Hi every one,
what are your views on the dyson 2 drums?

i think it's the best i've ever had and seen because it's massive and it washes all my clothes perfectly not a stain left even if i put it on the dirt cycle, i mostly tend to put it on the dirt and stains cycle at 40-60 degrees. The spin performance is best as the clothes are so dry, i know this because me and my friend have the same dryer and he's also got a 1400 rpm washer but my clothes dried 20 minutes bfore his and they were similar clothes.
Unbelievable but true!
 
Welcome to the Disscuss-O-Mat. Are you talking about the Dyson Controtator? You should ask the user named 2DrumsAllergy. He owns 2 Contrarotator machines, the CR01 Memory model and the CR02 Allergy model. There is also a CR02 Flowcheck model. Could you video a full cycle of the machine?
 
hi,
mine is the cr02 flowcheck white model.
About the video, I haven't got a camera at the moment as ithas broke, i'll do a video when i get one.
i'll inform on the forum wheni do the video.

thanks
 
Sure sounds like a fun machine, I hope that you will post a picture of it when you can. Thanks
 
Welcome

Hi dyson2drums,
Welcome to Automaticwasher.org.

I have two wonderful Dyson washers, a CR01 Memory and a CR02 2-Drums Allergy. They definitely outwash ordinary single drum front loaders and the cycle times are very fast without compromising on wash performance or load size. I agree with you about the spin performance which I feel is due to a number of factors; the large drum diameter gives greater G-Force, firstly the huge number of micro holes, the large surface area of the drum and lastly the long spin duration 6-7 minutes at top speed on Cottons cycles. The only machine that compares with my Dyson's spin performance is my 1800RPM Miele W3985WPS.

I hope to make a video of the CR02 over the holiday period, if I get peace to do it.

Hi Folks,
I'm making a video of the Dyson CR02 2-Drums Allergy washing a 7Kg load of colour-fast cottons at 60°C. Its recording as I type this and hopefully it will turn out OK. I will upload it to YouTube! as soon as I can.

Dyson Videos

Hi Folks,
Well I done a video late last night; I set the camera up and started recording then pressed the start button on the Dyson and went to bed. Unfortunately a few minutes later my Mum got up and went to the toilet, she noticed the kitchen lights on and thinking I had forgotten to turn them off she switched them off. As a result I have recorded two minutes of the cycle and the rest is in total darkness lol.

Sorry about that.

I will do another video later tonight and this time Mother has been warned not to turn the lights off.

I will let everyone know when the videos are on YouTube!

That will be easy considering you will most likely be staying up for New Year's. Well, I'm STILL looking forward to it. I guess you and I both know how parents are now.

Great vid of the Dyson. It looks pretty rough on the laundry. Does it damage the load at all? Not sure I would want to put delicate stuff in the contrarotaing drum.

There are loads of these washers on Ebay which makes me wonder if they are not that popular. Am I right in thinking that have stopped manufacturing them?

Hi 2DrumsAllergy

Your CR02 is exactly like mine but mine is the flowcheck version and yours is the allergy model, the cycles are the same.
I am very glad you and I appreciate this washing machine, they clean clothes very well aswell as rinse and extract water as it is AAA!
Thanks for the videos!

Hi This washing machine is amazing it cleans the clothes in the fastest time giving the cleanest wash with a large load and one thing it has never damaged clothes such as beaded tops because there are delicates cycles handwash cycles so no worries and plus there is a special duvet cycle!
Yes Dyson have stopped manufacturing them but they still service them!
I wouldn't really say they are unpopular because some of those on ebay are second hand washers, badly used washers or just broken washers but sometimes there can be a good washer once in a while.
By the way the fast contrarotation is only for cottons/synthetics cycles.
I would not give this washer up until it breaks down which it never has! VERY RELIABLE!
Thanks everyone.
 
Hi all

Thanks for taking the time to do this David. I know how long it can take, especially if yo want to do them properly. I will have a look later when I am home from work.

Wow! Great videos! I guess you're right. I shouldn't be asking for videos. If I just wait, peoploe will upload videos and I don't have to nag them. Those are great videos. Do you have ones of the rinse uploading as I type? Your washer is pretty...interesting. It makes an interesting sound that sounds like a blender and a girl screaming. I will comment more on the washer after I'm done watching the videos.
 
Wow! Those WERE great videos. But I have some questions as to how the machine works. I saw the machine actually does not Contrarotate esclusively like I thought it did. It starts out by doing normal back and forth tumbling and it ends that way too. During those times it sounds like a normal Front-Loader. Does it Contrarotate during rinse? How does the rinse action work? Do you have videos of the rinse cycle? Is 1100 R.P.M the fastest spin speed the machine has? When I saw the interim spin stop, the clothes were still stuck to the walls. Does the machine do normal tumbling or Contrarotating to get them fluffed? Did a dryer match for this machine come out? I heard it did and it used the same cyclonic technology as Dyson vacuums instead of a lint filter to get rid of lint. Which cycle was that on the videos? How long does the cycle last? Did this machine ever come to the U.S.A.? What is the difference between the CR02 Flowcheck and The CR02 Allergy and what is the "Memory" in CR01 Memory? Is the memory the only version of the CR01? Sorry if that seems like a lot of questions, but I'm curious.
 
The Dyson's top spin speed was 1400rpm.

There never was a Dyson Tumble Drier actually produced, though there was 'gossip' of one being designed.

The 'Memory' versions were basically the same machines , but with user memory to store favourite programmes with options.
 
Funguy

OK THIS IS PROP NOT THE PLACE TO BE SAYING THIS BUT Mr FUNGUY?????,YOU A ARE A TWIT AND VERY ANNOYING, TAKE A HINT.
 
Funguy10: You annoy everone with demanding videos. How about YOU make some?

2DrumsAllergy: WOW great videos. Very big thanks for you making the videos. Its interresting when it begin with the contrarotation you hear a special sound from the machine. These machines was also sold here in Sweden, but only through special import. They were extremly expensive. I couldnt afford buy one, i bought a Siemens instead. Sadly the Siemens broke down totally after 2 and a half years use. I then bought an Elektro-Helios that (so far) works perfect.
