I think there is a bit of nuance to that. First off, of course, every fibre is different. 20lbs of towels has a different volume compared to 20lbs of T-Shirts. But further, there is certainly a degree where stuff like programming and design can offset the drum volume to load size relationship. A...

Would have guessed tumbling would be less intensive to reduce noise - and in turn, you'd add some time. But if even Interim spins and final spin are the same - yeah don't really get that...

This week, I used the delicates cycle. While I would not trust that with Silks like it claims, it's not as terrible as some say, at least in my view. I don't get why it tumbles THAT vigorously, and only 2 rinses by default without interim spins is a bit disappointing. But it at least offers a...

I still really love the dryer. It's really the go to recommendation for me from now on. I haven't dried a pillow yet - but it is surprisingly good at sensing, nothing so far has let me down particularly. I tried the Wool cycle this week and was surprised it reverses every 5min as well. Would...

No, that Samsung is a Samsung. The F&P is the Haier Design. The LG HP combo is the only one that hasn't crossed the pond in any way yet. The US general review is that both can perform well. The Samsung can dry a bitter better in general according to reviews, but the F&P has a full detergent...

Here the few pictures I took:

This is Siemens first A-class dryer, with a completly new base design. TL;DR: If you don't plan on using VarioSpeed all to frequently and can live with 3h drying times, I don't think you'll find a better dryer. The "nerd" review: Quality is - as with the washer - as good as you'd expect. The...

So, I had a very extensive wash day with this machine. TL;DR: For most people, this machine would be a great upper end choice. I do think iDos would be worth the money. It is amazingly quiet up to the final spin. It washes very well and rinses just fine. Cycles are on the longer side, but there...

@vacerator My post was (obviously) a reply to @simpsonencore 's post 😅 Context matters, and I think assuming somebody would read the thread in chronological order isn't far fetched...

To be fair: That's called comfort rewind because you don't have to hold the button down during rewind - you press it once, the entire cord rewinds.

3gal really is only reasonably well achievable with water reuse systems - but even these have faded from the EU market. Most Eco cycles now say about 8-10l (2.2-2.6 gal) and while those cycles do deliver OK performance, the cycles really do have their limits. The Technology Connections saga...

Never had that connection - but yeah, there's a specific paragraph what you can call cycles now. Same with washers btw - that's why Bekos Daily Quick is no longer called Daily Quick, or why their "Quick&Shine" change name. And yes, ComfortWash and ComfortWash+ really do harp back to Mieles...

Huh, I was under the impression, those WP diverters had a bunch more options. I stand corrected, sorry for that!

I think they will probably be happy with that. I'd recommend to make sure the settings are adjusted so that the automatic door opening is activated in every cycle - it's only on in Eco by default. Increases the cycle time somewhat, but should be worth it!
