Not the Best Value for Price
This machine is not bad as it incorporates the same programming Electrolux uses on all brands, including AEG, which is far more expensive.
However, a slight let down is the variety of programs. It has been increased from the Lindo range, but still many cycles are missing. Instead of using 3 slots for quick cycles, they could've all been grouped in one and cycles through with the time saving button. Cycle for shirts for example would have been great and Electrolux have it developed. Another great cycle would have been the Outdoor care/Waterproof that's missing as well.
As for the time adjust button, it is slightly disappointing that we are not getting the Electrolux Time Manager, where the most frequently used cycles have 5 different lenghts user can choose from. Note that the display actually has 5 segments under the time, so Electrolux has just gone cheap here.
Another disappointment is the departure from the Lindo design, where the body itself was the same like the US-based Electrolux models with delightful curves. The current design lamguage just screams "Cheap" from miles away and the unit itself is not the cheapest.
Noise levels are on par with pre-2022 AEG and Electrolux, but could be improved. Anything above 72 db is too much nowadays. Note that every +3 db is perceived double by human ear so 76 db is double the noise compared to 72 db.
The lack of the great soft+ option is not brilliant either. The usage of induction motor and not BPM doesn't really make much difference, but again, inducates cheapness.
All in all, many improvements can easily be made by Electrolux to offer an appliance that doesn't feel like something from the previous decade.

A: Hello
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a 5 star review for your Zanussi washing machine.
It sounds like you are getting used to using this washing machine and the great features it has to offer. The selection of programmes are suited to a busy home and can cut down time when doing a full load as you mention the drum is big enough for a double bed change as well as a family load.
No prewash on the 60 easy wash to save time but with the other great features I'm sure you can agree this is a great washing machine.
