Has anybody seen or used Dyson FL Washer?

Here's a Link to see them wash

I was fascinated by the dual tumbler and think it's ashame that they will never be marketed in the US. I actually think that they would have sold well here.

OH! WHAT A TWIST!

I do not want imagine how might clothes are twisted at the end of the wash-cycle!!! Perhaps the rinse cycle (generally with more water) untwists them before the spin, otherwise how many wrinkles :-O

I noticed yet the difference between my FL and my h-axis TL: in the first one I found sheets and bulky items twisted and the end, but the same load in my TL doesn't... maybe I overloaded FL, but don't think so, more probably because in the FL the bottom of the drum rotates and the lid doesn't, while in the TL both of the sides of the drum rotate...

Looking at the video I noticed that clothes don't tumble exactly, but rise external in both sides and fall in the center...

Any way, it's a tumbling wash! And that's all ))

Good Bye

As mentioned before, the Dyson only contrarotates for about 5 or 10 minutes in the wash cycle. During the rest of the wash, and during the rinses, the drums just lock together and tumble like a normal frontloader so I would imagine that clothes wouldn't be too twisted at the end of teh cycle.

Like I said, nice idea, but it's just solving a problem that just isn't there.
