New Zanussi washer bought but having second thoughts !!URGENT RESPONSES PLEASE!!

[bossboggle]

Help people. Have bought a new Zanussi machine being delivered at the week end - having second thoughts - WASH CYCLES TAKE FOR EVER!! 95 degree wash takes about 3 hours!! Cold fill machine, haven't had one before my machine at the moment is hot and cold fill. Has got some good/bad reports but I'm not sure. I was going to buy a BEKO machine but opted for this one a 7kg drum and 1600 spin speed. Anyone out there got something similar and how do you feel about it - need answers PDQ - do I cancel the order and go for the BEKO instead - 7kg drum and 1600 spin too. About the same price!! HELP HELP!!

average 7.9 out of 10 - not bad - but lots of negs for washing cycle times

test scores range from 69% to 74%, so not enormous differences.

I have the predecessor of the Bosch PigletJohn lists & it is absolutely brilliant.

90 degree cotton: 1hr 51 mins (it has a time-remaining display which is wonderful!)
60 degree cotton: 1h 17min, easy care: 1 hr
40 degree cotton: 1h 10min, easy care: 47 min
it also has cold, delicate & wool cycles

this newer one is probably even better all round, & it's a Which Best Buy

it's only 1200 spin though, & more expensive than the Zanussi - £309 vs £275 at Appliances Online
