Washing Machine and Separate Dryer

Summary

I've never had a washer dryer, people always said that I would hate it as they dont dry the clothes properly but I live in a flat I hate having clothes on airers for days drying so it got to the point that I thought I've got to give it a go, so I sold my other washing machine (also a zanussi) and bought this washer dryer and I wish I'd got one in the beginning. I suppose it depends on which one you get but I've always liked Zanussi and everyone in my family has a Zanussi Washer, the only thing that put me off was the cost it was £429, and you can get cheaper but just not sure if they would be as good. I hope it lasts!

How long have you used the product?

Less than 1 month

What are the strengths?

At the turn of a dial it works out how much water to use and how long to wash your clothes, alternatively you can manually select what you want, the large drum in really useful and the jetsystem+ technology really gets your clothes clean. This new type of inverter motor is excellent you can't even hear it whilst it's washing, for a minute I thought it wasn't working but when I went to it all I could here was the splashing water, I was shocked, good job it beeps when it's finished or I'd never know, and the LCD is useful. The dryer is also good, I've never had a washer dryer before and everyone said the clothes wouldn't dry but again I used the lowest pre programmed drying choice setting and it worked out how long to dry the clothes for based on the weight that was in there and in less than an hour they were dry.

What are the weaknesses?

It doesn't iron the clothes and put them away, oh and perhaps the cost, it would also be good to have more than one years manufacturer guarantee just incase.
