That's really impressive, really. It's that typical roulette play where even a TOL appliance can be a dud - or in reverse, an "average" appliance can outlast any expectations. Amazing thing is that there still is nothing considerably "better" (be it feature or efficiency wise) in that class...

The T8001WP is COMPLETELY different to the W1. That's still a TwinPower dryer. 8 bath towels - depending on size - come out to (usually) no more than 8-10lbs, 5kg max. They are fluffy, but not terribly heavy. Further towels do dry pretty slowly regardless of dryer type. Again: 9kg is something...

I know certain EU combos use the drying heater for heating (certain newer BSH models, specifically). Don't understand why this couldn't - it wouldn't be very effective, but certainly faster than 1300W. Or why the electric model doesn't use 240V for washing heating - it would be some design work...

I mean, yeah, that was an obvious next step - really not sure why I never thought of that. Given they have the space for a complete heat pump system in that base machine, just chucking in a normal heater and maybe a bit larger fan isn't terribly hard to do. Would be curious as to how well that...

That's a new one to me... My first guess would be a problem with the pressure switch or the related control. If the machine senses a water level that's to high that might trigger a drain. Same might be the case with sudsing. There are many things LG machines somehow don't show error codes for.

Let's assume your washer or DW pulls 1W standby power. So 1000h is 1kWh. That's almost 6 weeks. A typical DW load uses just about 1kWh. Tell me ANY appliance that is plugged in constantly and only used once or twice in 6 weeks. Standby usage is real - but damn are you grasping at straws if...

You're absolutely right - totally missed how it's a wide angle spray kind of like the last gen Panasonic machines...

Typical, heavier cottons loads aren't really an issue. LG has that "speed bump" kind if design in the new machines and as long as laundry is heavy enough to have enough friction between drum and itself, the centrifugal forces are enough to lift the laundry up enough to at least tumble the loads...

I usually no longer chime into this kind of thread on here - but I'm already in a "picking fights" mood (even at work - rightfully so though), so what... "Water running out isn't an issue here" really encapsulates the issue with such discussions. It's not bad here, so how can it be a problem at...

How I envy tall tub DWs. I took those cup shelfs out of any DW I ever had. Just couldn't fit anything useful there with a third rack. That's one thing I love about tier 1 EU wash systems: If water can get there, it'll usually get clean. Something about the low water plus good filtering and...

I always found Woolite products over here to have a very specific smell that I loved. But finding them has become a challenge. And ordering through Amazon is very dear in most cases...

That rubber mat is part #0261 on the drawings and is basically glued to the inside of the front door and just hangs behind the bottom plinth #0673. All it does is keeping anything out from between the door and the plinth when the door is opended and to act as part of the noise isolation. You...

That's basically a rubber skirt ment to bridge any gap between the front and the plith at the bottom. It's usually ment to dampen some noise and to minimise any risk of getting anything cought in there like fingers. As long as you don't have any small children playing with the machine and the...

The main reason I would be careful to trust a repair persons point of view on which machines need the most repairs is observation bias. They know which are easy and cost effective to repair and where getting parts is easy. They might even know what breaks in which machine. But there's a very...

I mean, it's not something new that any version of the VMW can fail early. They did from day one, for one reason or another. I don't think they do so more now than they did then. And there's still like a pretty large number of people who have their machines 5+ years without an issue. You just...

The multiple suds bath isn't all that up to date. Over here, you just scale heating power. Further you reduce balancing time and rinsing time. Add some VERY strong detergents. And depending on machine size multiple inlet valves (keep in kind if a single bath is 20gal plus, actual fill times...

Now there's something interesting. In the footnotes, Miele claims that even Eco 40-60 in conjunction with their TwinDos detergent supposedly reaches "qualified hygiene standards", an so does QPW 60°. But the videos show quite effectively why they need a bedding cycle for the washer now. All...

QuickPowerDry says it can do 4kg in 49min. That's about in line with other similar systems (like Arceliks 5kg in 1h). Extrapolated from that, 9kg would take something just shy of 2h. My VZug claims to do 7kg in about 90min on its speed setting, which again, seems about in line. I don't think...

Keep in mind those times are from 1000rpm. Going to 1600rpm will save about 25% of time, bring you down to 3h or there abouts. At 9kg that's still reasonably fast. The old cycle list still states 3h ish for the 1600rpm normal dry, and extra dry is still just a few minutes more than Normal. And...

Keep in mind most Miele machines with an FU motor up until the W1 (think Softtronics, Navitronics, EU W1xxx/W4xxx and the like) could be reprogrammed up to 2000rpm. The W1 my (now ex) partner had was also allowing 1800rpm in the programming menu.
