IFA 2016 Thread

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

There's a thread in the German forum. AEG will have SoftWater washing machines with water softener. Cooktops from AEG and BSH with a built-in downdraft. Miele will bring out a W1 washer/dryer and the bagless Blizzard vacuum (see my post in the Super forum). Whirlpool won't be at the IFA this year.
 
Miele WT1

From what I've read Miele are looking to produce 2 new washer dryers - based on the W1 line.
One (known as the XXL) has a 8Kg wash, 5KG dry, the other 7Kg wash, 4KG dry.
As well as all the normal programmes, and powerwash 2.0, twin dos, and cap dosing, they benefit from a 3hr Powerwash & dry programme for 4KG (and 5KG in just 30minutes longer).

One can also notice the sensor is smaller, giving increased visibility inside

AEG's get design upgrade

The new look combines Electrolux USA washing machines (launched earlier in the year), with the smart design expected from AEG.

Combined with OKOMix - essentially a power foam, and on the TOL models - built in water softener.

For me, the design of the machines is perfect, and one I'd happily choose over my hotpoint any day!

Bosch "Avantgarde"

While we all know about Siemens Avantgarde, which debuted at last year's ifa (and officially rolled out begining of this year), Bosch never launched an equivalent.
That is until these new machines, launched recently at Bosch China.

Though no press release has been released from Bosch, My guess is these machines could feature at IFA and bosch are keeping them under close wraps until nearer the time, but time will tell.

I certainly do hope they launch these as that dial, combined with innovative display, really looks good, and the door - impressive (I'm a fan of modern appliances like this!!)

Thanks Logixx for your input, I'm very sad to hear Whirlpool/Bauknecht/Hotpoint wont be featuring this year. I was hoping we'd see some innovations from them in regards to Hotpoint "Dialogioc" and Whirlpools "smart Home".

Is it possible for you to provide a link to the German Forum, for those interested (remembering its not English!!).

Will Haier & Panasonic be at IFA 2016?

I'm sure nearer the time, more press releases will be made and we'll see some even better innovations.
 
Whirlpool said they would alternate between IFA and EuroCucina - this year it was EuroCucina they went to. Panasonic and Gorenje will be there as well. So far, Panasonic will have fridge/freezers with colored LEDs inside to preserve vegetables better and Gorenje has new dishwashers.

Wonder if the water softner technology of the AEG works with salt, filters or somehow without any maintanace products. In any case, it is verry verry interesting to me with our hard water. And the press release makes it sounds as if they redesigned their steam cycles.

These Gorenje DW look gorgeus.

The Miele WD combo will be interesting as well, especialy usage data and the drying technology.

Does anyone know the whole DW story with the AutoOpen copy systems? I mean, Miele had that years ago, but only now manufacturers start to use it...
 
Miele washer dryer combos

Manuals avaible at least here in Germany. Models are WTF 120/130 for 7kg models, WTH 120/130 for the 7kg models with TwinDos, WTZH130 for a 8kg TwinDos model and WTZH 730 for the TOL 8kg TwinDos WiFi one, all are WPM equipped like the previous combos.

(Note: These are all I found via trial and error search on the WT model numbers according to their naming scheme.)[this post was last edited: 7/10/2016-12:34]
 
New AEG nameing scheme

Did some trial and error search on the german AEG site, and found 2 renamed ÖkoKombi washer-dryers (L9WS99ÖKO and L9WE95ÖKO) and apparently the new naming system for the FLs at least:

L (short for Lavamat)
x (number for series)
F (front load)

followed by a model number made up of numbers and letters as known, however starting with a letter (E and C seem the most common).

The most I could figure out from the one short manual that is up by now is that they now do some kind of dry load sensing simmilar to what we know from LG and companions (at least on the 8000 series and higher) and they now have an ÖkoPower cycle which sounds simmilar to PowerWash and such.
 
Miele

The washer dryers look well nice! I prefer them to the washers! One thing I dislike about my W1 and the washer dryers is the depth of the machines are slowly increasing, not just Mieles but most now. Still, Id have one any day! Will be interesting to see how they compared to their pre-decessors too, Ive used a few and I wasnt too impressed with them!

AEG's

It seems that there's now some Youtube videos from a shop showing the new AEG's.

Also announced is that Candy / Hoover will be at the IFA this year. Candy will emphasise on connected appliances and its traditional Italian values/heritage. Hoover will showcase robot vacuum cleaners.
I wonder if they'll showcase Hoovers British heritage?? Probably not though.
