The logotype "Reason" is extremely similar to "Dyson"...
It doesn't appeal me even a single bit, plus I can't see inside and a 10 kg drum is too large for my liking, also I love dosing detergent (almost always powder) by my self!

 

[newwave1]

This machine is bizzare!
I doubt it is as one touch as they say. It'd be interesting if you could see in it! Is this a uk or european product?

Hope no one confuses the Reason washer for a --dishwasher!Yes it needs a window in the door.

Hmm... Very Fisher & Paykel-esque in design. But judging by how the site had a countdown timer, the machine is not out yet. Perhaps it will be out in time for Christmas shopping season.

Interesting design, but I bet the mechanism is prone to failure with a system that has te be connected and disconnected all the time. Did you see how it wiggles when he pushes it back in the last time?

I would prefer an H-axis TL, although you can't built such a machine under a counter.

Hi Folks,
The website appears to be registered to an Andrew Reason in the UK.

Interesting design but not for me as I must be able to see whats going on inside the washer.

Oddity in the Video

It appears that when the man unloads the machine the clothes are dry and fluffy. As if it were a combo and performed the drying as well as washing.

Confused too

Mrb627, I noticed that too, but I just figured they were spun at 1600 and tumble fluffed at the end. Then when I went to the youtube video link from mattywash (same commercial) I read one of the comments posted and the person said it was a combo unit..I'll have to go back to the website and double check, but I didn't get that it was a combo.

Either way, it looks way cool and I would love to have one, but I just have to have a window. Perhaps they should have asked 40,001 people! lol

TLHA!!!

OH.... can't say nothing else that the common Italian imprecation as...

PORCA MISERIA!

My dear friends, this is a machine exacly like a Top Loading Horizontal Axis... what is the difference in loading the drum from the top or doing it with make it sliding out like a drawer!?!?

This is for me the real SLIDING action to load

Nothing of new for me, specially the two bearings drum support system...maybe the 10Kg load but honestly I'm suspicious in such standard cabinet dimensions...

Really is American market switching on to TLHA!??!!?

Then, here you really cannot see nothing. At leats I can bypass the lidswitch of the slinding door of mine and here you can see the sudsy drum shaking or otherwise here you are another one.... but similar

Speechless...really

Diomede:

The washer in question's actually aimed at the European market and is designed in the UK, it's not intended for the US (initially anyway).

It occupies the standard cabinet shape as used by every other European front loader.

 

[pierreandreply4]

great washer.

European market

Ok mrx, sorry but I didn't catch it immediately. Thanks!

Anyway, looking at the video it seems that the drum has a folding doors system just like my old Superautomatica.

I wonder though what obout the suspension system, becaus if the drum is hung to the door you'll see the door shaking when the spin shakes the drum....LOL!!!
Then, always concerning the two bearings, I wonder just about the rear one, where the drum shaft goes in and out when you open and close the door...

Really I'm not convinced.....
Shouldn't be better to make a good FL washing machine instead of inventing how to Front Loading a TLHA!?!?

[rolls_rapide]

The video seems to show, as 'foraloysius' says, the drawer shaking as the guy pushes it into place.

It'll probably be the first thing to break.

I would prefer an H-axis TL, although you can't built su

Louis, I think it wouldn't be so on more...
Imagine if a TLHA has the outerbut independent of the cabinet and you make an hole in the counter as if you were installing a sink or cooktop, then a "cover" like those worktop would be like a cabinet door for the washing-machine, but under it the (sliding!?) outertub lid close it and the machine could wash, rinse and spine, of course much less noising than any other machine wiche attach the tub to the cabinet with those conventional rubber seals either for a TL than a FL!!

Then I must say this... if you remeber the Candy S51 of our French mate Bert (lamachinealaver.com), looking at the Candy Group website (link below) if you go to 1974 you can see a very rare horizontal axis machine with a top loadin system on front. The STA model is a TLHA the STF model i suppose is a FL two side drum machine (10.14 and 14.14 pics)
