Zanussi
James
Zanussi machines were made in Italy. If the price is right go for it. There are others who know the brand better than I into the later 1980s, but if it were a 218T or 918 these have a reputation for lasting well, my own mothers 218t was stil going strong at 17 years old - still could be for all I know. If you check recent postings Matt In Dover's Electra GL2 (i think that is the model), manufactured by Zanussi was even older. And I think (Matchbox)Paul has at lease one Hotpoint which was manufactured by Zanussi, again of 1970s vintage. Parts should be relativly easily available if needed, Zanussis were very popular in Northern Ireland Al | ||

He says it's an early 80's machine. Washcraft or S-series I assume? James. | ||

Well, it's an S218T. In good condition with a manual. I'll get it over the next week or so. Is it a bottom of the range model or what? 800rpm I think? James | ||

S218T
Was my Uncle's trusty Zanussi for many years until it was replaced with a hideous diplomat (merloni servis) washer dryer without my knowledge!!
It was a fab machine with some very high water levels. You can't go wrong with an 80's Zanussi. They have been one of my favourites for many years and have owned a few in the last few years too :-) Darren

What gets me though... On a picture here of someone else's machine there appears to be no clutch attached to the induction motor. James. | ||
