Electrolux washers

[westyslantfront]

Hi Larry. Back in July, I bought Whirlpool Duet to wash king size bedding. It works ok but sometimes, I open detergent drawer and stick hose in to add water to the tub.

Robert,

I do the same thing!
It just does not get the king size comforter completely wet the way I like it, so I add water through the detergent draw just like you.
I only do this for the wash cycle. Rinsing is fine at the present.......

It looks like it took all fall to get to this point!
The Run System Clean Cycle has been uploaded to YouTube.

Right now I'm at work working on the rinse cycle, so sometime tomorrow I will upload the balance of this cycle.

I think I will be late for my own funeral.....

This is just the spin cycle and what was in the load....

Yesterday I needed to wash my sheets and mattress pad because I have a boil on my thigh which drained onto my sheets and pad.
I've done a profile wash as Ms. Laundress recommends, so I've set the washer on the sanitary cycle and manually filled the machine with cold water
and added Tide He powder and bleach. The wash cycle too close to 4 hour to complete because around these parts, the water temp is freezing,
so it took forever to heat the water to 154*.

And I do ask......., was it worth it?
YES!!!! No blood, nor pus remained and I did not pre-treat!

I'm Done! Final rinse in action......

This is the last and final videos on the Wave Touch.
Thanks for allowing me to share and making a decision on purchasing one.

Something Old

Something new!

Going back in time and wow the machine is still running strong with 2 minor problems.
Ripped boot that has not been replaced yet at the 10 O Clock mark and the push clip for the detergent draw is broken but does not effect function.

The new thing that is not mentioned in the manual is that the tub clean cycle can be used anytime if we look through the option cycle on the machine instead of waiting 50 cycles!

Nice that LUX hid this from us common peoples!

I seriously considered one of these when I was looking for a new machine two years ago, but the thing that made me shy away from them was the slant tub design. I just don't like it, somehow. What it supposed to do, anyway?

Then I watched the videos of this washer on youtube. I noticed someone commented they couldn't tell if they were watching the dryer or the washer because there was almost no difference between the two while they were in operation, i.e. no water or even droplets on the glass...can these be tweaked to use more water like their Frigidaire cousins?

 

[cleanteamofny]

The tilt in the tub prevent coins and small socks entering the outer basket so there are no traps to clean monthly.

And no need to tweak them, they use the right amount of water according the load except comforters.

Concentrated detergent in the least amount of clothes equals cleaner loads.
It takes time to get used to the low water usage but the results are wonderful.
My nephew uses my machine and I will take time to teach him how to wash his clothes properly so the whites does not turn grey.
10 Shades of grey.....
I wished I took a photo of the before pictures.
This is what they looked after I super treated them!

CleanteamofNY...

I miss your Electrolux vid's.
Any new videos in the near future?

Supposedly the new line of Electrolux washers/dryers are due out this winter.
Electrolux wanted to focus on their cooking line this summer (yet I haven't seen any advertising).

 

[logixx]

I wonder what their new line will be like. Lux made the largest washer/dryer for a while, but I suppose they won't top Samsung's 5.6 washer and 9.5 dryer. Am also wondering, if they'll bring out their energy-efficient dryer concept.

 

[cleanteamofny]

I don't think the dryers can be as efficient as they are now unless they use low heat long vacuum section between heating cycles. When drying my active ware clothing, I use the air setting for 50 mins and they are dried or I choose to hang them up if not in a hurry.

Bigger is not better for a washer but must a must for a dryer except when only doing small loads and the space is wasted!
