    my Zanussi is now 24 years old and apart from now just needing a new interlock it’s and motor brushes been brilliant. 30 years ago I worked for Currys and sold Zanussis and they were by far the most reliable. Since joining with Electrolux I don’t think that’s the case any more – next machine we’ll buy will be a Miele. All the extended family have had other brands and all seem to get replaced after a few years. One of the family we about to replace a Hotpoint after 4 years but I was able to fix it by replacing a 56 pence capacitor on the control board. It seems crazy that they engineer a great big machine with lots of moving parts that can spin at 1000rpm and do a great mechanical job of washing clothes and let it all down and risk their reputation by using poor quality cheap electronic components to save just a few pence in the manufacturing process. Miele seems to have exactly the opposite philosophy. Machines are designed to last and designed to be repaired.

    Just my 2-penneth

    To be honest I don’t think the Electrolux brands are all that bad, yes not a Miele but still do the job. My AEG L52810 is now 8 years old, does about 3-4 loads a week and I have never had to touch it to date, it just gets on with it. I think it was from John Lewis at the time at £379 but I got it from vouchers given to me by a supplier of mine so cost me nothing, but would still be happy if I had paid £379….
