Dont get taken in by marketing hype, direct drive motors can have there own set of problems, the worst being if and when the bearing seal goes (and they do)when the bearings collapses it takes the motor with it making the machine uneconomical to repair.
Brush motors may seem crude but they are reliable and will do anything you want from them. Remember manufacturers are out to sell their products and will use what ever hype they can to make their product seem better than anyone elses, dont be taken in by flashing displays and gizmos, machines with programmes that you will rarely need Stick to well known qaulity manufactures, Miele being the main one as the previous poster said better to buy a bottom end Miele than a top range flash glitter box from one of the incoming new manufacturers. And also the previous poster made a comment that bugs me to, what is the point of a quiet wash motor when most manufacturers use cheap noisy pumps, and poorly built and/or designed soap draws that are noisey I now have a Hotpoint Aqualtis, quiet wash action (linear motor), gets noisier on a spin though, BUT when the pump kicks in!!!!! give me strength, how Hotpoint or anyone else has the gall to put such terms as "SHH wisper quiet" on the front of the machine winds me up no end, they should all be done under the trades description act, because modern machines that use these pumps are not whisper quiet...........rant rant rant :-) My previous machine was a Bosch reasonable noise from the brushed motor, but again the PUMP..........ah well Good luck in seeking out a sensible well built machine Gary |
