaining (on final spin) when it couldn't balance. At this point, the timer stopped and balancing continued. Overall, our washer does an okay job balancing, but it can also happen that it vibrates so hard that bottles etc. are all over the place after the spin cycle... I think the shocks could be a little stronger 'cause the drum can bounce quite a lot at times. CLICK HERE TO GO TO logixx's LINK |

Wow Logix that looks so bad. Is there something wrong with the suspension on that machine or is ths suspension very soft? The drum is rocking so much lol |

The Westinghouse balances reasonably well, but I think that the suspension is 'soft' on these Electrolux/Zanussi built machines. Sometimes with a full load ours 'creaks' every now and then, but when I have told people about it, they think I am mad... New suspension will cost a minimum of $250 including parts and for a machine I paid less than USD$385 (incl tax) over 3yrs ago, I am not going to bother ESPECIALLY given it isn't constant...and even with the occassional creak it ALWAYS spins properly. |
