The above machine is an FL1032. Introduced in 1990, it was one of the first models to be built to the 'Nexus' design. Tom. |

Here we have the FL1032's predecessor the FL1016. Built from 1989 to 1990 this was one of the last models to be built with the old drum and solid tub construction. Spin speed was 1000rpm. |

No it isnt the FJ1033 because it doesnt have Jetsystem and it just has the standard Zanussi push in and turn dial.I dont know if that model has a matching dryer or not. |

My Mum had a Zanussi Washcraft for years and years and later a Jet System (see link). I don't remember the washcraft much but the Jet System was a fantastic machine. We had it 11 years until the bearings went and it was replaced.

I honestly couldn't say. We got rid of the Washcraft in 1993 (I was 3) and replaced it with a useless Electra thing which I remember being awful. The Jet System came in '96 and was the first washing machine I had that I really noticed the results and started taking notice of the features of the machine, build and performance - rather than just watching it go round and round as a kid.

Hi Chris, does it change the spin pattern (variomatic/pulse spin) ? Definately the Zannies have ever been the best italian made washers, along with the real Philco-Bendix |

Our next door neighbor has the FLE 1115 W Aquacycle 1100.It is a good washer but once they washed bath-mats on their own, the washer kept on balancing and balancing until it finally give up and nearly ripped the floor up! |

There were 3 possible Electra options you could of had in 1993. Hotpoint, in the Creda style. Servis, (Quartz) there may have been backstock held by independants which gradually sold through especially if it had been unpopular in an area Servis (Merloni) made machines bearing the Electra badge, SO it may not have been a Hotpoint by all accounts :) |

It looked like a Creda. It had 2 dials on the right hand side - a delay timer and a program dial...and about 4 square buttons in the middle, with the push in/pull out dial operation. And it was a 1200 spin. It was all white but I remember there was also a model that had a dark grey door and control pannel and no delay timer.

It was horrid. We had trouble with it from day 1. First, the delivery men forgot to take the travel brackets out of it. Then the door lock went, then the pump went, then the outer drum bit started waring away at the back and we had to have all that replaced. When the motor went on it, my mum decided just to sod it and get a new one.

haha ive had a whirlpool aqualine 1300 that used to jump and hit the glass with sparks. the hoover electra 1100f (hoovie) iit used to jump all the time but since i was silly and put in a bath mat on its own it ripped its right suspension leg and the thing on the end of the leg completely off. so now when its severly OOB it doesnt jump it just pulls its self out of its suspension and i have to rush to it tipp it upside down and put it all back together again haha. and mums jetsystem everynow and then it jumps a couple of times and gets on with it but it nerly never does it. its just a loud helicopter noise i wana replace the suspension so it would live up to its name "super silent". the worst ive had is the whirlpool by far. i miss it Josh xx |

and this type of machine let to the Zanussi Input machines from 1997, which looked like the Small Door Electronic XC washer dryers, only the control panal was on top, so it stopped people bending down to set the machine it had a special function, where you could save 3 of your most used programmes for future use. these machines let to the development of the IZ washer and the XC Jetsystem/Aquacycle machines from 2000-2002 with the evolution of the XC to XC6 to the timeline series from 2004-2006 |

I haven't seen an input in action, but i remember seeing them in a 1997 zanussi brochure They had a Zanussi FDJ1500 washer dryer on absolutely fabulous after they remodelled the kitchen, this was after 1995 (series 3) pre 1995 , they had Darrens washer (FJ1033) on the first episode, and a FL series washer with 2 dials which was swopped round on several episodes in the first and second series. in the first episode they had an early 90s slim line zanussi dishwasher next to the washer. |

NorthernSouthern: Zanussi are very much alive! They are apart of the electrolux group! I'm a proud owner of the current a model from the current line up which i'm delighted with! They became apart of the electrolux group in the early 80s! And are my favourite brand ever! There is alot of talk about there old machines as they were absalutely brilliant, reliable great styled machines! Darren |

The "food chain" if you like is now Zanussi, AEG & Electrolux is the flagship brand! The prices of electrolux models reflect there aim for it to be a top of the range brand with top of the range features. Tricity bendix is not avaliable as a brand for much longer though they are still kicking around. Darren |
