Jon, the matter is not the usefulness, which is largely subjective, but it is the manipulation and profiling I haven't missed that you have disregarded my point, so I repeat it here: have you ever wondered why do you need an app to use additional programmes? And now, do you wonder why you...

Just as an example, you have never asked why you need an app to use additional programmes that could be directly on the machine, and probably are. Instead you have passively accepted that the app is needed to use those programmes as they told you, and maybe you haven't even thought that of the...

Admittedly, this can be useful, but the last thing that I want is to wait to be told that the laundry is dry, but here to each his own, as they say Which you could also do with a simple timer on the machine, and forces you to spend your time waiting to be told that the free electricity time has...

Welcome to the forum, Richard, and I see that from the Netherlands you have collected also some Italian emblems (and a Radiomarelli fridge it's actually a rarity)

That's exactly what I do with my "modern" electronic washing machine (actually, I do the same with my "modern" electronic dishwasher): am I the only one?

You can take a look here, but I cannot find that part: https://shop.electrolux.co.uk/search?text=916%20097%20386

This it not true, it is just another of the many lies spread over the net. Assuming that "oxygen bleach" means sodium percarbonate, it works also in cold water, the agitation is sufficient to dissolve it and make it to do its job, which is to decompose into oxygen and sodium carbonate. For...

I strongly disagree, this is just conventional wisdom. It is true that washing habits may make the issue better or worse, but any cleaner needs to be cleaned every now and then, and just to name the most obvious, for civilised washers equipped with the mandatory heater, descaling is necessary...

Same here, and I do regularly wash rags at about 50 °C with dishwasher powder, so in one go I clean the rags and the machine

Does it? Really? And since when? And what "control" do you mean'

It is easy to reduce harmonic distortion: you just have to add lots of negative feedback, which is exactly what the Japanese manufacturers used to do when audio equipment was assessed based on their specifications, and when some manufacturers were trying to use the specifications as a selling...

Here I am lost, Chetlaham: I am sure you have a quite accurate idea of how many cents such a mechanical device would cost. But I am also confused because this is a mechanical device while, if I am not wrong, we were talking about electronics. And I am pretty sure that the old mechanical...

I will not annoy you with the details, Chetlaham, but believe me: the matter is much, much, much more complex that this, and it takes really a lot of knowledge and expertise to master it. And is case you wonder, you have just raised the most complex and fundamental problem of "safety", and when...

First: electronics can be made very, very, very, very, "safe", but it is expensive and requires competence, experience and skills which are in very short supply on the market. Second: cars are meant to be cheap, not to be safe; even the standard of automotive safety, the ISO 26262, is the most...

Welcome to AutomaticWasher, Lincoln: you are without doubt the youngest member of this forum, and it's nice to have you with us
