The Beko technologies

Aren't that new really. My 12kg machine has Aquawave drum , Proinverter motor and a steam function and I bought it 9 months ago. Some of the features on the 8kg machine have been around on that range of Beko's for a while to. Hygiene 20 is relatively new.
 
Curious About the Candy

Chestermikeuk what is Innovation 70... I mean why 70? There's not much info about that Candy... I only found an article so far which is all in Italian (link below).

I guess all companies splash out with innovation on these kinds of exhibitions but really and truly all the technology mentioned there was already available in Candy group machines before this very model... the load recognition especially was already part of every single machine of theirs since the beginning of the millennium even in most of their BOL range. They should mention that their machines have water pressure recognition as well as almost every other non-Hoover/Candy machine I've tried in a low water pressure environment has been going into panic mode... well... maybe they'll say that at the next IFA ;)

Hoover Version of the Candy...

Here's the Hoover version of the Candy seen above which will boast a new component called TED (Textile Expert Detector), namely a scanner that recognises the fabrics inserted in the drum.

TOL Series 9000 AEG washing machine

Interesting from that AEG video they have a further series 9000 model with LCD screen I've not seen before.

Looks like it has a new ColourPro programme

Possibly could have more new features?

TED thoughts

That's right Mike... I was a little disappointed to hear that TED is a separate device... I guess it would still come handy if someone was in doubt as to what kind of fabric makes up their garments (ie if the wash label has come off or it's unreadable). That's said, I'm overall satisfied enough with the way how Hoovers in general treat different loads according to their size and absorbency: I guess all these innovations we're seen nowadays are mostly gimmicks. I do like the display and interface they're using on these machines though.
 
Miele patent policy

I think Miele chanhed their way of handling patents over the past couple of years.

I mean, they lost the patents on cutlery trays, they lost the Auto Open patent and now they even lost the glass care water bypass patent as it seems.
Weren't they once verry entitled on keeping those patents?
 
Do you mean BSH's raw water valve? They had a 2nd valve on their previous generation of dishwashers - before the ActiveWater ones we have now. So they just brought that feature back.
 
Aquarius1984

I have that machine, it's great and I've had it for 1 year and I'm jealous of you for the tumble dryer as I'd love a matching set
