Hi all Remember that Zanussi S218T on Ebay, well I won it! Apologies to anyone else also bidding on it! It really is in mint condition and still has its induction motor. All seems well except the door which doesn't lock properly, one to look at me thinks! All in all a superb machine which my courier brought to me at 7.30 this morning. I've only tested a rinse and spin and done a few quick piccies. All a bit rushed I'm afraid. Before you all ask, I will be doing a video next week, with the full 400 to 800 spin. Take care all and enjoy Rob |

I'm wondering if those machine you show are hot-cold fill or cold-fill only... Would you like to post some pics of the inlet valves system, please? Thanks! Diomede |

"Remember that Zanussi S218T on Ebay, well I won it! Apologies to anyone else also bidding on it!" ???????????????????????????????????????? Thanks for the CASUAL response I feel MILES better now, Good to see you could respond to my email in person, tell you what..... I will buy local machines from now and wont inconvenience you in anyway by bidding on ebay. Sorted - much like how you percieve your effort to apologise to me here. You will notice that this message is directly addressed to you formally and not in your casual style to avoid any confusion whatsoever. Cheers Rob |

Rob (Aquarius 1984) I feel your mail above is very unfair and I can honestly say that I have not received any emails or texts from you at all in recent months. My casual apology was in case anyone had bid on this as well. Had someone wanted this I would have been more than happy to discuss and am not in the business of trying to outbid people who really want something. The ebay thread it appeared in showed no one was going to bid on this, so I thought why not have a go! I find this sort of public berating of people and making comments that cannot be unwritten, are not in the spirit of this forum. Personal differences should be taken outside. I'm sure this can be resolved but I repeat, I have received nothing at all in recent months from yourself and I can assure you that even if I reply late, I always reply. Now back on with the S218T |

Hi David thanks for your nice comments! I was actually feeling a bit sick about logging in this morning, about what might be written. Not very nice really, but I needn't have worried. Darren, I've just realised I left you off the above thread at 12.32. Thanks for your lovely email. I'm hoping to run a proper load tomorrow as my partner is out all day. You won't have to wait long, hopefully will be on youtube next week! Take care Rob |

This is the closest I can get to the instruction booklett. This machine thought has an extra prewash programme by the looks of the book. I wasn't sure what the Economy button did but I'm sure it reduces the water level. I will test it tonight. Rob CLICK HERE TO GO TO robm's LINK |

Hi Carl, lovely to hear from you, hope you are not feeling too unwell. Dan, also thanks for your comments, you have email. Everything you say is true this machine really does have lovely sounds. I made a film but it was no good. I've got a friend staying but when he leaves tomorrow I am going to make movies. May take a few days to get online though, but should be well before xmas. I want to be sure the quality can be the best it can be. In the meantime here are some more pics. Rob PS I left facebook because I was frustrated with it and my work blocked certain things so it hardly worked. So you may see one less friend on your profile/s. |
