Dryer drum + lifter

Well... it couldn't have changed a great deal... the paddles are exactly the same as the ones in my 2012 dryer... however those patterns in the drum are new. Shame they didn't built a shiny drum like those in some other brands.

What I mostly love about the dryer though is the way it operates... all those funny shapes and patterns are just sales gimmicks in my opinion ;-)
 
Infinity Drum

Wow Craig, Thank you very much for the picture! :)

Finally Candy stopped having plain dryer drums :D I hope it will produce good results :)

What is the model number of the machine you you took picture from? :)

like the updated Candy's, I'm sure they'll sell well like they do. I've seen on YouTube that with the Aquamatics, they spin anti-clockwise as opposed 2 the usual clockwise spin on the larger models, I'm not sure of the reasoning behind this but maybe they use different programmers, perhaps nrones will know more about this, I hope clockwise spin doesn't disappear from Hoover-Candy's lol :)

Will get you the model number of the vented sensor Dryer on Tuesday. Here is the pic of a Grando Evo 8kg 1200 spin Washer, what a lovely machine & with a much better & heavier door design. I love it !!!

Dishwashers updated as well

video says it all ;) One of my friends that alrady has 15place setting baskets did this even without those new adittions, although I think those plates were 33.5 not 35cm ;)

Video says it all:

 
That Dishwasher isn't so great - looks a bit flimsy too when the door opened. still I like the bottom plate rack blue things that move to fit the plate inside.

Hoover/Candy Claim you can fit 15 place settings in, yet they only show 8 large plates, plus an additional plate, that's 9, of which they can all fit inside a Slimline Bosch Logixx, alongside 9 bowls, which weren't shown inside the dishwasher in the video.

It would be interesting to see if 15 place settings actually can fit inside with a video to show it all, that's 15 plates, 15 bowls, 15 saucers/side plates, 15 cups/mugs, 15 wine Glasses/glasses/platic beakers/plastic bottles. Plus 15 knives 15 forks 15 spoons & 15 tea spoons. Plus a Large oven tray/serving Dish/Large Saucepan.
If that can't fit that all in, then its technically not 15 according to a local press article which shows how even a 12 place setting dishwasher by Hotpoint could actually only hold 11, and a 13 place setting Bosch Exxcel could only hold 12, yet a Miele 12 place setting dishwasher, actually held more.

Another thing I don't get is, why only an LED Digital display, why not LCD which actually shows the programme name written on it? would be much simpler.

Has this one got that spray thing they introduced to Hoover on the bottom rack which sprays pans?

Who's photo is that? They certainly don't sell Hoover Deluxe dryers in Local independent retailers!

Aristocrat models aren't available in all Independent local retailers, only Euronics stores, something to consider, as my local store isn't offering them, then I realised its an independent local but it's not Euronics its privately owned.

Meanwhile the range that the extended guarantee is available on is pretty limited, the higher end models with 10KG load and LCD display only have 1 year guarantee.
I guess there's still a 5 years Parts only guarantee with these 3 years full guarantee models?
 
Glenfield,

Euronics stores are independent retailers, Euronics is the name given to the buying group and is a franchise, much like Spar or Nisa corner shops.

 

Have you got a link to the local press article about the place settings?  Would certainly be an interesting read, especially for a local article.

It was in Glenfield Gazette some months ago (I think 1-2 years ago Leicester Mercury did something similar too as they teamed with Which? to do an article about dishwashers), I no longer have it though I will send them an Email and see if there is a response.

It was in the Agony Aunt type section, where people ask questions. Many questions were asked- 1 laundry related, and 1 dishwasher related, both responses were very in depth, some more than others, the questions went over 3 pages. Its a shame they no longer have the Q&A (agony Aunt type thing in it any more).

Someone asked why is the fluff in the dryer after drying black laundry dark blue? (response along the lines of Dark laundry is actually dyed in very dark blue dye to get the black colour, and washing has caused some of the blue dye to come out and mix with the water making it lighter in colour so you can see blue instead of black)
And then at the very bottom someone said what does place settings mean in a dishwasher.
The response went along the lines of "- each place settings hold 1 plate, 1 bowl, 1 saucer/side plate, 1 cup/mug, 1 wine Glass/plastic beaker/baby bottle/Average drinking glass, 1 knife 1 fork, 1 spoon & 1 tea spoon. So a 12 place setting should hold 12 of the items listed above, plus a large pan/saucepan/serving dish.
They went on to say that some dishwashers claim they hold 12, 13, 14 place settings when actually they don't, or manufacturers place settings are worked out differently."
They then went on to different brands and said how many they actually hold, they mentioned 2 Bosch's, the 13 & 14 models, with the 13 actually only holding 12, but the 14 holding 14? they spoke about AEG, Hotpoint and Miele also.
They finally said something like - don't buy online until you've actually seen the product, and whats on the inside, it could be smaller than you think.

