Washer wise nothing really new. Just some options like the "Hygiene"-Option comming on BSH washers, AEG steamdryers and thats pretty much all I know about.
I red through the German text and was verry curious about seing them in reallife. The thing why the drum looks somehow other is that it is indeed a completly new deigned and engeniered drum. It is called the "Thermoschontrommel" (don't know how to say in english). It got bigger, more bendend honey combs and even smaller wholes.And, they say, all washers have AT LEAST 8kg drum volume. Maybe a 9kg or even bigger vesion comming?
On the other hand, they switched the steam off the washers onto the dryers, giving the washers the option pre-ironing which heats up the drum after the spin to reduce wrinkels.
The dryerdoor is shaped like that because of the "fragrencedos" feature which is nothing more like the previously released system and because of the filter being designed ton catch even more fluff.
No, thats not the dryer-rack, it is just a glass-shape to guide air.
What I am keen on is seing the pre-ironing option and some of the ProgrammManager options at work as well as the new and only on the market programm where you tell the washer which few items you add, like shirt,jeans,pair of socks, underwear and then it modells a perfect wash cycle...
