It's the same basic machine.

Great information how it works........ NOT!

If I was a consumer looking for something like this, I have to pass because of lack of detail information on how it works!

Basically used power jets which spray the clothes with wash solution, nothing entirely new there, think Whirlpool and Zanussi jet systems, but it can use less water so therefore less energy to heat the water...saving on energy and detergent costs....the 12 min wash is really only for very quick refresh. Perfect if the kids school synthetic uniforms need a quick refresh before a full wash etc..

The good thing about these machines is that they can now complete a 60d wash in 60 mins...

intressing article

the article is intressting but for me in my case it will never beat the cleaning power of a good old fashion top load washer with agitator for me 10 to 6 minute wash is more than engough for normal light soiled load

LG claims...

an even faster time for its WM8000 Turbo Washer

Pierre - everyone knows that you prefer a top loader, so you don't need to keep reminding us all of that fact. Besides, when you say 6-10 minute wash you are talking about just the wash part of the cycle yes? The 12 minute cycle is wash, rinse and spin - a gimmick, but it's there.

My friend has a new servis washing machine, and me personally, i wouldn't buy one, it takes ages to balance a load, due to the sensitive balancing sensor, it would be a nightmare to wash bath mats or a dressing gown in those machines

It should be banned

Honestly, I think All the programmes like rapid 17' 15' 14' 12' 9' should be banned.

It is one of rare bad things going on, that isn't actually required by some Eco-energylabel laws, it's a marketing gimmick, going on pretty well on parole "modern household needs less time for chores" -yeah right after pressing start button machine does all by itself, and how is it disturbing "family time and peace"?...

Although none of the people I know uses that programme EVER, I still can't believe there are some species existing on this planet that would take clothes out of the washers in such un-washed, un-rinsed state like after that cycle, and wear them afterwards.

I have the model without the jets, its actually really good with getting the clothes clean and its not frightened to use a lot of water, the OOB sensor can get fussy but that's very rare on mine that it ever does, the drum is massive and I have washed many large items in it with no problems, however, like the beko I just got rid of, the cycles are lengthy but the synthetic/daily wash(es) are pretty quick taking 1:30 for a 40*c wash and 1:40 for a 60*c wash.

I agree those ultra short cycles won't do much but, they are useful sometimes, maybe to freshen up clothes stored too long in the closet, for example. This kind of wash doesn't need the normal amount of detergent and in most cases, the load is less than half of a standard full load.

Of course, the user must have a brain instead of a pea in the head. For normal or heavy soils, this program would be unuseful.
