Zanussi ZWSG7101V Washing Machine Reviews

Over the past two years, the range of automatic washing machines has changed somewhat. There are fewer expensive models, but budget-friendly models have become significantly more popular, and their sales have increased. Buyers are increasingly opting for appliances that "just do the washing" and are increasingly reluctant to pay for "featured" models with self-diagnostics and internet access. The Zanussi ZWSG7101V washing machine is currently among the best-selling machines. Customer reviews, which we invite you to read, will tell us what makes it so special.

Men's opinions

Ilya, Barnaul

I bought this washing machine because its depth was just right. The thing is, the niche under the counter in my bathroom is only 42 cm. 40 cm models weren't suitable because I needed room for the hoses. I got the Zanussi ZWSG7101V, which has a depth of 38 cm, plus 4 cm left over for the plumbing. I also really liked the price. I paid $280 with the discount. That's quite affordable, considering this model:

• has a load capacity of 6 kg of laundry;
• spins at speeds up to 1000 rpm;

The optimal spin speed is 800 rpm. If I set it to 1000 rpm, the machine starts to wobble and even jump sometimes.

• has a digital display that shows all the information the user needs;
• The arsenal includes 14 washing programs, which are selected very carefully;
• has a compartment for powder and protection against leaks.

The car also has a child safety lock, but it's kind of flimsy. My baby quickly got around it.However, it has one obvious drawback: it does not block the on/off button. At first, I had a suspicion that the washing machine wouldn't last long, as its price was too affordable, but no, the machine is still working to this day, and it's been a year and a half since I bought it.

This washing machine is noisy and bouncy. No solutions help. I've leveled it perfectly and put a special rubber mat down, but it still makes noise and bounces. A washing machine is much better at bouncing. Indesit BWSB 51051, my mom's been washing for two years now, and it's been standing still. I should have gotten the same one, but I listened to the expert's advice and went with the Zanussi ZWSG7101V.

Evgeniy, Tyumen

The Zanussi ZWSG7101V is an average, inexpensive washing machine, so don't expect too much from it. It's quite noisy because the base is missing and the walls are completely uninsulated, but the noise doesn't bother me. When the machine was new, there was a pungent plastic smell coming from the door, but after a month or so, the smell disappeared. It washes perfectly, which means it'll be in my house until it breaks. My verdict: an average washing machine!

Mikhail, Moscow

For about a year while I was getting divorced from my wife, I was hanging out in a rented dorm room. I really needed a washing machine, but money was tight, so I snagged a Zanussi ZWSG7101V on sale. It's good for washing clothes, and it looks pretty decent. It still works without a problem, even though I moved out of the dorm two years ago. Five stars!

Artem, Samara

A year ago, my wife and I were lucky enough to buy a Zanussi ZWSG7101V. It's a decent washing machine, it does its job, but it's terribly noisy. We tolerated it at first, but then our baby was born and he became terrified of it. Putting it away in another room was out of the question because we live in a studio apartment. We found a solution.

I went to the auto parts store and picked up a few sheets of soundproofing material for cars. After applying this material to the inside of the washing machine, I noticed a significant reduction in noise. After some time, I replaced the bottom with a piece of thick foam, and the washing machine became significantly quieter. The moral of the story: if you want a proper washing machine, not a construction kit, buy something other than the Zanussi ZWSG7101V.

Women's opinions

Elena, Moscow

The machine is completely intuitive, the controls are simple and accessible even for the elderly. The load capacity is normal, even for large items. I consider the rinsing function to be a clear advantage of the machine. It's rinsed with plenty of water, so both dirt and detergent are rinsed out. The price is affordable, and this model has a decent display. Five stars!

Larisa, Rostov-on-Don

I washed clothes with this machine for about six months and was happy because everything was fine. Then it broke, and the service department tried to rip me off with a free warranty repair. I had to fight and file a complaint with the seller. Eventually, I got my way, and my conclusion is this: the machine is good, but the service is terrible!

Julia, Krasnoyarsk

The Zanussi ZWSG7101V's build quality is poor, which is why it rattles and bounces so much. The components it's made of are also far from perfect, so when you buy a machine like this, you're playing the lottery. I was unlucky; my Zanussi broke down fatally just a little beyond the warranty period. Repairs will cost more than a new machine. I'm upset!

A power surge wrecked all the electronics and the engine. The mechanic said he could fix it, but it would cost $300.

Svetlana, Perm

I'm happy to share my experience using the Zanussi ZWSG7101V washing machine. It's been serving our family for three years now. It hasn't malfunctioned or broken down once. It always produces excellent, yet economical, washes. For the price, you probably won't find a better machine. A fantastic choice!

Oksana, Kostroma

I've been using a Zanussi for about a year. It's a fairly standard machine, with its pros and cons. I decided to buy it because it's cheap. The most important thing for me is that it does its job and hasn't broken down yet. My husband says the bearings have started making a suspicious noise. Time will tell. So far, so good.
