What else would be more up-datable than a completely customized machine!? Just a DO-IT-Yourself machine like this! CLICK HERE TO GO TO vivalalavatrice's LINK |

My bosch WFF2000 i believe has genuine fuzzy logic! Tonight i did a bulky load of whites which included a hoody and some jumpers. I started it on cotton 40 with shortwash selected After 10minutes the higher water level light came on, the short wash light went out and the machine carried on with increased water levels! Also doing a cottons dark wash full of jeans and such it did higher than standard rinse fill. On a towels wash that sudslocked the machine it adjusted the tumble speeds and the water level!!! Not to mention time varies in the cycle too!! I always wondered about the AEG update too AEG03 as my parents have the same model. Darren |

To my understanding, the Miele Update feature can also be used to unlock hidden features and alter settings. Here are some excerpts from THS, where a U.S. customes describes, what he saw when the service technician connected the laptop to his washer. "Although there were no faults Miele wanted to send a Miele Service Representative (MSR) to our residence to have a look at matters. I was fortunate to have a Miele Service Representative who allowed me to see what he was doing to the dryer, and I was duly impressed with the software line items that are configurable on the dryer. Another benefit is the latest firmware was uploaded to our dryer. The are several line items (e.g., cottons) that have three settings: 1) Moister 2) Standard 3) Dryer. In addition, the unit's Cooling Down cycle can have its time extended by five or ten minutes. Upon connecting the MSR's laptop to our washer three new line items, that the MSR had not seen to date appeared in the configuration list. One was a PC test that I suspect will be part of the Vision Module to allow the consumer to see if everything is working as it should. There was another I do not remember as I was intrigued over the this item in particular: Hygiene Optimization. This item was available to configure as the other two, although listed, were grayed-out when the selection was chosen. Since the MSR did not know about the Hygiene Optimization it was not activated. I can also state that there are many other line items, and another the caught my eye is that the water heater has five options of heat. The washer is shipped to the States in the lowest setting and since I am not an Electrical Engineer I do not know the its meaning other than it is set at around 1.x kW with four other selection the highest being 4.12kW. MSR's are given strict orders not to change this setting. Do not try to convince the MSR to change this setting as settings are uploaded to a database and any unauthorized changes can void your warranty. You also have to remember that some of these variations of scale in settings are for testing purposes. Such is the case for drum rotation speed that can be set to 2,000 rpm, and lower than the consumer setting of 1,400 rpm to determine drum related issues (e.g. bearings, etc.)."

I heard about a washing machine factory for the Eluxtrolux group in Poland and Russia, soon I think these will be moved there from Italy. The reason I asked about the Zanussi IZ is that I thought I saw on its rating plate that it is made in Germany. Maybe im wrong. |

Rolls! You are indeed correct, my machine spins everytime. as they state in the brochure "many failed attempts to balance followed by a short spin time make for a poor spin" My bosch calculates the level of balance and spins to its safest speed to extract as much as it can, then it will redistribute and carry on up to the full speed as balanced as poss! Also the water level sensors and agitation work exceptionally well. For example. the aysymmetric paddles are soft on one side and flat on the other. So depending on the wash type and soiling it is not uncommon for it to tumble ages in one direction more than the other. I have it set up to hot and cold atm and you can hear it switching between the valves. Also it has the guarenteed rinse time. So irregardless of how long it takes to fill it will rinse for a minimum time! I'm very pleased with it. Darren |

I was told at the Miele dealership today that the latest models have WiFi built-in. If your home has a wireless network, the washer can be hooked up so that if it has a failure that it's been able to self-diagnose, it sends an alert to Miele over the Internet and the part(s) needed to fix it are ordered and a technician is dispatched (if still under warranty under service agreement). Also that the Mieles now come with a five year standard warranty. Not too shabby! |
