Zanussi ZWF16070 reviews: Front Loading loading, 6kg capacity washing machine

+ Great product, it's quiet, dries clothes very well at 1600 rpm or even at 900 spin rates, clothes come out very clean, over all very happy with the product.

+ Energy efficient. Looks good. Great spin

- Might be energy efficient but the most used cycle is over 2 hrs. Absolutely ridiculous. Also very noisy. Would not recommend to others.

+ It is very quiet compared to previous machine and has many cycles.

- Some of the cycles take a long time to finish.

+ Generally good all round

- Very noisy on the spin cycle

+ Reliable with good spin speed. Large drum and plenty of programme choices.

- None

+ Easy to use, the door opening wider then my last machine. Of course the oprice and energy efficiency too. Overall although I have had it for a short time I am very satisfied with the washing results and after the first white wash I could see how much whiter and brighter the cloths were.

- Ony that it appears sometime to take quite a long time.

+ Large drum. Quiet in operation. Eco mode.

- No indication of how far through the programme it is.
Cycle times are quite long.

+ Fantastic fast spin

- Sounds like it will take off at its fastest spin

+ Easy to use, quiet, good spin speed, energy efficient

+ quiet spin, thorogh wash, lots of alternative washes, smart appearance

- none so far

+ varies speeds, half load, quick wash

- no way of knowing time till end of was

+ Very easy to use/ Items washed very well

- Very noisy at high spin speeds. Cycle times are very long especially for cottons - consequently I do not see how the washer can be efficient in terms of quantities of electricity and water used.

+ Easy to use with good washing performance. High spin speed gets washing almost dry and timer function is useful. Energy efficient economy programmes work well.

- None so far.

+ It is quiet, and with the large door is very easy to load. There are a large range of programs which are described very adequately on the program dial itself.

- None to speak of really. The only small problem has been the fact that the front bulges a couple of inches which meant that an adjacent cupboard door fouled it. This won't be a problem to most users off course.

- Height adjuster difficult to adjust

+ Easy to use, good sized detergent drawer, like 1/2hr quickie programme which I use for most things.

- Would like separate temperature control, so I could do a standard synthetic wash at 30 instead of 40, but it's only a minor gripe.

+ Large variety of cycles and spins really well.

- Doesn't rinse very well on quick cycle

+ High Spin speed, cycle variations, Auto Half load.

- Could have been even cheaper!!

+ drum size, choice of programmes, 1600 spin spped

- Noisier than my old Bosch machine

+ The fastest spin speed is great - most washing comes out almost dry. Easy to use and low noise. Love the bigger door. I have always preferred the Zannussi brand and I wasnt disappointed with this machine at all.

- There is no indication of where in the cycle the machine is - a minor point considering all the things I like about it.

+ i like the delayed time settings 3, 6 9. hrs i can put the washing in at 9pm and it all ready for me to put out in the morning plus it has a great spin at 1,600 rpm almost dry,

- only bad point it is a little noisey on full r .p m

+ Easy to use and plenty of functions

- Noisier on Spin Cycle than I expected

+ spin speed, drum size, ease of use

- no indication of time left on wash cycle

+ Excellant cleaning, easy to use, large drum very useful, half load very useful

- A little noisy, wash seems to take a long time, would be helpful to know how long before the load finishes.

+ Plenty of useful programmes, including handwash

- None so far

+ As long as you select a program that will use the 1600 spin the washing comes out almost dry which is great if like me you have a lot of washing to do!

- The only thing I would class as bad is not all the cycles use the 1600 spin and you can't overide it.

+ As good as my previous Zanussi which lasted over 8 years

- None

+ Fast spin speed of 1600 means clothes require less time in tumble drier. Drum capacity of 6Kg allows for fewer washes.

- A bit noisy but not a big issue.

+ wash cycles are much faster than old machine. The spin cycle also gets the clothes drier and the increased drum size is excellent. Energy efficiency of triple A should hopefully save on money. Overall so far it has been very good

+ timer - so you can set the machine to work overnight during cheap rate
quiet
basic controls - practically foolproof so even hubby can use it!

- timer has different increments to previous machine of same make - so will take a bit of getting used to!
cycle times are long - but that seems to be the same with every cold fill machine

+ I do find it pretty easy to use.

- Does not have time to end of cycle display.

+ ease of use, spin efficiency,

- vibrating noise

+ Reviewer left no comment

- On 1600 RPM, the washing machine violently jumped across my kitchen floor and tore massive holes in the lino and also damaged other areas of the kitchen. It has been fine on the other settings.

+ great price, large drum, reliable

- longer cycle for washing than most others.

+ Very good machine, plenty of features, control over spin speed, energy efficient, easy to install.

