Were once owned by Zanussi at one point but there is no signs of Electrolux on it and to my opingion it looks nice. The Zanussi studio though Timon has one Exactly the same but is an Electrolux. |

...why any of you would be surprised.
Electrolux have been building 'Zanussi' machines in Thailand for at least 3 years and importing them to Oz. It may even be longer. The only machines that we get that are made in Italy are, I believe, washer-dryers or top-end machines. Mind, Bosch do the same thing.... ...and Miele have a vacuum cleaner factory in China. |

It's a shame your relatives got rid of the FJS 1225W. What was wrong with it? I'd personally have paid well over £100 to keep that running as it was one of the last decent modern Zanussis made :( Liam |

We have Simpson front loaders that are made by Electrolux but in Thailand and look somewhat similar to that machine. My friend has one and she loves it, it doesn't do too bad a job, not a lot of noise to it, seems pretty solid too. I have just decided to move out with my partner and we wanted to get a new machine and I was considering one of these, think I am going to go with an Electrolux front loader thats actually electrolux since they are actually made in Italy. The Time Manager models are on special so might consider it depending on how much my partner wants to spend (we are splitting the price in half).
Anyway heres a pic of the Simpson/Electrolux machines... They come in either 5.5kg capacity with 850RPM or 7.0kg capacity with 1000RPM, my friend has the 7kg model. ![]() |

![]() I hate to rain on your parade, but unless you are looking to spend close to Miele money, the machine you get will be made in Thailand....
If it doesn't have the country of origin on the label near where the bellows are secured to the outer cabinet or on the inner edge of the door, then it is coming from Thailand...
Only the very top-end Electrolux machines are coming out of Italy these days. |
