Also I have been a bit naughty, i have hooked it up to hot instead of cold supply, for quite a few reasons,
1, My boiler is right above the washer 2, Most of the washes i do are 60 degrees, The one good thing about my boiler is i can switch the water to off so the machine will only fill with cold during rinses. Really impressed with the machine so far as nice high water levels which i wasnt expecting at all |

Gotta say, I do like that water level :).
Not sure about the 3hr32 wash time. I have a serious vendetta against washing machines that take too long lol. Was it really necessary to hook it up to hot water? I don't think it's going to make much difference to the performance, and your gas bill is going to rocket! Plus, if you have a wash on and want to go out, you can't cos you're having to wait for the rinses to turn the boiler off. Typical gay lad? OH that made me laugh! I've never tried to create washing for the sake of it...honest *halo* |

What can i say, i just like washers lol
I've got a White knight 7kg condensor dryer which has got to be the worst dryer they have ever made, first month i had it the engineer was out twice, was told i was using it too much. As for my boiler it can still be left on for heat etc its got a switch to control the hot water, can even set it at different temps, as of for the gas bill, its quicker and cheaper to fill the machine and i have noticed it knocked 40 mins off the wash time aswell. |

Well, the washer has been on non stop since 9am and its 11.30pm GMT and i can honestly say i am impressed with the machine so far. Its only a 1400 rpm spin but its A+AA rated, think someone mentioned on here that the bigger the drum the better the water extraction is. Last load for the night and thats me done :o)
Cheers guys for the feedback, first time i have ever posted pics on here, (only took just over 4 years) Robbie |

Hi mate.. Great little zannussi there you got there. I know they are great little workhorses and just go on and on. As for the rinses on my machhine, the normal seems to be 3 with the option of and extra rinse when the button is pressed. The only programme that does 2 rinses is the quick wash which takes 20 mins which i wont be using lol.... Liam: Hi mate Yeah its sad about the White knight condensor. I needed a condensor with it being used in the spare bedroom and my first choice was one of these as i have had white knight vented dryers in the past and they just go on and on but this one is awful. steamed windows, noisy and takes ages to dry. But i give anything a chance once. Soon to be replaced and i took out the 4 year warranty cos not sure of the make and with it being a direct drive motor i thought, oooohhhhh expensive if breaks lol Appnut: Its confirmed then, i deffo do bobloads then lol cheers bud, nice to see you back btw :o) |

Almost convinced its a rebadged Daewoo. one of the guys mentioned it on here and done a little bit of digging about o the net and its deffo daewoo, just have paid an extra £100 for it to be called swan but i am more than happy with it and its well built hardly any movement on spin and the whole of the machine is metal and not got a laminated top like most machines |
