Choosing the best Zanussi washing machine

As with most washing machine brands, Zanussi mainly produces freestanding washing machines. However, it also offers a few built-in models for those specifically looking for a washing machine that can be installed behind a cupboard door.

You won't find Zanussi washing machines weighed down with tech – they're more stripped-down and standard than groundbreaking. But they provide everything you need to wash an everyday load of dirty clothes.

Many Zanussi washing machines come with a larger-than-average door opening of 34cm, rather than 30cm. This means that loading large items, such a duvet, is often a bit easier. Spin speeds peak at 1,400rpm, and the biggest machines have 10kg drums, which are about half as big again as a standard drum. And A+++ energy labels aren't uncommon on top-of-the-range machines.

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.
