Leave Our Washers Alone!!

[thomasortega]

It reminds me the best FL washer ever made by Electrolux
LE750
the largest cycle is 2 hours (pre wash, whitest whites and 5 rinses)
Water level is excellent, the capacity is small (5 kg) but enough to wash king size comforters.
The only contra is the spin speed, only 750 rpm, but for a 40 years old project, it´s fantastic.
This washer was discontinued in Brazil 1 year ago and many people miss it.
Hehehe i have mine and i´ll never sell it.

kirk280980,

I have to agree the Aqualtis wash gets the water usage spot on. It's not wasteful, but it's not stingy. It's certainly 'Deeply different' to quote the slogan.
It's still an A,A,A rated machine!!

Hi mrx,

I take it you have an Aqualtis too? It really is a cracking machine, very well thought out and unbelievably quiet too. Hopefully it will prove to be reliable in the long term, but time will tell on that one.

Now all they have to do is bring out a matching dryer!

 

[MrX]

Yeah, so far it seems like a really nicely engineered machine. I have the silver 1600rpm version.

It's really improved Hotpoint/Ariston's reputation and really has absolutely no relationship to the Hotpoint machines of the last decade +. It's a high end Ariston.

Good news Kirk & MRX,
If they get their finger out at indesitcompany, the tumble dryer is due out the end of this year!

To date I haven't heard of any Aqualtis horror stories, and the online reviews from actual users appear to be overwhelmingly positive. That's no guarantee of course, but it's a good start. The fit and finish of the machine is good, and it does run very smoothly... so yes, nothing at all like the later WM and WMA Hotpoints!

Good news about the dryer too, will be sure to check those out when the time comes. Any idea if there will be a vented model, or are we just looking at condensers only?

 

[newwave1]

Only a condenser for the moment!

 

[MrX]

What's with the fixation on condensers?

They're terrible!

 

[newwave1]

Well from a sales point of view, They can be placed anywhere. Opens up to more people.

They dont half kick out some heat!

Vented tumble dryers are fine if one has a wall opening for the vent, or can make one. Many parts of Europe, such as Paris for instance forbid cutting holes into outside walls hence condenser dryers and those "portable" air conditioners that have hoses one sticks out of window, or worse collects water in a drip pan.

If you own your own home,or modern buildings things may be different, but you simply cannot go around making holes in 100, or even 200 year old buildings, well at least not in Paris.
