My AEG LAVAMAT 72640 has a water jet in it, it has been fine for 5 and half years. Only thing is that it has always been a bit noisy in use, it has never clogged. I thought the design was universal across the AEG Zanussi Electrolux range. |

I`ve had an AEG with a water jet before I got my Miele and I hated it. Thanks to many other repairs I could return it to the dealer. The recirculation pump never clogged but when I used powders it always sprayed undissolved powder onto the wash in the first rinse. The other thing I didn`t like was the imagination what might happen to the water remaining in the pump or sump if I don`t wash every day and even I have to use low temps every now and then. Ok someone could argue a dishwasher is just about the same. But usually a dishwasher heats to a sanitizing temperature even in an Eco50° programe. I think in an American toploader a recirculation pump might be justified to remove lint, but in a frontloader I find them absolutely unnecessary and unsanitary. |

I like the jetsystem, the only flaw being it does dump suds onto the rinse. The jet on my mums AEG has never gone wrong in the entire time we've had it. My zanussi fj1033 jet is good as it showers through the paddles and over the rim of the drum. which is great for absorbtion. I have to agree that it does help with getting the load wet quicker when washing bulky loads! Darren |

... Was one of dissapointment unfortunatley, was very happy with it for a month or two because I wasnt used to the technology of it, but then I started realising that It made rinsing much harder because the jetsystem seemed to create suds because of the power of it which was a shame! Also im not too sure if anyone else has noticed this but white laundry always seemed to come out discoloured and I believe this was due to the hot dirty water being constantly powered at the laundry through the jetsystem! To sum up I think the Jetsystem is a good idea but needs some more thought in its design so it can give good results :) Richard |

Read somewhere ages ago, that once front loaders begin using water levels in ratio to pounds of laundry being washed, below a certian point, some sort of forced circulation system is needed to ensure proper results. IMHO adding yet another system is one more thing that can go wrong to a front loader. There are some large commercial front loaders that use injector water systems, but most always the hose/spray comes through the portal window on the front. |

the recirculating pumps make possible that slightly more efficient heating design? The water is forced through a rather small tube with the heating coil wrapped directly around it? I seem to recall that was one of the reasons for this design. Eliminates/minimizes much of the scale build up problem and permits the use of less water. I suppose, in the end, you just have to check your laundry over extra thoroughly. A pain, esp. if you have grown up with the Hoovers which would forgive just about any sin. |

I think its more poor design than being un lucky personally, my Zanussi Jetsystem machine from 2006 suffered problems like that, small things would clog it up and make the water just trickle out of the jetsystem occasionally, or things would get stuck in the jetsystem opening in the door seal, this was the Jetsystem that wasnt around for very long, the yellow one with the 3 spray jet angle thing, or what ever they called it LOL! Maybe that design wasnt around for very long because it wasnt very reliable? Richard |

Iīm really sure about that, it does not do spin rinses! Mine is maybe of an other era, with the square silver knobs, out of the same era the washer on the pic above is. |

AEG03, I too wanted to know weather new ones did the spin-rinse like our machines, but alas as far as i'm aware, they don't. Hopefully they replaced this with some more water! Im lookin to exchange my hotpoint for another zanussi or the new stainless steel aeg washer in the not so distant future! Darren |

Is this going to be the new stainless steel AEG?!?!?!??!?!? The UK seems to be the only one without this new style of AEG washers. |

Tom, My fj1033 i've just aquirred is in our tin shed outside on ceramic tiles, it doesn't shift at all on spin, i was expectin a bit of a difference from my solid drum zanussi w/d. Ahh im not insane then, i thought those zanussis span in the wash! Was it really every few minutes? I heard a rumour this only happened when the heavy soil button was pressed? Darren |

On this PDF file you can see the timer chart for the WD3000T. Note where it says: "Includes Short Spin Of Maximum 400rpm Every Two Mins" in the key. I really wasn't imagining things! CLICK HERE TO GO TO hotpoint9534's LINK |

I wonder if it inspired the Indesit Moon designers ? My grandmother had the machine pictured in the post above (Black door Electrolux) it lasted years! Were they all JetSystem ? |

I think you pulled out the programme selection knob to start them, not the temp knob. Many washers in the 1970s / 80s used that method of starting. |

When the JetSystem first appeared it was quite a revolution, no other manufacturer could reduce the consumption of water to the same level at the time.... The Spin Wash was introduced following a lot of research about Laundry Methods and best practice for best results....one of the key elements for introducing it was the reliability and effect of spinning soapy water out of clothes like TwinTubs etc.... Think about it four mins of washtime, then spin all that hot soapy water out of the clothes!!!, that action probably moved any stains etc that the previous washtime did not... I do like the AEG with Directa Jet, never had any complaints about them blocking though!!!as with anything a lot of components are just reduced down in cost now until they fail and are thrown/replaced... |

Only the high end models had Jetsystem (if it did spins in the wash it would have Jetsystem), the basic models such as the WH818 had an induction motor and very similar timer to my Z9191T. Tom |
