This is from the German washer site. Huwa is another brand from Switzerland. This video is of an older Huwa frontloader which is owned by one of the members of the German site. One of the special features of this machine is an overflow rinse, a thing I had never seen before on a frontloader. The water level is extremely high, far over the axis of the drum. This is by far the highest water level I have ever seen in a frontloader. Do I hear Jetcone say he wants one too? CLICK HERE TO GO TO foraloysius's LINK |

Well, since the whole process of rinsing is about "dilution" this F/L certainly takes care of it! The pump is pretty fast too. |

These machines are built for continuous use in "mehrfamilien..." housing. So apartment buildings, dorms, etc. It is funny, growing up in the Rocky Mountain West where water really is precious and scarce, most folks don't give a damn. Here in Germany (and Switzerland where these beauties are built), where water is anything but scarce...everybody acts like we are down to our last drop and we had better be careful with it. Still and all, I am convinced that good rinsing and spining is just as important to cleaning as the wash cycle. Bummer the new machines keep trying to do more with less...I can think of lots of folks here whose allergies make them run their new machines through two extra sets of rinses...after the first set. And just how does that save water or energy? Only in a politicians head... Love that spin. Bet you don't put your silk shirts into that more than once... Here's a look at the the current production, that machine is ancient (but will still be running in 2020). CLICK HERE TO GO TO panthera's LINK |