I wrote down the list of items to make up one place settings, as I wanted to try in my Neff. I managed to get it all in, but couldn't fit the pan in! (Guessing my 7 coke glasses and 5 wine glasses were bigger than what they call average)!

If they respond I'll get the actual response copy & pasted over for you.
 
Candy can fit 15 place settings (more than that actually)

In the image everything is detailly explained. The standards, where to put what, I think it has even more than you wrote it should have, but check.

In the video it clearly says it can fit up to 8 XXL plates (34.5cm), that is not a standard plate which is used when counting place settings or anything else. I highly doubt those plates could fit in the Bosch slimline dishwasher, or any other dishwasher since those plates would hit the spray arm. I think for all dishwashers, 33cm was absolute maximum for bottom rack without any problems, ang gimmicks.

Also - this video is for demonstrational purposes, we would all fit more in that particular dishwasher, and any other dishwasher, but no manufacturer is going to cram up the dishwasher to its absolute max for an advertising video.

I'm not sure about your story for Bosch, Hotpoint and AEG not fitting plates they labeled on in. Such articles (including Which?) are so pointless, since people who created them aren't clearly aware how the standards are as well as they should be. I had acces to Which? for a month, and from reading of the review it was very clear those people did not open the instruction manual of the appliance, otherwise they wouldn't be complaining about stuff that is clearly displayed how to be done.
And again - I don't think they can go on the market labeled on Energy label as 14place settings if they can't hold it. It's not so easy to get to the market, even with big brands such as Bosch, Candy or Electrolux.

So here's the image of Candy fitting 15 place settings. On the right side of the pictures you have a list of what and how many of things are inside. Bear in mind that this is for a model without the 3rd rack, and with 3rd rack they fit even more!

I was reading the Which? report for my hoover slimline dishwasher, it was 1 point of a best buy award and according to thier tests, if you are thrifty and clever with how you load it, you can fit more than the rated 10 place settings inside it, believe me, Ive tried and sucseeded lol :)

I've got the sister of that machine featured in the link

My Hoover Dynamic dishwasher has exactly the same bottom basket as that Candy up there (but those blue plastic bits on the sides) and I can honestly say that I've been truly amazed by its versatility and the amount of stuff I've been able to fit in it. My dw also has a 3rd drawer at the top (unlike the model featured on the link which is probably a basic model) which is godsend for those long handled pieces of cutlery.

Funny enough, the inside of the machine hasn't changed much comparing it with my old Candy... it's just the design of the baskets and the hollow door which allow more usable space inside...
 
Ooops..

..Sorry, I meant Glenfield Local (a quarterly magazine, currently not available online - doesn't seem to have a website either) not Glenfield Gazette - thank to Jon in a personal message through Facebook - who sent a link to Glenfield Gazette, I can clearly tell from the font used, that's the other newspaper that we used to get. We haven't received a Gazette for a few months, though by the looks of it, its still going online.
I have asked the Neighbors to look around for the Glenfield Local news magazine thing. I'll see if hopefully they can find it. One said that she thinks she still has it and she will be looking today (Friday). If not, I will email them.
I'll start a different thread if they do, or post to the Facebook forum instead, because as mentioned I have no copy of the local, it was removed from our household a few days after receiving as mum doesn't advertisement magazines and newspapers with adverts in. -- She says newspaper should have news, not be full of adverts, like our local ones are, and even Leicester Mercury has sooo many adverts in now, and thats not even free. (I understand a free paper to have adverts, but one you pay 55p or whatever it is to). It probably costs them what less than 1p to make (plus reporter costs).

Anyway, Its interesting to see that the Candy does hold the 15 place settings they claim.
It would still be nice to see in real life though, as I'm sure my bowl/dishes look bigger than the ones shown, and would be interesting to see how different thickness of plates, which do vary by household would fit in!

Will be interesting to see how other manufacturers react, will we be seeing a 16 place one soon? to try outdoo each other, just like Anti-stain/ASR competition recently?
 
Yup, rebadged ASKO but on own specification!
As an example ASKO as I'm aware, doesn't market a 17 place settings dishwasher at 90 cm high but only the XXL machines that are 86 cm up to 91, changing the feet height
 
17 Place settings

I don't speak Swedish, and I am too lazy to google-translate, however:

http://www.asko.se/kok/diskmaskiner/d5894sofxxlfi
"17 kuvert" sounds very much like "17 place settings" (in Italian it is quite similar: "place setting" = "coperto")

http://www.asko.se/kok/diskmaskiner/d5654sofxxls---d5654xxls
"kuvert (17 st.)" raises the same "17 place settings" suspect

And for the height, Fulgor website states "up to 90 cm", but the user's manual states "height: 857-912 mm": exactly the same 86-91 cm as Asko...
 
Ah well, it should be the same machine then!
Anyway they're of high quality, overpriced but high quality!
