Had an afterthougt.....
The poor spin performances of todays machines (and I can tell they really are poor) MUST be due to the fact they spend do long "profiling up to whatever'.
There is no force to get that water out.
Im convinced this spins better than Mums 1200rpm LG and Indeed the 1000rpm Hottie Previous.
Even when we had the 1300 Hoover Quattro (AA230) I expected mega dryness and didnt notice much difference in the dryer times from that shitty Candy Activa 1000 we had for all of 4 months.
It just has to be the sheer force of that hurtle up, that gets the water from the fabric to the outer drum.
And of course your Mums Hottie span at 1000 lets face it LOL.
That "30 Second burst to prevent fabric damage" to quote the sales brochure was never more than 10 seconds if that, on any of the 1100 or 1200 machines I ever saw in action.
The table at the back of the sales brochure also made me laugh with this......
WATER PERCENTAGE LEFT IN LOAD AFTER SPIN DRYING
1000rpm 65%
1100 64%
1200 63%
Mums Hottie had Intelligent Care,(your mums would have has sooper dooper Advanced Intelligent Care!) not that it ever seemed to work for the way mum loads her machine.
It was only OOB spin preventer and checked the incoming suppply of water to prevent fabric damage.
She sorts everything onto the floor and the whole load gets rammed into the machine in 3 handfuls. Then she wonders why it used to bang all over the place on spin!!!!!
I would love to see a Miele do a 1600rpm or indeed 1800rpm just going for gold from the distribute.
Im sure we would be able to create a A++ for spin drying that way.
Not that I would buy one of course....
1400rpm in my Old Zanussi was far too much for my liking and only had it because I only wear jeans out of work and wanted them to dry quicker in the winter. And towels for that matter too. Always used to use 900rpm on most things.
Just cant get my head past thinking what my parents and grandparents have always said and that is "anything above 1100 shakes the machine to pieces' ~The Hoover kinda proved that.

. If you order a motor you will get a FHP motor(one of the 3 or more versions used in WMA series machines) and a digital conversion lead. Obviously this means it wont sound the same !- best way of prolonging the life of yours is to use the reaction type carbons(ie the ones in the black holders). They are a slightly softer grade of carbon than the laminated ones and are IMO kinder to the commutator. Also its not that good an idea to replace carbons unless they need it- new ones will always have bad commutation(excessive sparking) until they bed themselves to the shape of the comm and obviously its a good idea to avoid that if possible.
