Zanussi ZWS 7100 VS Washing Machine Reviews

Zanussi needs no introduction; it's a super-famous brand. For a hundred years, they've been producing high-quality products that delight consumers. The Zanussi ZWS 7100 VS washing machine is a prime example of this. How technologically advanced is it, how does it perform, and what other consumer features does it offer? Numerous customer reviews will tell you all about it.

Owners' opinions

Boris, Novosibirsk

I'm already quite an experienced owner of automatic washing machines. I've already handled about a dozen washing machines. The last one was Indesit IWSB 5085, which only lasted five months. Frankly, during that time I became disillusioned with Indesit, Bosch, and Hansa appliances. I wouldn't recommend these appliances to anyone. But my latest "home assistant," the Zanussi ZWS 7100 VS, is quite good.

1. It works well, without any glitches, awkward freezes, or even breakdowns, which is due to its high build quality.
2. It is relatively inexpensive, at least cheaper than branded models.
3. It has a narrow body, and in general the machine looks miniature, despite the fact that in size it is not much smaller than standard models.
4. It has an informative display and a wide-opening loading door. Both seem like small details, but they create the essential comfort you appreciate when using a washing machine.
5. The machine has simple controls and a convenient powder receptacle with a clear arrangement of the trays.

The truth is, it's hard to rinse out the detergent, gel, and conditioner from the left compartment. Despite the instructions, I tried putting all of the above in there to test it out. Nothing came out.

I think I can say now that the washing machine is good, as it's been working for me for a year and a half now and has lasted longer than all my other machines. It has a few minor flaws, but no machine is perfect. At first, I installed it myself on a wooden floor, and it was noisy. Then I had it reinstalled by technicians, who made a special stand and leveled the frame. After that, the washing machine was completely transformed and became twice as quiet. I highly recommend it!

Roman, Tolyatti

After moving out of my parents' house last year, I started thinking about getting my own washing machine. I was sick of driving across town to their place with a basket of dirty laundry, and I absolutely hate washing things by hand. I snagged a Zanussi ZWS 7100 VS at a great discount at the store. I'm quite happy with it. It doesn't look ugly, it washes well, and the 5 kg load capacity also suits me. So I'm happy!

Sergey, Stary Oskol

I used a similar washing machine at work. Realizing it was indestructible, I bought the exact same one for home use. I'm as happy as a cat with sour cream, and my wife is absolutely delighted. The highlight of this machine is the wash and rinse cycle. It washes and rinses so thoroughly that even a royal laundress would be proud of the results, and I'm not exaggerating. See for yourself!

Konstantin, Moscow

This is a very basic washing machine, and I wasn't impressed. The drum is quite small, so you can't even wash a couple of sets of bed linen properly in one go; I have to split the load. I only tried washing jackets once, but the machine got stuck in the spin cycle and wouldn't start. I think this is a hopelessly outdated model that the manufacturer wanted to sell quickly.

Opinions of housewives

Tatyana, Volgograd

First, I'll say a few good things about this washing machine. First, it does its job well; second, it has simple and reliable controls, so I think the electronics will last a long time; and third, it has a display. That's where the pros end and the cons begin, in my opinion.

1. After a year of use, the plastic around the powder compartment darkened. It's unclear why this happened; the plastic remained white throughout the front panel, but in one spot it turned brownish-yellow.

Imagine the appearance of your washing machine with such a stain. You walk into the bathroom and immediately see the ugly machine, and your mood immediately sours.

2. Small items constantly fall into the washing machine during the wash cycle, and we've never gotten them out because we don't know how. There are definitely two or three socks and a thong in there already.
3. The door doesn't close properly. To close it and start washing, you have to press the door with your foot with considerable force.
4. Removing the tray for cleaning requires some serious fiddling. The problem is, the front part of the tray is very fragile and tends to break off. I didn't realize this at first and tugged until I broke off one of the four fasteners. Now, I have to be very, very careful when removing the tray.

The conclusion is that Zanussi is no better than anyone else. They make the same machines with a fair number of flaws, yet they try to charge exorbitant prices for their products, as if it's a well-known brand, so you have to pay. I bought the Zanussi ZWS 7100 VS at an inflated price; had I known about its flaws, I would have refused to buy it.

Anna, Kemerovo

The machine won't remove even the simplest stains, and I can't figure out why. I've tried changing detergents, but it doesn't help much. There are often problems with imbalances. If the laundry in the drum gets too clumped, the machine starts spinning it around or even freezes. I have to monitor it very closely to make sure the laundry doesn't get tangled. It's a finicky machine, I don't like it!

Irina, Moscow

It's a great machine; no problems after three years of use. I really like the design. Now I always enjoy washing. I don't know about you, but a perfectly functioning machine always lifts my spirits.

Lyudmila, St. Petersburg

I bought this washing machine less than a year ago, and nothing has dampened my joy of washing since. It's compact but quite heavy; my husband somehow managed to fit it into the bathroom. He said the heavier the machine, the more stable it would be, supposedly quieter and less likely to wobble. Indeed, the Zanussi ZWS 7100 VS is quieter than our previous Candy washing machine, which, however, was six years old. I'm very happy with the machine, that's all I can say!

Evgeniya, Samara

I've been trying to find fault with our new Zanussi ZWS 7100 VS washing machine for six months now, but I can't. Apparently, it has no flaws, only advantages. Zanussi knows its technology, they have top-notch engineers, and they won't release any junk.

Elena, Krasnodar

Quiet, reasonably priced, and excellent performance—that's a brief summary of this brand's washing machine. I would like to especially emphasize one point: the washing machine spins amazingly. I don't know yet whether it ruins the laundry or not, but the clothes come out slightly damp. How the engineers achieved this, I don't know. But I'm very glad I have this machine at home.

Larisa, Penza

This machine has the best quick wash program because it not only washes quickly but also really well. That's why I don't use most of the programs. I absolutely love this washing machine and recommend it to everyone!
