    Mini basket water level detection : how does it work ?

    Thank you all ! Now I get it. Have seen a Fliter Flo' and her matching dryer back in the 80ies. The local trader of GE french door fridges (sold here as luxury items) tried to push some 220 V machines without success. People in Europe can't live without internal heater (one wants really hot...

    Why a Miele?

    Also consider the "profile wash" thing adds time European made frontloaders, even Electrolux (also as Aeg and Zanussi/Rex) and Whirlpool (also as Bauknecht, Ignis, Vedette, Laden..) stop heating water when 40°C is achieved, then they wash @ this temp for 15 minutes to enhance enzimatic action...

    Mini basket water level detection : how does it work ?

    Maybe you've written it thousand times - or it is so obvious- I guess that VA toploaders have pressure switches just like frontloaders, I also guess that water overflows into the main tub while spinning I can't figure out what happens during agitation : is there any water outside the...

    Gorenje WA72145BK Washer & D72325BK Dryer review

    the meaning of that pump in the dryer is this : those who don't "enjoy" to empty the reservoir have the otion to hook the dryer to a sink or to a wall drain, as if it were a washer Also in BSH dryers - Bosch, Siemens, Neff and Balay - this water is also used to spray away lint from the self...

    My "new" Miele Toploader

    the challenge Last week I came back from Ikea with a thicker bed pillow. I threw it in the W794 and ran 3 times the "starch" cycle (actually a single rinse + spin), the first one with a bit of detergent, the last two acted as rinses. We can't say a 50x80 cm pillow (somewhat 20"x32") is the...

    Wetcleaning!!

    Hi Mieleforever, drycleaning is a process where the solvent is perc. (perchloretylen or other kinds ) carried in special frontloaders that are seamed (meaning this that solvent vapours can't excape from the machine). The soil dissolved in the solvent is removed by distillation. Some machines...

    AEG ProTex

    Affinity in Europe Roscoe, you're right : Electrolux already sells the Affinity rebadged as Rex-Electrolux (but still called "Affinity" ) on the italian market - see link-, so I'm not so surprised about it. E'lux in this case has just "customized" the american made Affinity with the typical...

    Indesit now phasing out the Ariston Name?

    just marketing tricks here in Italy -but also in many other euro countries- still there is the double brand Hotpoint-Ariston vs Ariston by itself as it was time ago. Anyway it's actually Indesit that merged into Ariston-Vittorio Merloni, not the reverse. The odd fact is that "Merloni...

    I just browsed this tiny front loader...

    Guy, I'd dare to say the seller is an italian emigrant, cause that machine is actually a Rex and not any other Zanussi badge : the clue is that ***black-on-green*** sticker on the right under the timer knob. That is the logo of IMQ Istituto Italiano Marchio Qualità Rex is a Zanussi badge for...
