Very Well Done!
Indeed!
Such beautiful machines! Congrats all round.
Love the look of the new SQ "Imperial" series, but while browsing the owner's manual for the washing machines, cannot get over the lack of user controls.
For instance according to the manual, bulky items such as blankets and duvets should be washed on "Delicate Cycle". Am wondering why, but SQ goes on to say because of the amount of water such things absorb it is better they spin on a lower speed. This boggles my mind as I always do my duvets and such on "normal" and spin at 1100rpms in the Miele.
Like the "Boosted Hot" feature, but still no pre-wash or soak cycle. One could work around this suppose by starting a wash cycle, letting it get on a bit, then drain, perhaps short spin, then reset again for a normal wash cycle.
On front loaders with no or weak heating power, like to run a warm or cool pre-wash first, then can go straight to a tap hot wash. Water from our taps comes out at >120F (higher during the colder months when the boiler is on), so that should give good results.
Other than a these and a few other minor quibbles, really like the SQ washers. Though at almost 2K, would probably go for a large Miele instead, just to get more control over cycles. Still if one appeared on eBay or CL for a good price, *might* take a whack at it.
Have a blast with your machines!
