isn't this the machine that the Tricity Bendix AW851 was based on, with the 2 buttons and pull out dial

Did it clean well? Also, when was it built?


Thanks!

I think the Delta was the basic machine from when the Nexus badged machines first came out, with white control panels with coloured stripes on the option buttons.

Think it was something like:

Delta (base model)
Nexus (a few more options & faster spin)
Quick 'n' Clean (variable soil control)
Jetsystem (high spec)

There were higher spec Directa machines aswell, as i found out yesterday.

FL1012...

 Yes i think thats how it went.However, Zanussi released a very basic Nexus machine. It spun at 800rpm and One button.

Ah ok, cheers.

I know they later dropped the Nexus and Delta and went to an Aquacycle, Quick N Clean & Jetsystem Excel line up. A Sensorcycle also appeared, possibly replacing the Delta as a base model?

Post# 370338 , Reply# 8   8/7/2009 at 16:30 (5,374 days old) by hooverkeymatic (England)        

I think the Sensor cycle was a version of the AquaCycle (I am not certain).

Post# 370356 , Reply# 9   8/7/2009 at 18:40 (5,373 days old) by fl1012 ()        

It did have 'Sensorcycle' written in the same place as where 'Aquacycle', 'Jetsystem' etc were written though, which made me think it was like a specification level all of its own.

Post# 370420 , Reply# 10   8/8/2009 at 03:18 (5,373 days old) by hooverkeymatic (England)        

It could be.It still spun at 1000-1200rpm and took a capacity of 4.5-5kg so you may be right.

Hooverkeymatic: your right they did a 1000 and 1200rpm

Auto half load was its key feature and looked like the 1000rpm jetsystems from 93/94 heres a pic!

There were on the same sort of level as the Aquacycles.

The drum looks slightly different to other Zanussis of this age, the paddles look metal rather than plastic, were they?

It looks very little used tho, with all the stickers on the door handle & glass. A nice simple looking machine.

Looks like it uses an adequate amount of water too, unlike todays Zanussis - my parents 2007 Essential is most infuriating to watch, with it's puddle of water in the drum! :-(

it had steel padles, and i reckon it got a good bit of use, the bearings are starting to go it it. yes it did use a good amount of water and even though it was only 800rpm it spun the cloths quite well. yes i was thinking about the drum ive never seen that style of drum in a zanussi before.

Post# 371319 , Reply# 22   8/11/2009 at 18:51 (5,369 days old) by fl1012 ()        

Yeh, i wonder if it's had the drum replaced at some point. Even the back of it doesn't look like a Zanussi drum. Weird!

Shame about the bearings - i'd never have known it'd had alot of use from the photos - the outside seems to have worn really well.

Ive noticed how good the older machines are at spinning aswell actually - i just plumbed in my FL1012 today, and although it's only 1000 spin compared to Mums Zanussi Essential with 1400 spin, the clothes actually feel drier in my machine!

The drum

 It's got the Tricity Bendix drum, fascia and door. I'm guessing since this is a BOL machine it shares the same parts as the Tricity Bendix machines (which was the BOL brand from electrolux at the time)

I haven't seen one before. I wonder if this machine was designed for the Continental and Irish market and not sold in Britain?

FL882

 These models were actually made in Spain and have nothing to do with Nexus models. They used the old wrap-around cabinet as found on 80s Zanussis. The give away is the rectangular filter door. The only difference is that the cabinet has been made slightly more rounded to make it look more 'modern'.

These were the bottom of the line machines, the drum is the original (metal paddles) and similar to those found in many Tricity Bendix machines. The outer tub is plastic, the older vitreous enamel tubs having become too expensive to produce. The dispenser and other internal parts are the same as older 80s Zanussis, and probably a way of using up older parts.

Have a look at the link below showing the exploded parts diagrams, you'll see what I mean about the internals being similar to older machines (except the drum).

Hope this has been of some help,
Tom.

i always thought they were based on 80s machines

 zanussi_lover's profile picture
i wonder if the delta is a copy of this

the FL812, it looks like the same machine, only the FL812 had more programmes, it went to programme W, and the delta only goes to Letter N or P.

they look very similar as they both have small portholes

Kyle,
Your correct the delta is based on the traditional machines as are the old tricity bendix machines! They operate vvvvv similar!!

Hi Zanussi Lover,

No, Not the same as the above machine, the FL882 was one of the first change over machines, from the solid cabinet to the split cabinet design.

Interestingly the FL882 from 1996 had the solid cabinet but still had the Carboran splittable drum.( so image what doing a bearing job is like when you cant split the cabinet!, bloody hard!).

Hi Bertrum,

Do you have any idea why a different inner drum was used on these, despite the carboran tub?

Tom

Post# 371549 , Reply# 29   8/12/2009 at 14:25 (5,369 days old) by bertrum ()        

Hi Tom,
This early inner drum was used on these solid cabinet machines before they changed to the split cabinet machines which had two different inner drum types that they used for years and years before the introduction of the IZ range which had a different carboran drum and cross piece.

Interestingly a latter range of solid cabinet machines was brought out about five years later and marketed under the Tricity Bendix range, (cant remember the model number). However this later machine had one of the later inner drums and cross pieces.

I used to work for service force when the first carboran tubs come out so i have changed a few hundred.

I am boring myself now talking about inner drums so logging off.

bye
Bertrum.
