Servis W814W washing machine

[nrones]

A+++, or even more energy 'efficient' =3,5-4hours ti

All the machines with A+++ rating or above are having over 3hour long 'Standard' cycle (most of them are around 4 hours), and do 2 rinses. Also, Standard 60 is always around 40, Standard 40 is around 30...

It is ok to have that cycle, just for the sake of fancy super Green energy label, but only if there are alternatives, however, if the only cotton 60 and 40 cycles are 'standard' ones present on the machine, then it might be a problem, not just because of time, but because of temperature as well.

This one is just rated A+. One thing I forgot to mention is that when the machine goes to acellerate from the slower spins to 1000(I think) and above, you will see the machine bop along the lower rpms, shift up a little and then you will hear it CLICK into the higher speeds.

Hi Dejan

I just can't imagine waiting that long for a load of washing to be completed. I realise that I can go and do other things whilst it's in progress but if that is what it takes to get A+++ then I'm afraid you can count me out. I have just bought an old Servis Starlight and the cycle times are a fraction of that for a 60 wash and so far the results have been faultless. Yes it uses more water and it isn't as energy efficient but when I want the washing done so I can hang it outside and get on with other things then I don't want 3-4 hour programmes!

Hi Paul,

Just as you, I think no one can imagine their washer washing for 4 hours to get the load done, that's why I mentioned the alternatives - I don't have anything against those 'Standard' Cycles existing on the machine, but there must be some alternatives for them on every machine (eg.cotton quick, cotton intensive) that would still enable everyone to have a wash with normal cycle times and rinses and temperatures.

If the machine only offers 'standard' cycles as only Cotton cycles available on the machine, than hands are pretty tight about that... Although I must admit I haven't seen such programmed machine so far (thank god), and I hope no one will make it
