Hi guys, just thought i'd post a thread about these two washers, The Zanussi Zwf1431 (Current) and the Samsung B145s. Ive throughly used both of these washers and gotten to know there strengths and weaknesses. ive washed the same duvet in both washers. And thought it'd make an intrestin topic to compare how they handle them. Anyway here goes LOL. |

Yeah i agree with you there, the Samsung was increibly springy and moved to the slightest touch lol And as Dan correctly said (thanx :) it would hardly ever manage to spin., ill have to dig the video out where it refuses to spin one Dry T-shirt. Overall i think the Zanussi peformed better with the duvet as it seemedtumble it more effectivly and move it around the drum, rather than going around in a huge bll (as the Samsung did) anyway thats just my view lol. More comments welcome!!! :) Richard |

"Does anybody know if the Duvet cycle on John Lewis machines is similar?" No, it just fills through the main wash compartment and begins to tumble. Duvet Cycle 40°C 700 rpm 82 minutes 0.6 kWh 80 liters Both the "Stuffed Animals - ..." and the "Pillow - ..." vids (on page 2 of my Washing Machines Playlist) show the Duvet cycle.

Yes definitly an E'Lux!!! The distribution before spin is identical to that of mine and Richards, and the trusty light on the door...classic E'Lux style! |

Richard.... The shot of your Zanussi there is fantastic...the silver makes it look so...."designer" Mine may have the LCD display but looks such a poor relation in comparison! Pic below! |

I've overlooked some video's and it seems to me that the zanussi is spinning counterclockwise while mostly a frontloader spins clockwise or is this out of the question? |

Yeah - it was a large capacity... larger than the 6kg but really not that significant a difference in the scheme of things. Sorta like the difference between 5 and 6kg, if you know what I mean... Jon |

Personally I see the advantage of the 7kg drum on mine when it comes to standard loads but when it coms to single large items in my opinion the situation is indifferent. Saj |

Jon indeed you have a point in the fact that the paddles are for want of a better phrase "partially blanked" but on my example at least it's no big deal due to the widespread and thorough action of the jetsystem. |

sadose, I hope I didn’t come across as snappy in my previous message. :-) I wasn’t being nasty or anything. :-) Regards, Carl :-) |
