With a discount I managed to buy this machine for £209, so I was slightly concerned about quality and some previous reviews I had seen.
However so far it's been great. It looks good and washes well and has a good selection of programmes ranging from 14 minutes to over 3hrs.
The delay start was a must to make use of cheaper energy in the night and this works well.
I do not understand how some people find it loud. It's much quieter than my previous machine and I cannot hear it washing or spinning when in other rooms of the house.
I made slight adjustments of the feet to ensure the machine was level and it doesn't move at all unlike some other reviews.
I do agree that it has a flimsy wash powder drawer but that is the only negative comment I can make about it. It will be interesting to see if it lasts 13 years like my previous zanussi.