- None really.

+ Lots of different cycle options.

- Wash times are quite long even on the super quick setting is about an hour (well the ne i've tried so far).

+ It is very easy to use and the washing results are excellent

- Nil

+ Very easy to use

- None - impressed

+ VERRY GOOD MAKE

+ the brand

- abit hard to use and cycle time a bit long

+ really good machine, washes on a quick wash within 30 mins, and the 1600 spin leaves the clothes not very wet at all so takes no time at all to dry. I am so sad that I now love washing as I know it is not going to be lay around the house for days. The spin is not too noisy either but does sound like an aircraft but miles quieter than my old machine.

- Don't know where the machine cycle is whilst it is doing the wash, may be something for Zanussi to think about for the future, but not that much of a bad point is it!

+ spin is so good it does not take long to dry. quick wash is good as clothes are not always that dirty.

- does not say how much time is left to finish wash

+ nice size door

- Reviewer left no comment

+ 1600 spin speed is great and no where as noisy as my old Hotpoint 800 spin. Godd bulid quality and lots of usefull features.

- Electronic timer will not change to a new programme unless you switch machine off. Dial will change, but machine carries on with existing wash programme without notifcation.

+ Pleanty of different wash cycles to choose from

- Wash cycle times are so much longer than our previous machine - I wonder if this is as good for the environment as it says in the publicity literature!

+ Decided on this machine after reading many reviews, also past knowledge of Zanussi. I am really pleased with this product and would have no hesitation in recommending it to friends. Outstanding cleaning and large drum reduces the frequency of use thereby saving electricity/water. Not nearly as noisy as other reviewers would have us believe! We sometimes have to check that it is still going! As for other reviewers saying that 'it can't do this or that' all I can say is; Read the Manual! It is a really good machine with such a large choice of options, I would probably never use them all!

- None that I have come across.

+ energy efficiency and noise

- controls a little fiddlely

+ Having had my previous Zanussi washing machine for 10 years or so, I knew that I would like another one. This one seems excellent quality, with a huge range of programs. It is very straight forward to use (even my husband managed to put on a load without having to look at the instruction manual!) My previous machine was only a 1050 spin, so I really like the 1600 spin which means that my washing is near enough dry when it comes out of the machine. As someone who uses my tumble dryer a bit too often, this will really help cut down on my electricity bill!

- So far, I havent encountered anything very negetive. My only small gripe would be the length of time the cycle takes when you use the eco setting, but to be honest, most of my washing gets put on either over night or first thing in the morning before i go to work, so it doesn't really impact all that much.

+ Excellent spin and quiet too. Wash is very clean at low temperatures. Easy to use and plenty of options.

- Don't know how long is left of cycle.

+ easy to use single dial,handy quick wash cycle,clothes come out spotless and fresh,very quiet in use, exceptional spin clothes come out nearly dry,all round good machine

- none

+ The good points are the time delay feature and its ease of use. Its just so easy to set it to wash through the night, then the next morning all the clean clothes are ready for drying.

- If I had to pick a bad point I would say it is the machine not having a seperate temperature button, as you have to use the cycles and the default temperatures, but it has a good range of different washes so its not really a problem

+ Great fast spin and the option to delay draining spinning etc. Energy efficient and quiet !

- Some of the programmes are longer that I would like BUT they do get everything clean - so Im just in too much of a hurry

+ Fast spin speed, energy efficiency, price

- Wast hose short so had to fit an extension. (Previous Zanussi machine was OK)

+ easy to set up

- takes a long time and you cannot tell how much longer the cycle has left.

+ Quiet and Energy Efficient. It does what it say's on the box.

- None that I've found

+ The washing machine is very simple to use even if it does look complicated. The drum is retty large and so you can get more washed in one load which also saves time. The Economoy was and eergey efficiency is also impressive.

- It rattles a bit when using a big spin.

+ Very well built and easy to use

- A bit noisy would have wanted it a little quieter

+ Very reliable, easy to use quite inexpensive considering all the features on offer.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ easy to use

- some cycles take quite a long time

+ Nice washing M/c, spin gets the clothes nice and dry.

- Long cycle times but the clothes are clean.

+ good range of features

- no1600 spin on cooler washes.

+ Good value for money. Took me ages to decide on the right machine for me, with help from family and friends. I think I made the right choice.

- Not really a bad point, more my inability to stand for ages studying the book!! I expect this machine can do more than I know about!

+ Have used this type of brand before

- none

+ it is much less noisy than the previous wachine machine we had, even on the high spin cycle

- there is no spin option between 1600 and 900 rpm and it is not possible to choose a 30 degree cycle for cottons.
There is no option of combining the eco mode and quick cycle.

