Re: Looking to buy a m/c -advice plz

By local are you referring to the big C`s if so I`m not surprised, try an independant retailer 😉

The Gorenje range is worth a look as are the Zanussi`s.

sorry to be a pest any particular series in Zanussi that u could suggest? ZWF and ZWC are the series I guess – are all the ZWF models not sealed drums and are good?

btw there is a ZWF14069W model available for 249 (1400 spin, AAB, 5.5 kg)?

I would go with the ZWF14380 1400 spin machine or the Bosch WAE24364GB.

also spin speed of 1200 and 1400 rpm – is there not a huge difference between them?

Old model now discontinued so you may not get one which is probably why it`s priced to clear.

1) the Bosch WAE24364GB is a 1200 rpm m/c and B spin – is there a huge difference between 1200 and 1400 rpm, Just thinking that the rpm is less and the spin efficiency is also less (B) will this affect the rinsing.?

2) so is it a No for the Zanussi ZWF14069W one?

Re: Looking to buy a m/c -advice plz

If you need a higher spin for heavier fabrics then there is the Bosch WAE28364 same range and spec as the 24364.

You could try for one of the Zanussi machines but my money would go on and has gone on a Bosch 😀

Don I might get a good deal on the 24364 Bosch through price match .. do you think a 1200 and a 1400 rpm spin will make a huge diff?

On everyday cotton mixes probably no as long as you don`t overload the machine.

for future reference for other people i believe this is the the tricity bendix aw1402 carcass/drum with a zanussi zwf14070 board, assembled exclusively for DSG (currys/pixmania/dixons)

if my suspicions are correct, word of warning for consumers as ive had 2 t/b aw1402s in the last month with pcb failure due to motor failures – one 14 and the other 19 months old.

also had one last year where the bearings were shot within 6 months. luckily ive only ever sold 3 of them – but its still cost our company money exchanging out of warranty tho.

get the feeling this is e/lux trying to find a way of shifting knowingly problematic stock – hence the sale price, and exclusiveness.

im hoping spindoctor can clarify more on this

This thread has been very useful for me too, thanks.
I’m considering LG or Bosch at around £300. Sounds to me like Bosch is a safer bet? Currently looks like Bosch WAE24060 is the cheapest — we don’t need fancy electronic programmes or high spin speed. Hopefully it’s also not a sealed drum, as it’s another WAE?

Thanks!

Re: Looking to buy a m/c -advice plz

last time i looked the 24060 was a screwed tub, but ask your retailer to check the actual machine your getting before handing over any money. in the past we have come across bsh products where internal spec changes, even tho the model number is the same, albeit the last few digits after the “waeXXXXXgb/” whereby these last 2 numbers are for that production run…
