My mission whilst off of work today was to buy a new maching to replace the 17 year old Ariston. (The door lock has stopped working and our 12 month old is taking a keen interest in its workings whilst washing - it owes me nothing - time for a new one). I never thought I would get excited about a washing machine site - but what an excellent find. Total appreciation here for the time that must go into this. Suitably armed with your recommendation I marched into John Lewis to find the 1202 has been replaced with the 1203. No change other than a handwash programme and still the same cost. The guy in the store said they were from a quality maufacturer but he couldn't tell m…

Hi, After much deliberation and more importantly your excellent assistance, I have today ordered the JLWM via your site. I am keeping my fingers crossed it will be delivered sooner rather than later, quote "within 14 days" but I will let you know how it and I get along. Once more a very big thank you, I am more than grateful for your assistance in this matter. Regards - yoj13

I was relieved to find this site earlier in the year - even though I've been using washing machines for decades, making a choice is something of a minefield. The site is excellent, really helpful and helped me to decide on the John Lewis JLWM 1202. I'm happy with it though initially was a bit overwhelmed with the programmes. I tend to avoid the synthetics cycle because that gives a lower spin speed, I don't think you can override that. Can anyone explain to me how it is that the 'Economy' cycles take twice as long as the regular wash. How is that economical, I would have thought that would use more electricity? Forgive me if this is obvious, I just don't understand!

Hi Guys and Gals I got my new machine yesterday (JL1202) after reading good things about it on this site. So far I'm impressed. Anyway, I have a couple of questions about the machine and I wonder if anyone can answer them? Before the first wash the instruction manual says to pour 2l of water in to the detergent draw to 'activate the eco valve'. What is this so called 'eco valve'? Those familiar with the machine will know you have various wash options including economy 60, 40 etc. If I select economy 60 the wash time is longer than that of a normal 60 wash. According to the instruction manual the economy 60 wash takes longer than the normal 60 wash but uses less el…

For the past 2 weeks I have been looking for a washing machine - I got a lot of help from washerhelp site. Read all the reviews and decided to go and look at John Lewis the models I had shortlisted. I had a Zanussi previously so decided to go for Zanussi again but wanted to see the JL own make also. When I went there - they had reduced a Zanussi machine the model I wanted by £75 as there was a small dent at the bottom. I asked the staff if they could reduce more and it was again reduced by £25 - so I had a reduction of £100. I think I got a bargain and I have 2 years guarantee also and free delivery. If you are looking for bargains then you should go to the shop and…

Hi, I wish to annouce the arrival of my JLWM 1202 on the 23rd January, 2006 a truly gorgeous addition to our family. She arrived as expected on time and has behaved impreccably since. She is so quiet, I hardly know she is there. Seriously folks, I am delighted with this little baby. It is amazing the difference 20 years on from my Hoover. The only thing I will miss about my old machine, is the fact that it was on castors and made moving it so easy. This JL model is pretty heavy to say the least and even though I have a tiled floor, it was still pretty difficult to manovre into position. That said, I'm sure it will give me years of pleasure! Sincere thanks to …

Hi Having read the Washerhelp review, I recently purchased a JLWM1202. Thought I'd share a little feedback: 1) The order process was excellent. I ordered online, was called the next day to arrange delivery and the machine arrived at the scheduled time a week or so later. The delivery people took away my ancient old washer (this costs £9 extra). 2) The machine itself looks well put together. Being a bit of a geek (I'm a journalist, and I review high-tech products and computers for a living) I took a look inside through the hatch on the bottom - it was all neatly put together, with cables well tied up in place etc. 3) It weighs a ton. It's at least twice as heavy as my…

Hi, Before I found this site I was all set to go out and buy a hotpoint washing machine, but now I've had second thoughts and am now looking at other brands. Originally I was going to buy from John Lewis anyway as they always have great warranty and when I was last there I saw they had their own range but didn't think much of them as own brand stuff from other places usally ends up in a disapointment! The washing machine I was going to buy was the Hotpoint Aqualtis AQXXF149PM. Since Reading your review on the Zanussi ZWF1221W (which is now only £199!) I've been tempted to get a Zanussi ZWF1431. First because I have got around £350 to spend, secondly it seems quite goo…

Hello, Thanks for this great website - Just what I was looking for! I'm considering buying a John Lewis washing machine following the positive comments about them on this site. It will either be a JLWM1202 washer or a JLWD1406 washer drier, final decision resting on whether my wife decides she really wants a washer dryer or whether we can make do with just the washing machine. A question I have is if I decided one day to perform a DIY repair, how easy would it be to get parts for them and how would I know what parts to order?. Since the machines are made by Electrolux, do most Electrolux/AEG/Zanussi/John Lewis machines all use the same parts so parts for one will fit …

First can I say what a great website! My Tricity Bendix BA450 has just died on me, so I need to replace it I emailed Tricity Bendix (which turned out to be Electrolux) to ask for suggestions for an equivalent replacement to the one I have already and they suggested the Zanussi ZJ1218. Searching the net for possible built-in machines I came up with possibles from Hotpoint BWM 129, Whirlpool AWM049-3, Indesit WM12X and Tecnik TKL9260 (never heard of them?) and a few other Zanussi models: Then I found your site! I noticed you're not a fan of integrated machines, but as my kitchen is totally built in (washing machine, tumble drier, dishwasher, fridge, freezer) I reall…

Hi - looking for a bit of advice on buying a washer/dryer Out Hotpoint WD63 has packed up for the last time (not even 3 years old but has required numerous engineer visits and I'm fed up paying £40 a pop for new heat fuses. Anyway, I digress...) Due to space constraints, we need another combined washer/dryer, so I have been reading through your advice and seeing whats out there and have narrowed down the choices to either a Zanussi ZWD1272 (£399, 2yr warranty) or a John Lews JLWD1406 (£499, 3 year warranty), both from John Lewis. I'm looking for advice on which of these you would chose? The JL one obviously has the longer warranty but costs more, so I factored in gett…

Our Zanussi Jetsystem 1200 washing machine packed up after many years service and my wife decided to buy the John Lewis JLWM1201. Just thought I'd let you know my wife is very pleased with the John Lewis machine which is quieter than the old one. Main plus points for her were:- 1. a pause button - very useful when eating lunch 2. larger drum size welcomed with 4 kids 3. washing seems drier after spin 4. less vibration Machine is still going well and again thanks for your advice Cheers Peter
