This really belongs in the Deluxe forum. But in answer to your question, no, not especially. The Electrolux Group weren't exactly known for their deep water levels. Certainly non of our newer Zanussi's had particularly deep water levels.

Sorry misposted in the wrong sections. What makes would you say did use the best high water levels?

Vintage or modern?
Hotpoint and Hoover, deffo for the older ones. For modern machines, Miele, Bosch and the new Hotpoints have pretty decent water levels.
Just remember, deep water levels don't always equal better rinsing. There are other factors to consider.

Tricity Bendix A1053W
i have one, it does do high rinses however on cottons programmes only rinse 1 & 4 are high, rinses 2&3 are the same as the wash level however it still rinses exceptionally.
on the synthetics programmes all 3 rinses are at the higher level.
on delicates/woolens programmes the rinses are again at the high level.
ill try and get a pic of the higher rinse level for you.

here is the pic of the high rinse level taken from one of my own videos, this is from the quick and cool cycle but the cottons high rinse is the same, as is the delicates.

Thanks Phil. In my opinion that's how all rinse levels should be. Do you know what year that was made? I have also seen a WM25 hotpoint and I think I may go for that as it looks quite a robust and from the video's I have seen does a good rinse. I still like your Hotpoint9534 on Youtube the best though. Reminds me of my grans, daft woman scrapped it because it just needed new brushes. I could of crucified her as that could of gone on a long time and better than the AEG sh!te she has now.

hi, mine was made on the 25/01/01 but it was bought on the 17/05/01, i think they were in production from 1998 to around early 2002

That's nothing, my Grandma scrapped a full working Hotpoint 18371 and matching dryer because she got a new kitchen and wanted an intergrated machine.
I have to object to your AEG comment, they are widely regarded as one of the better modern brands.

The WM25 as with all Aquarius models has a low level as standard, super rinse would fill about 2 inches up the glass on my Nana's.
To be honest, water levels aren't important when it comes to rinsing, there are plenty of variables - in my opinion spinning out the soapy water between the rinses is more important. 2 low level rinses in my washing machine on the cottons cycle with faster interim spins always rinses better than the 2 high level rinses on the Minimum Iron/Quick Wash cycles that don't spin as much between the rinses. The Miele I have will spin for up to 4 mins (depending on the load size) at 1000rpm after the mainwash, and gives the rinsing process a huge kick start.
Again, on my Hoover Electron the first two rinses will always be soapy, but as soon as the interim spin has kicked in on after the 2nd rinse the water on the following rinse is far more soapy.
I've found higher water levels on rinses can actually produce more foam; if you select water plus on my machine the first rinse will always be at a lower level than the following 2.
Either way, it's all horses for courses, and there are many more variables involved than just the amount of water, and to be honest with most loads apart from towels I still have adequately rinsed laundry with the standard 2 low rinses and have no adverse skin reactions even with my eczema.

Well I will have to agree to disagree. More water to me means better rinsing as I used to have a hoover Electron and the rinse was impeccable. I also take into account the detergents used as well as some rinse better than others. I don't like the modern AEG whereas I liked the older models. Im not keen on models made after 1997 but I appreciate that coming across older models is not that easy.
Bear in mind as I run a modern(ish) low water level machine alongside a Hoover Electron, I am here to tell you that considering the extra water it uses (which I do not mind, got to love a bit of washday drama) it does not rinse significantly better than the Miele.
Like I said before, there are more factors to consider.

What model Miele have you got Jon? I just like to have the option and choice of deep water levels which I think consumers should have. I remember reading somewhere that Mieles can be programmed to do deep water rinsing? Is that correct? I also know a lady who is a Miele Novotronic Premier 500 top speed 1200 and the programme times are very good considering it is A rated 1.54 mins to do a regular cotton wash which is not too bad.
I have a W2652WPS, it has the water plus option where you can add rinses and/or increase the wash and rinse water level. It will fill from between the edge of teh drum rim to a third up the door depending on the load and whether or not you select water plus. I always use water plus on towels, but mainly for the extra rinse rather than the higher water level. I have found that rinsing results are good even with the standard 2 rinses on your average mixed load of clothing.
Mine takes anything 1.30 max for a normal cottons cycle without extra rinse, or 1.45 with extra rinse. Bear in mind however it is only a 5 kilo model, if you press Intensive and will alter the drum rhythm on the wash, it adds half an hour to the wash cycle but I very rarely need to use it on our laundry.

I will see if they have that model on Youtube. That's still good wash time though. 2 hrs 40 mins on the Bosch unless you select 'Speed Perfect'.
At least you don't go into a spin if someone has a difference of opinion. Some people on here need to chill lol

Older Tricity Bendix's
Does anyone remember the older Tricity bendix's? Circ 1990-1997ish? They had the 1980's Zanussi Style drum, Pull on Push Off dials, Most of them had a programming fault. They did a rinse not listed, after the conditioner rinse. It annoyed a lot of people. They did a cotton was level rinse after the main wash, distribution drain, clutched 4/500rpm interm spins. Then they did 2 deep rinses. Then a deep conditioner rinse. Then a fault rinse. Then dist drain, clutched 4/500 then clutched 800/1000rpm.
They were branded Tricity Bendix Deluxe. Had fancy writing... Round buttons. Red mains on light.
The synthetics cycle 60 50 40 was all deep level wash and rinses, no interm spins, and ended at "pause" had to be progressed through the wool and quich wash cycle to the short spin.
