some of you may remember a few months back about my nanny's electrolux being on its way out due to bad bearings....sadly after 4 consecutive washes on Saturday,
it gave up... on its final spin it sounded like a jet taking off sadly that was to be its (final) spin as it wheezed and grumbled i felt that was enough quite sad to see it that way after 9 years of use...the noise was unbelievable when it ramped up to 900 it was crystal clear in the garden with all doors and windows closed..it actually used to wake me up on a sunday morning haha... it will still work but i think its gone beyond it now...although i might power it up for a spin one last time for u guys and upload it to you tube...if you'd like me to that is anyway this saturday the new machine will be here. its a zanussi zwi1125. here is some pics of the old and one of the new.

Aw :( sad to hear that... genuinely thought the case was otherwise with the 6kilo models. How about the ZWF12070? Would be interesting to see... Thanks Tom, Jon | ||

That's a disappointment then :( - I guess there must be some Service Force engineers out there who still don't know that! Jon | ||

They have lessened quality slightly. Hasnt everyone? Even miele! *cough*. They said this with the XC machines because many failed with dodgy electronics after 2years. But there are many still alive and kicking 8-9years on. including my mums AEG based upon the same design! I'd quite like a Zan XC to add to the line up now i have my own garage.
My zanussi zwf12070G1 has given me no complaints. Washing for four of us. Now she resides on a parttime schedule in the garage with the rest of my collection while the LG takes the daily duty. Which is superb. I had to wonder what was to be achieved by changing from the tried and tested unique to elux split cabinet design. It was very very good for access upon repairing. My wdt1085 washer dryer has this design and still has its repart of the cabinet removed while i contemplate a bearing replacement some months after i bought it! Also i've aqquired a brand new beko from my dad as a gift that was intended for one of his rental propertys but hes sold the business and said i could have it. Darren | ||

well the old e-lux is gone :( but the new zanussi is in :) i quite like it with the super quick option enabled on cottons 40 it reduces the wash time from 2 hours to about an hour..which is quite good... it does 5 rinses with extra rinse enabled...and is very very quiet.... i have done a vid of the E-lux spining before it was taken away ill upload it sometime this week as im maxed out with all the college work i have to do :(

Reviving a Dead Thread.... Zanussi Is Knackard
Well the Zanussi is almost ready to give up, 4 Years later and the Bearings are shot. the noise of it on saturday was unbelievable, i was shocked to turn the drum and hear the horrid rumble couldnt believe a machine this young would be having bearing failure especially seen as its only used about 3 times a week.
shows how the Zanussi Quality has really gone down the drain. Looking around at new machines to replace it, has anyone got any suggestions, something costing no more than 500. | ||

Hi, I have a Whielpool AWO/C 7714 and its a brilliant machine! Search my username in YouTube and some videos should come up. :) If you have any questions I'll do my best to answer. :) | ||

Oh btw, that Whirlpool in the picture is not the 7714. It's the 0714 which is very similar but the 7714 is slightly updated with a few more programmes and the Colours 15 option, | ||

I was in store today looking at some machines and ive narrowed it down to these two.
Indesit - IWME147 (pictured is the IWME146...147 just has 7KG drum and woolmark platinum care wash) Whirlpool - AWO/C 0714 Both machines feel well built and ive hear some horror storys about some whirlpool machines lately so not to sure... The Indesit machines seem to be ok..havmt hear anyone complaine about them so im not too sure which one to go for. | ||