+ this is a very reliable product and we expect years of continous use from it

- we dont have any

+ Easy to operate.
Noise level acceptable.

- Lack of spin between 900 & 1600.
Quick wash does not clean efficiently.
Normal cycle is too long.

+ Easy to use godd value for money

- Slightly noisy on spin

+ Easy to use. Good value for money. When using the 1600 spin setting clothes come out almost dry.

- You can only use the 1600 spin on certain settings.

+ very easy to use and not noisy

- none really

+ All in all, I'm very happy with this purchase, most satisfactory.

- Nil.

+ Extremely quiet in action and excellent cleaning results. Cold fill only so easy to install but does add a few minutes to cycle times. The 'Eco' cycles are very long so beware! Not as versatile regarding the settings as my old Hotpoint with a digital display and push button operation, but generally a better all round machine.

- None yet

+ Reviewer left no comment

- nothing bad to say

+ Good choice of programmes

- Very long cycle times

+ Typical Zanusi quality

- Noise

+ Chose Zanussi as previous machine had lasted well, It has all the features of my old machine, ie. halfload, plus the extras such as delay start. Large door is a plus, Also 30 degree wash cycle. It is very quiet and the cycle times that I use are not too long.

- Just have to re spin at 1600 on certain cycles, but knew this in advance of buying machine.

+ varied progs

- doesn't dry that well

+ I bought a Zannusi washing machine when I was first married, some 40+ years ago, when they first came out. At the time my only bad point with it was the door didn't lock and I had a small child. I've gone through the majority of manufacturers since then, and have gone full circle now and couldn't be more satisfied.
It's practically noise free, has a very reasonable sized drumfeatures several different programs,spins very well and it looks good in my kitchen.
I think you could say I like it very much

- After a months use have not found anything that I dislike or are bad.

+ excellent spin cycle. Large drum. time delay

- Length of cycle times. No indication of how long the cycle has to run. cold fill

+ easy to use

- nothing

+ easy and simple to use, good spin.

- would like to know how much longer there is to run on each cycle.

+ Zanussi is a name that can be trusted for quality products

- This particular model has no 'time' indicator to let you know when wash is nearly complete

+ ease of operation, very quiet

- a list of washing times for all cycles would be useful. Some of them take a very long time.

+ very reliable, quiet, and spin speed is excellent.

- it could have been cheaper as there is a recession

+ Features, easy to use, washes quite well. Half load useful

- High temperature cylcles too long in time. 1600 spin only on certain programes, disappointing. Was not apparent in write up.

+ i like the Sssh super silent factor, it really is very quiet. i like all the features equally.

- the machine is rather heavy so not easy to move for cleaning.under and around

+ Excellent washing and spin cycle results. I geuss the bad points help achieve the good results

- I think it takes too long for the cycle on cottons. It uses a lot of water. .

+ Very easy to use

- None that I've found so far!

+ Cycle times are reasonable - some machines seem to take 2 hours and this has a number at around an hour

- front sticks out too far from my kitchen units - it is not flat fronted but curves outwards in the middle

+ It is very easy to use. Knobs and buttons are clear.
Has a good drum size.

- "Half load" is only available with a 40 degree wash.
The "Super Quick" circle could be shorter.

+ It was what I wanted!

- Been better as a gift!

+ very easy to use.good build

- noisy

+ The 6kg capacity and the 1600 spin speed are the attractive aspects of the machine. Best value for money at this capacity and spin speed.

- Whilst on paper it appears to give you lots of programme flexibility, in practice many permutations cannot be selected. For example, for a 30 minute wash, the maximum spin speed allowed is only 700 rpm - what's the point in that when the machine can do 1600 rpm? Why can't I select a time of programme and a spin speed that actually removes all the water from the clothes? I have to do a 30 minute wash, then reste the machine to spin at 1600 - two programmes required to process one load of washing. Not flexible enough.

+ Easy programmes, quick wash facility,

- Noise!

+ Reviewer left no comment

- There is no control over the temperature.

+ Lots of people had concerns about the spin speeds but they are fine- clothes are very dry after washing, even on the slower speed. Its really quiet and easy to use . Time delay feature great as it means it can run while youa re slepeign and then ready to hang out in morning. Good value for money would recommend to anyone.

- Can't get automatic half load feature to work.

+ Have always had good experiences with Zanussi washing machines and this one is no different. Very simple to use, all the cycle programmes I would ever need, extremely quiet even with a 1600 spin option and energy efficient all at a very reasonable price. I have noticed the wash cycle times seem to be longer than what I remember with my previous machine but it doesnt cause me a problem as I normally put a wash on before I go to work or before going to bed (yes its so quiet I can run it during the night!)
