For those who asked, here goes the first Mueller Special's video.
This video was made to show that the machine is so easy to be used that could even be used by a 12 year old children.
I'm sorry because it was made only in portuguese. As soon as possible, more videos will be posted, including some in English explaining all of it's details and features.
Two nights ago I've made another video vith an overload test. The machine is rated 7kg (considering the brazillian standards) but I washed 14kg of rugs.
More things that I can comment after several weeks using this machine more than 10 hours/day:
1) The 12-minute 800rpm spin is surprisingly excellent. (it can almost be compared to Frigidaire Affinity's 1100 rpm extraction)
2) My machine is the serial number 00001. The very first unit leaving the production line. It doesn't have intermediate spins, only neutral drains between the rinses. I loaded it full capacity with towels and added a whole scoop (the big green one) of Tide regular powder. The wash was full of suds but the final rinse was clear. (no softener used) This machine uses water enough for excellent rinses, no matter what kind of detergent is used.
3) It's distribution is the best I've ever used. The machine never skips a spin and no matter what load, it never takes more than 12 seconds to start spinning. (even loaded with only one very heavy and water absorbent sweater). The machine doesn't use a tachometer to detect if the load is balanced or not. It has several multi-directional accelerometers that detect the machine's vibrations instead. If the top of the machine reaches certain vibration levels, it aborts the spin immediatelly and restarts the distribution routine. The worst unbalanced load aborted and restarted the spin 4 times and took only 2 minutes more than the estimated time.
The remaining time display also recalculates and it almost always shows the real time to finish the cycle. The biggest mistake it has done until now was reaching 00:00 during half of the final fluff. (less than a minute mistake)
4) The 100% plastic cabinet is also great. It helps improving the flexibility. During the beginning of unballanced spins, the top of the machine shakes and vibrates, but nothing annoying. The machine has never walked, under any circunstance.
The machine has no recirculation pump but, considering that the water reaches 1 inch below half of the drum on the back, there's plenty of water to soak the whole load.
The drying is unconventional and it's a Mueller's exclusivity. It mixes venting and condensation. It has a condenser that uses no water to dry and some of the air is exausted through the gap on the quick access door. Other manufacturers has used this before, but never with that airflow and exaust percentual. Drying times are really fast.
This machine is rated 4kg for drying (7kg wet load load). This is the rated capacity for best performance drying without wrinkles. I've been drying full 7kg loads and they dry (after that I transfer the loads to the Affinity dryer and run the wrinkle release cycle.)
Enjoy!
