V-Zug Adora SLQ Washer & Heat Pump Dryer

All I need to do now is peel off the protective visor cover and switch on selecting the installation programme, which creates an very unbalanced load (the baffles use water fill for balancing - so it pumps 1 full, 1 half & one empty)the machine then goes into a fast spin and if its levelled correctly then it stops, OR flashes "CHECK STABILITY"

Adora TSL heat Pump Dryer - unboxed, nice to see traditional carboard packing instead of plastic

 

[chestermikeuk]

V-Zug Adora SLQ Washer & Heat Pump Dryer

All I have to do is fit the drain hose - the Adora does not have a water bottle it pumps all heat pump derived condensate through the pipe to a drain - you can get a nifty two in one connector which goes into the washer waste and then one pipe into your stand pipe!!!

 

[chestermikeuk]

V-Zug Adora SLQ Washer & Heat Pump Dryer

All that remains is to position the dryer in situ and allow it to stand for two hours to allow the Adora TSL Heat Pump gasses to settle - THEN - select Installation test programme after you have selected "Language of Choice"

 

[chestermikeuk]

Language Selection - then function ensuring heat pump is energised & the dryer is level & correct...

 

[chestermikeuk]

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?
