Choosing the right Zanussi washing machine for you

Zanussi is the sister brand of AEG, but tend to make cheaper and less feature-packed washing machines. 

This is because Zanussi doesn't release many new models often. Most Zanussi washing machines we have reviewed were originally released in 2014 and 2015.

As such it's unsurprising that Zanussi washing machines tend to have minimal features. There are no smart Zanussi washing machines, for example.

Most Zanussi washing machines are white, but it's possible to find silver models, and some with a white body and stylish chrome door rims.
