I loved it's design.
Here we have a Brastemp similar to that, but made in China. (Same as Sanyo).
The Brastemp has horrible troubles with vibration, starting by a ridiculous leveling foot (the other three feet aren't adjustable.
Among the other problems, the Brastemp has a tiny drum for 7kg and high speed spin. (the drum isn't deep, but it's wide)
Mueller's machine has a deeper drum, but not so wide. it allowed them to make it almost diagonal, perfect to load and unload without bending, no matter if the user prefers to remove the drum or not.
cycles are very understandable and easy to use, no ridiculous redundant cycles like "shirts", "T-shirts" and "sweatshirts". also no guess work.
The first button is the wash time: Long, medium, fast and delicate
The second button is the water level (yay, it has a L/M/H water level selector)
The third button is soil level (stained, too dirty, dirty and sweat only)
the 4th is the spin speed (high, med, low, hold)
5th button is drying (4 hours, 3 hours, 2 hours and deodorize)
Finally the water temperature selector (Hot,Warm,Cold) The hot is really hot and the machine has an internal heater.
Below there are three buttons: Delay start, start/pause and extra rinse. The extra rinse is never needed even using standard detergents because the machine rinses really well.
Finally, there's the main switch. an analogic button that shuts off absolutelly everything, even the electronic board, when the machine isn't in use (no standby mode to waste energy).
As the water level is really high, the secondary hatch is great to add a forgotten garment without draining the machine. It's also wonderful to vent the machine when not in use without an ajar door.
and as the drum is removable, there's no need to use those washing machine cleaners. When it's dirt, the user can simply remove the drum and wipe off the dirt and those nasty residues.
It's construction is dependable, the materials are visibly much better than any other washer.
More details and more pictures soon.
