IFA 2024

The WMV960/963

had brushless drain and recirculation pumps and then the WWV980 went back to the regular type according to the online parts listing.
The WMV pumps also appeared to have an inverter board behind the pumps.

Cost cutting/supply issue or complexity management?

WQ1000

I noticed in the manual shared above that most cycles on the W2 models default to 3 rinses rather than 2, even for wool, delicates, and shirts.

I assume it uses much lower water levels to maintain the load's contact with the drum.

They've also removed the 'water plus' option (extra rinse remains) and also removed 'extra gentle'.

There may be few, if any, cycles where clothes float in the water. Hopefully, they've not gone too extreme
