Haier has been doing that pretty much globally. Where they bought manufacturing capability, they took what was good, and kept using that, extending that by what ever they had to offer. For example, they took the H-axis TL design from Candy/Hoover for their own as the did not have a design...

The UK version say's "adjusted drum rotation" which doesn't specifically say drum speed. Same goes with the German versions. In Gorenje machines, that specifically means they reverse. Actually, the Australian system specifically states that they do

They *should* reverse, at least in some cycles. Asko was owned by Gorenje which in turn is now owned by Hisense (if I got that the right way around). So, the modern Asko dryers that have a bedding cycle should reverse like the Gorenje ones. I haven't used a Gorenjes Bedding cycle - but there...

That specific model is highly recommendable I would say. You get the big drum, all the options you need plus a few quite useful cycles and the full load size sensing. As long as you get a decent price on it, it should really be a good deal. The website listing for this is quite weird though. It...

Do you by any chance have the exact model number from the ratings plate? There are a bunch of "5000 series" AEGs from basically the last 20 years which can hugely differ in programming and overall construction.

Miele has split that process into two phases. The first flushes in the brine to the resin at the end of a cycle (either at the beginning of the drying phase or there about). Assumption is that with the drying cycle and probably no other cycle being run consecutively, there will be enough time to...

With frequency and pitch of the sound, I would point towards the springs. It's more of a metal-on-metal sound. Could be the dampers too. Or, if they are on pedestals, maybe something in conjunction with that. Less likely would be the shaft seal protecting the bearings from water ingression...

Media-Saturn (my once employer) offers 14 days of returns, extended to 28 days if you are part of their members program (MediaMarkt club or what ever the Saturn equivalent is). If it's an online order, getting them to take the return is much more easy, the process just takes longer. Getting a...

The simple rebuttal to that is: Solid State usually outlives anything mechanically moving. And where is the truth? Somewhere in the middle. A well designed and speced electronic control will always outlive a cheap cost cut mechanical timer. SQs electronics have proven mostly highly reliable...

Is that one of the more recent G5000 series with the filter in the middle of the sump - so like the G7000 series? And does it have AutoOpen? My (pretty early) G7000 has the Miele typical 2 stage regeneration. At the end of the final rinse, my starts the fan as it drains. If it needs to...

Yes, that's what they were designed for. They fit in a standard width slot for built in appliances, so your ovens, steamers, microwaves. They are available in 2 heights - full and reduced, so for 60cm and 45cm heights. The lower height models basically eliminate the upper rack seen on this...

First post on the new interface - hope this looks ok in the end... Every few years I go on holiday with my mum. We usually rent out a flat in a costal town on the north sea coast where my family has been going since basically the dawn of time. I would lie if I didn't say I was drawn to this...

The technical manual for that range of DWs is available online. https://www.manualslib.com/products/Miele-G-5605-9508907.html It describes the "magic" of Mieles SensorDry feature pretty well. Since it uses ambient air as cooling medium for condensation and only has the final rinse heat as...

Out of the blue, this just showed up, ready to be shipped: https://www.lg.com/de/waeschepflege/trockner/rt18vt/ Now, it's actually kind of impressive. In the Eco rating cycle, the usage is pretty much linear. It's rated at 18kg (close to 40lbs!) so 9kg is a half load. At half load, it's pretty...

Saw some earlier this year - but now there's just a bunch that's really weird. When Whirlpool aquired Indesit/Hotpoint, they hybridizing was pretty straight forward - laundry mostly Hotpoint, with some Whirlpool holdovers (like the dryer drums). We have examples where a manufacturer churns out...
