Wash
-SpinWash. some Indesit group Ws have a program to wash shoes. They say there is no tumbing action but a distribution speed.The "wool & cashmere" program seems to operate likely.
Has someone experienced them ? Oversudsing issues ?

-Wool handwash. Miele and BSH use very low levels, low speed and do only 3/4 of a revolution one or twice a minute, interim slow spins, final spin @ 1200 max . There so little movement that it's better to stir detergent in some water and pour it in the drum before loading. Anyway this is really shrink and felt safe, as it is very similar to wetcleaning tech
Indesits, as said before "spinwash" wool
Do other machines have different solutions ? Does still exist the old awful high level sYstem ?

Rinse
Does some machine spray-rinse with fresh water while spinning, just like some VAW do ?
Ten or more years ago Bauknecht had a device called DES(direkt einspuel system). Probably it was kinda Jetsystem,
but those machines were said to sprayspin with fresh-not recirculated water. Someone does know more ?

T.i.a.

Dyson had a patent for rinsing, though not yet used...

...where the laundry was spun at low level (something like a few hundred revolutions per minute) whilst spraying a fresh water mist from a nozzle in the doorseal, typically a litre at a time. When the water was used up, the machine accelerated up to full speed and spun the water down the drain. When the water was spun out, the rpms fell back to the few hundred again and a further litre of water was sprayed into the clothes.

This was repeated several times and was supposed to be quite an efficient method of rinsing, compared to the standard fill-once type of rinse used by everyone.

The final rinse was of the conventional type for adding fabric conditioners.
 
No, it wasn't employed on the contrarotators, it was never used on production machines; merely mentioned in patent applications (and who knows what goes on in Dyson's laboratories).
 
Whirlpool had the earliest top load sprayspin rinse

But maybe GE had one too at one time, Robert doesn't your 47 GE spin spray???

Bendix had the first tumble spray rinse for F/L's that is why I laugh so much at this law suit between WP and LG for that very thing. Ofcourse as a detail, Bendix was for FRESH water entered into the drum and WP was for recycled water pumped into the drum , which is what LG was trying to do as well.

Then Maytag had a patent for recycled wash water being pumped into the drum on later Neptunes. But no one to my knowledge had spin spray with a front loader covered.
