We've had a Zanussi w/d for nearly 20 years. Over the last year we've started to have a few problems like the audible alarms not working (so you don't get told it's finished) but it's still working well. We only use it for bath towels in the Winter when we can't hang them out, or occasionally heavy items like jeans.
The drum is quite small compared to newer washing machines, but there's only two of us and most stuff dries overnight on an airer.
