Waaaaaaaah, Waaaaaaaah! I Want One! I Want One!

If the United States ever goes to 220/50hz power am getting a V-Zug washing machine if one has to crate and ship the thing from Sweden oneself <br
Congrats!

 

[foraloysius]

Mike! How wonderful! Congratulations! Ofcourse I'm looking forward to full reports having the V-Zug madness stimulated a bit. LOL! They look truly gorgeous!! Can't take my eyes off of them <br
Launderess, they are made in Switzerland, not in Sweden <br

Hello, Mike. I have never met you, but admired your collection of machines for years. I remember when you first posted these incredible machines awhile ago and was truly blown away when I saw that they had a WETCLEANING! cycle. And that Basket that has many, many micro-mini holes, and interesting wash baffles. Well, congratulations on the pair! I guess you won't be coming up for air in about a week lol They are truly QUALITY machines and you want get them here in the states so I have to share yours with your pics and possibly videos. So what is the RPM on the spin please? And where are your ASKO pair going?..
Enjoy them. I know you will <br <br

Mike <br
well done! I've had a VZug Adora SLQ for a couple a months -- bought it in Switzerland. I'm curious to hear what you think about it.

very smart machines, it looks like a simple program selection, not to fussy.

 

[rolls_rapide]

Nice, solid-looking machines. I'd be worried about that brass fitting that weighs a ton, ripping off the modern soldered pipework under the sink. Maybe that fitting is meant for commercial premises? Or does Switzerland have different plumbing installation codes?

 

[dyson2drums]

Cool <br
Very robust, looks very nice in place
Please let us know on performance
When did you actually install them
Will you be doing videos
I hope one day i'll have a set too <br
Have fun!

 

[bertrum]

Never seem these in anyones home, they must be sold in VERY small numbers in the UK <br
I wonder who does the after sales service for them <br
Dont know anything about this make at all, with the bolt down base plate I assume they are semi commercial <br
Look nice and solid built? What about lifting the lid on the appliances chestermike?

 

[toggleswitch2]

WONDERFUL

 

[newwave1]

Mike! LOVE the new addtions!!! I can't wait to see more! I see you have the washer on the left this time to do with the door hinging? <br
I do hope those lovely maytaskos are safe and sound and won't be forgotten....if they need a new home....;- <br

If miele ever goes

out of business... hopefully V-zug has it's TOL models available for me!
BTW is V-zug part of the BSH group or so? (The transportbolts reminded me of BSH, so does the manual lay-out)

Adorable Adora

Thanks everyone for the messages, am busy doing pics n vids!!!

Phillip: 1600rpm 8kg load, it just hums on spin and the motor just powers through the revs!!

Gary: i dont think you`ll be finding many of these in later years!!...lol almost are indestructable!!! good speaking to you this morning!!

Laundress: I`ll see what I can sort out!!! you would love the dryer I`m sure, it just seems to "SUCK" the moisture from the clothes, not noticed excess heat like a condenser, AND a dryer thats quiet without being vented!

Louis: yes have just ordered a mains power pack for the camera, I`ll take you throught the progs...dont forget, only 45mins from Manchester.

Paul, yes along the same lines but with a difference I`m liking...

Darren K: yes dont worry the Maytag Asko`s are staying, I just love those machines, especially the styling as they both look identical, thats the only thing that bugs me about the Adoras!! loving the clothesline special by the way!!

Rudin: Congratulations, will have to compare wash results, so far great for me!!!

Lee: yes very easy to use, Touch & Go, as well as variables. Doesnt have a Start/Stop button though, automatically start after 20secs following programme selection or switches off if not in use.

Rolls Rapide: Oh yes that was my first thought, anti flood device that breaks your pipes - not good, have asked the question about whats required

Dyson2Drums: installed on friday just before the gang decended for the weekend, still finding my way around the programming, so far so good.

Bertrum: you wouldnt, they are just released into UK, 5yrs guarantee covered by Independant Service, not promoted as Semi-Commercial, will do more inside pics

Toggles: WetClean with a Steam Finish?? what do you reckon??

Darren: Gotta get some dates sorted!!! having just installed them the existing plumbing dictated the installation, didnt want to put any extra weight on my pipes with the anti-flood device, I prefer them the other way round like the Maytag (which are well staying.. Lol) have not turned the dryer door as am waiting for a stacking kit to take some Stack photos for the shop!!

Chris: Adorable indeed, the visitors couldnt wait to strip their beds n use it...LOl

VintageHoover: Jack -no problem, glad you got to see them, - yes pixiedust indeedy!!if you get a chance look at the Vintage Zugs with Louis - marvellous!!

AskoMiele: similar but thats where it ends, the user manuals are very Swedish, written like my previous pair

Top Inside: polydrum in two halves, solid metal harness supports,

Now I like that PCB, gives me some ideas for my project.

Rear

The baseplate is a few inches thick of moulded polycarbon, very rigid and lots of fibre side panel sound insulation.

The three moulded pipes on the LHS from the water inlet / powder dispenser are the baffle stability fill pipes, the first time I used it I couldnt make out what was happening, fill inject stop fill inject stop as it was spinning....

And what other washer has its own Black Box of tricks..thats the speed / motor controller and on board computer linked to the top panel.

It uses the power of the water heater for the STEAM function, which makes sense of exisiting technology and as steam rises its in the right place under the drum to start with.
