Zanussi ZWC1300W - Compact and Efficient
Have you seen a Zanussi ZWC1300W before? This is a unique machine offered by Zanussi that is compact, quality and efficient for those who live in smaller spaces. If you are in need of a new washer and have limited space, the reviews indicate this is a unit to consider.
The Zanussi ZWC1300W is a free standing washing machine that measures 19 x 26 x 20 in (495 x 670 x 515mm) and has an 'A' energy rating (.57 kWh) with a 'B' wash and spin performance. The energy rating is so important to consider when choosing appliances today. Since laundry must be done on a regular basis, it seems that we are constantly doing laundry. Keeping the cost of running the machine minimized will reduce your overall utility bill and have less impact on the environment.
Although sometimes faster is better, this isn't always the case. In washing machine, there needs to be a sufficient amount of motion to make the dirt and grime release from the articles being washed. The spin speed to rinse away the 10 gal (39L) water from a maximum of 13 pounds (3kg) is 1300 RPM.
Choosing a washing machine is kind of like choosing a car. You need a car but do you really need all of the extras? The Zanussi ZWC1300W is a front loader which has 15 cycles to ensure that all types of items can be washed accordingly to the manufacturer's instructions. For safety issues, a child lock is a standard feature.
Although there are manual controls, the extra features are abundant. Some features are beneficial to a front loader and others are very helpful when needing to wash certain materials. Some of the features that the Zanussi ZWC1300W offers are:
• anti-crease cycle
• delicate cycle
• eco wash
• extra rinse cycle
• pre-wash
• rinse hold
• quick wash
• wool cycle
Many of these features are typically some of the cycles that are used most often. The different cycles are designed with a different length of cycle and what the machine does while in that cycle. 'Anti-crease' for your work and evening clothes, the 'pre-wash' for those extra dirty clothes and quick wash for that "oops" load because you didn't realize you hadn't done laundry and you are in need of certain items to be clean right away.
Several other features that the ZWC1300W offers are a large porthole to keep your cat busy and a variable spin cycle for different weights of materials. There is a delay timer to hold off on starting a load until your done with your shower and the water supply has a cold fill. The control panel is easy to operate and is for the most part quiet (53dB). For those who have purchased this particular model, the common complaint in the price (varies by seller).
Overall, this small machine is a winner. It weighs about 114 pounds (52 kg) so if you have to move it, you can; it's a perfect machine for a individual. The Zanussi ZWC1300W is full-sized washing machine in a little package.
