V-Zug Adora SLQ Washing Machine - Steam Cycle

[chestermikeuk]

Have uploaded this latest video showing The Zug Adora performing the STEAM cycle. The water is heated by the main element in the base of the drum, this ensures a steady stream of steam throughout the drum allowing the clothes to be completely bathed in the steam continuously..You will here the injectors pumping small amounts of water into the drum to keep the minimum of water over the heater at all times allowing maximum steam output with minimum usage of water. You can also hear the hissing of the water when the heater kicks in...

Having used Steam Programmes on washers with Steam Injector units (like a seperate kettle with a pump jet, i think this method is better as it allows the drum to be completely full of steam for maximum benefit.

What is the advantage of steaming...

...instead of washing except for the time saved?

Steam......

Doesnt replace "Washing" in this machine - this programme is used to de-crease your clothes, or refresh them after storage!!

Some machines inject steam into the wash - the theory being that you use a low temp 40d programme and add boost of steam to raise the temp or sanitise, I dont think it works all that well in that scenario, as soon as the steam leaves the jet it hits the cooler clothes and drum and dissipates instantly!!

When I had my Bendix and Philco Duomatics with condenser drying, I could achieve the same thing by tossing something wrinkled in the machine with a damp cloth. Later, I did the same thing with the Filtrator. It was great for a wrinkled suit coat, etc.

Steaming

Exactly Tom, when you know how your machine works and what its limitations are the possibilities are endless.....Its a good feature to have, much prefer the "Bathed in Steam" as opposed to "Steam jet Spray" great for work suits etc as you get good results without dry cleaning prices!!!!

Heat Pump washer

I actually now work for V-ZUG and have done for 18 months.
Hence I've kept a low profile and not posted much

New machine is fantastic. The heat pump focus seems to be on cost savings, but due to the unique action, longer soak time and accurate temperature holding, the wash result is superior also. I've only had one at home for a week and a bit but shirts are coming out better, it is also quieter than my previous machine (the first model SLQ we got in Australia, which I though was an improvement on my old Miele W3933WPS).

And IMHO, they look bloody fantastic too.
