Malcolm,
Cool looking laundry pair. When it comes to laundry equipment, you choose the champagne of tumblers.

Sweet!
Electrolux!
Wow Malcolm this is awsome - I have a feeling these new units will out sell LG and Samsung and probably also steel speed queen in sales due to the price difference!
I like the simplicity in the controls the Electrolux has compared to the others.
Best Of Luck with them,
Peter

I wish casuals had hot wash as an option rather than just steam option for warm. Warm with steam on my Duet, for comparable cycle, is noticeably cooler than when hot wash temp is selected.

Wow
I envy you that pair.
It seems like they corrected most of the bugs of EIFLS60 - rinse levels below the drum, just recirculated, on all cycles; spins between all rinses only on Allergen and Sanitize; fast redistribution; redundant "touch-to-open".
How does it fill for warm? Hot first, then dumb down with cold? If it mixes from the beginning, I envy you even a bit more!

Casuals and Colors
I use the Colors cycle instead of Casuals. So the temp is not limited.
It is difficult to tell how the temp mixing works as the water doesn't flow into the drum directly.
It does appear changing the soil level to Max alters more than just the wash time.
The longest wash cycle is listed at 199 minutes. Although, that is the hinges number the machine can display.

A few questions when you have time, Malcolm:
1) Which cycles allow you to choose the sanitize water temp and how much time does it add to the cycle?
2) How much time does the steam option add to a cycle?
3) What does the 'wrinkle release' option do?
That's a sharp-looking set! Love the color.

Malcolm, I know its a new work week..When you get to it would love to see it wash. If there are stain options one would think warm would fill with cold first (blood or grass stains) then top off with hot to create warm? It seems to be really advanced. A

Answers...
Sanitary temp is available in heavy duty, whitest whites, and normal.
The amount of time added depends on cycle. Normal 30min, ww 52min, HD 4min.
Steam adds 20min, unless you have selected sani temp.
Wrinkle release adds 10 min of dry tumbling after final spin to fluff up the clothes.

Wash video
My HD camera is dead. So video will be courtesy of cellphone. Which also means it will be brief.
I'll see if I can capture some wash action next time I run it.

Congrats on the new machines...
Hi Malcolm.
I have the 70 series washer and dryer that have just past their one year old mark.
Over 250 washes (tracked by suggested clean cycle every 50 washes).
I've read that the Pre-wash doesn't drain and spin before going into the main wash program, is that true? Does it just go into the main wash without draining and spinning (like the 60/70 does)?
I also don't like how it doesn't tell you what part of the cycle it's on. Like it doesn't say it's Pre-washing, Rinsing, Washing, Draining, Spinning, Adding Steam...etc (like the 60/70 does). So you don't know where in the cycle it is.
Along with what you like...what don't you like? I know the cycle times are way longer.
I really love my Electrolux 70 series washer and dryer.
Would love to see videos of your 6xx.
All the best with the Elux's.

Progress Lights
Okay. I am learning a little.
There are six progress LEDs underneath the countdown timer. Here is what I think they mean...
1. Load Sense / Stain Soak
2. Steam
3. Washing
4. Wash Spin
5. Rinse
6. Final Spin
Led 2 gets skipped, so I am assuming it represents steaming. Idk for sure, though.

You could start a Spin Only cycle and see if the LEDs jump to the last one immediately.

ELUX Set
Still learning all the caveats around these machines. The cycles aren't set in stone like the previous SQ machines. Working on a couple videos. Stay tuned.
