Hi Cbosch,
Timer controlled washer dryers seem to use the maximum Cottons rhythm during the drying cycle. It may be a different matter with Electronic models as its a lot easier to include additional rhythms in the operating Software.

We had a Hotpoint 9934 from about 1989 or so. It done it tumbled like cottons and i remember the pump being on constantly. On my Auntie Lesley's WDi9091 the pump cycled on and off. I always wondered how it done that since the hotpoint seemed lower tech.
Mum and Dad now have a Creda washer dryer thats been badged Ariston and it tumbles just the same really. Only difference is that if you select a prgramme such as iron dry on cottons it will do a fast spin. Stick it on timed it will just go back and forth. I also had a 2002 Zanussi Washer Dryer. It tumbled normally too actually. When you selected wash and dry it would spin at more intervals than normal. Was always fond of when it went straight up to 1200rpm hehe.
I guess the electronic ones just are the same as before but the electronics can give a better spin before hand or even throw in a random spin!

from an AEG point of view....
My AEG 16810 (i think as it's in storage at the mo....! The drying cycle acts in the same way as a separate dryer. The turbo system is extremely efficient and so long as you dry no more than the recommended 3KG, you have a perfectly dried load without creasing!

Thanks for your comments folks. The machine does indeed spin on the drying cycle if the timer is set at 120 minutes or above. This does crease stuff like mad but I tend to use it only for little loads as my grandparents are elderly and disabled so I take the bulk of the washing home to dry in a proper dryer.

I have 2 washer/dryers, A zanussi WDT1061, and a hoover new wave 1400washer/dryer. Both are excellent and work wonderfully when you follow manufacturer guidelines. The zanussi steams through like a freight train. I love how sturdy it is and no nonsense its attitude is! The drying tumbles and very long with little pauses!
The new wave tumbles long and at a medium speed. I love this machine. Always have loved new waves. this one you need to be particular about the load size so it dries evenly.
Heres a pic from left to right, Hotpoint WM43 1400 (1996) Zanussi WDT1061 (1990), Hoover New Wave 1400 WA146 (1997), Servis quartz 6030 (1982).
Enjoy

Can't say what a "real" W/D does, but my little Italian-made 110v portable Comb-o-Matic brand unit would start the drying heat and fan before the final spin "to get a head-start on pre-heating".
It was, needless to say, extremely slow with the available wattage.

hello again,
got so fed up with the dryer bit in the washer dryer i went out and bought my grandparents a small whit knight 3kg dryer. Have squeezed it into the kitchen and its super. I can only get one sheet in at a time but as it dries in around 40 minutes I can have both dry before the next load is ready from the washing machine.
Considering I only paid £80 I am seriously impressed!
