V-Zug washer arrived

[deedub]

Well I have said goodbye the Miele W3933 & T8633 after 3 years of faultless service and said hello to V-ZUG Adora SLQ. Waiting on the dryer to come in the next week or 2(out of stock briefly). Have so far run a standard cottons wash and also a shirts wash. Very impressed with the results and the thing is virtually silent. I'm looking forward to playing with all the different washes over the coming months.

For the guys (or gals) that have them, any tips or suggestions?

 

[ronhic]

Yep, donate your Mieles to me

 

[mikeklondon]

Why

Sorry but could I just ask why you changed from Miele to the the V-Zug they are new to me

V-Zug Adora SLQ Washer & Dryer

Congratulations on your new laundry set, I`m sure you wont be dissapointed over and above the previous Mieles. As you say Ultra Quiet and the 8kg 60ltr drum is cavernous, the 1600rpm is one of the quietest I`ve heard and the spin extraction is the best...The Wet Clean programme is great for those clothes that just need refreshing etc..

The Heat Pump dryer is again very quiet and uses far less electricity than other models...if you have been used to a vented dryer then any heat pump dryer will take a bit of getting used to!!

Just make sure if you have a fully pressurised water system, particularly a combi boiler that the in-line pressure pot it large enough to match the requirements and that any pipework needs to be fixed rigid to walls otherwise you could experience "water hammer" when the VAS system "Vibration Absorbency System) is in use..

V-Zug History

Hello Hass

Heres the Zug History pages, have a read & click round. Zug have been in business manufacturing since 1913, they prided themselves only building Swiss quality for their own, its only recently that we see them develop the brand elswhere...

Miele used to be the "Exclusive & Different brand, now every man & his dog have them.....so

If you Aspire to want the "Difference" then V-Zug is the New Miele....cost you around 3k for the washer & dryer....

Mike...

Hello Mike, thanks for sharing the info with me, yeah by the looks of it, this brand it does come across to be similar with Miele, ie the difference and suiting to your wash needs. Who would of thought Miele would be competing with another brand hey. Lol I would have to save my pennies to by these beauties Mike. Also the thing I like about these machines, is they have that modern look with a retro twist, maybe that's what's so appealing about it... Have they done any reviews on this machine? For example on 'Which'...

As Seen On UK Whitegoods

Market Position

The only way to describe V-Zug's market position is right at the top, almost stratospheric in price and quality. This means, not cheap by any stretch.

V-Zug are actually priced higher than Miele and ISE and billed as being better and/or longer lasting than either of the two. This may be open to debate but, the quality of V-Zug is not open to question really, the appliances are painstakingly well built.

Hass, they are the Rolex of the Washing Machine World - They Dont See Themselves Like Miele at all....LOl,

V-Zug Appliances

Most people have probably never heard of V-Zug but they are a Swiss company that has been around since 1913 producing exceptionally high quality domestic appliances

I like the look of the V-Zug

I'm just off for a quick trip up north to Newark Antiques fair for a few days I'll have a good look at this when I get back.

 

[thelaundrylab]

That sums it up...

lol the Rolex of the Washing Machine World. I love the sound of that Mike!!! After seeing the prices ie the top price for the top model is over 4k, I can see why they don't compare them selves to Miele. Like I said earlier me knowledge of these machine is very little. I was impress with the 'wet clean cycle' after seeing it on YouTube...so the thought of not taking your suits down to the Dry Cleaners, make's me sway towards this machine...I give my thumbs up

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

They look very well built but not as pretty as a Miele! Also, how much are these?

Thanks

I introduced the V-Zug brand on this website after Launderess had seen a picture of it on some website. I had used a V-Zug in Switzerland before. That was a V-Zug Adorina, which at that time was a rebadged AEG. Nowadays unfortunately the Adorina series are sourced from Bauknecht.

I think I may say that I made more people interested in V-Zug washing machines and dryers. Fortunately they have become better available in Europe than in the past, when they were only sold in Switzerland.

The brand V-Zug, or plain Zug as many Swiss call it, is one of the many brands in Switzerland. It's amazing that so many brands are/were available overthere.

BTW, Zug has been discussed quite a few times on this website, or at least mentioned. Do a search on the Searchalator and many threads will come up.

In the summer of 2007 I was on holiday in Switzerland. I had the pleasure of visiting the V-Zug museum. I was granted permission to take pictures. I put them in a Webshots album. Here's the link:

My congratulations for your purchase!
I am sure you will enjoy the set.

A V-Zug washing machine would be a little dream come true for me (when talking about modern washing machines)
But I will continue to dream about it, because it's too expensive

It is really a Rolex or Rolls Royce of the washing machines.

Hi David,

Thats a very pretty machine, congratulations.

I looked at them when they first came out, but the price was around $4800 which was a bit scary.

I'm very interested in how the heatpump dryer goes in the aussie climate.

Cheers

Nathan
