Yeah i noticed that aswell a few weeks ago while searching for a new machine, maybe they had a load stock piled, was tempted to get one but ended up getting an AEG machine as its a 1600 spin.....
I thought it might of been a mistake but if they are still on there... who knows lol
Trust me, that machine the wma50 is ace, no balancing crap and spins well but thats only 1000, mines 1400 and dont forget the powerstream wash system and excellent wash n rinse performance and spin is really good too. Not like newer hotpoints.
I am more than happy with it, you forget its on sometimes its that quiet lol. Never had AEG before always stuck wi hotties but after all the horror stories about the new hotpoint/ariston machine i thought would have a change, I will upload a piccie later on tonight when i get home will start a new thread..
I'm wondering, how much drying time is actually saved with a 1400 or 1600RPM spin? Our Speed Queen top loader is a relative snail ("fast" speed is 710RPM), yet even our heaviest bath sheets take only 40 minutes to dry. Regular clothes are done in 25-30 minutes.
At some point the faster spins won't remove any more water from your clothes, they'll just wrinkle the heck out of them.
The drum is more better and more stronger, i've never had paddle problems and the wool wash, distribution starts smoothly unlike newer machines which cause a huge inbalance. Plus it boost washing performance due to powerstream wash system.
