Unfortunately we definitely can’t fit separates, well unless I kicked the wife out and her clothing collection :p
Both the Zanussi and Beko only do 1 year warranty. Obviously it isn’t a guarantee you will or will not have an issue with the machine, as they say you pays your money. However with AEG offering 5 year warranty they obviously think offering 5 years won’t be too costly to them which gives me some confidence in what they think of their own build quality.
