Thank you for the explanation — very interesting! Personally, I’ve found that the best balance of thorough cleaning, gentleness, and minimal wrinkling comes from a large drum filled to a maximum of two-thirds capacity, with a spin speed of around 800–1000 rpm. For optimal washing, clothes need...

My bad I have just checked the Big Foot models specifications. But now I am even more confused with the information that in the parts list in only shows one heater but 2 spaces / ports for heater. So what is the point of the Big Foot models? Bigger drum volume but same „kg capacity“ as the...

Disappointed so far and observing other market player like Haier or V-Zug. V-Zug will introduce soon a drum with 6 lifters that also act as balancing system. Asko has further improved their User Interface in their newest line up, wondering if they will provide more shorter washing cycles...

Hi Logixx, yes it is my channel. I got problems with the automatic dosing detergent compartment. When using powder detergent, even small amount, water is dripping and even flowing out the drawer. Must be a capillary effect. Foam control especially during spin is not working properly, foam is...

High Process Temperature I have not measured the process temperature (have to get proper tool to do), but using the KI-Smart/Automatic program with low temperature has dried a mixed load of t-shirts and sportswear very evenly without creasing, shrinking or deforming the cotton items. My cotton...

Haier X Series 11 I got the Haier X Series 11 Tower. It has replaced a V-Zug V4000 washing machine (with extra program package, so almost a V6000 without the heat pump) and a V2000 dryer. The dryer is excellent, so much quieter than V-Zug or Miele Passion. It is faster and touch and feel is...

It does add an extra rinse I have 3 V-Zug Adora V4000 installed. At least the two I regularly use do add an extra rinse when using the „sprint“ mode and excess foam has been detected in first rinse. It does even indicate: excess foam, program extended or something like that. However, my Adora...

Go for Schulthess Hi Tom I used to have a Schulthess Spirit XLI and then the V-Zug Adora SLQ as the daily drivers at my parents home. Then I switched to Miele W1 Passion. My mother, who is using the machine most, would always choose Schulthess or V-Zug over Miele, in fact I will need to get...

Swiss Washing Machine Schulthess Spirit and topLine washing machines are excellent! By far, Schulthess has the fastest washing machines for domestic sage if connected to 400 Volt, but even with 230 Volt very fast. Washing and rinsing performance is very good, rinsing became better with this...

Drying Time I have the same dryer and a very full load of 8 kg towels spun out at 1600 rpm will take around 1h 30min with Quick option selected on „cupboard dry plus“. This I consider quite fast for a domestic appliance.

SteamFinish Depending on the cycle selected it adds 18 to 25 minutes. It will normally dispense the rinse aid in the final rinse (maybe a bit less, as well there is automatic detection of rinse aid needed, so you do not ned to set any level of rinse aid, but there is also option to adjust)...

Pretty sure... ... that this got implemented. Washing towels (very absorbing) vs. same amount in kg of sheets (less absorbing), as far as I could observe, Miele (W5000 or 3000) would use a different amount of water. However, not that impressed with rinsing performance on Mieles before W1 line...

Milky Water and Miele I have been using my Miele G 7590 SCVi K2O AutoDos more than one year (I even bought it in Germany, since they were later available in Switzerland). Previously I have used a Miele G 6995 SCVi K2O and for a very long time a 45cm width basic Siemens (from 2005) as well as...

V-Zug Adorina aka Beko True that Henene4, it was V-Zug who had been blaimed for wrong customer information in their brochure. The issue was with the Adorina, the budget line of V-Zug. These Adorinas 20 years ago have been sourced from AEG, afterwards, about 10 year ago, from...

Modern construction Usually in new built houses (at least in Switzerland there are high requirements) the waterpipes for hot water are insulated and washing machines are usually placed close to the hot water tank in the basement, therefore cooling of water is not a really big issue. If the...
