dyson washers had a nack for tagling clothes, so most owners that were not satisfied had the drums locked to wash like a normal machine. another big put off for dyson washers was the fact that they were in phsycadelic colours which also was a big turn off to the consumer. shame that | ||

There was someone posting here who had one or had used one, but then I think it broke. I can't imagine what kind of tangling resulted where the two halves of the drum met and were going in opposite directions. Maybe that poster will see your information request. | ||

2 Drums?
It wasnt just the 2 way drum action which caused Dyson to stop making them, but also all of the other parts which would seem to wear out in a fairly short space of time in these machines.
I'm always a fan of new technology but this really didnt seem to cut it. Personally I'd rather do two loads in a smaller capacity machine than one huge one in a machine like this. It is a shame that they didnt last as long as they claimed to however, I've always found them interesting but even these days a quick search on Ebay just reveals one after the other " Dyson for spares or repairs", also alot of their parts seem to crack and go brittle very easily, which I always found dissapointing because Dyson had always advertised the strength of the materials used like the double door, it just obviously want the case :-( Hope this helps Rich CLICK HERE TO GO TO SamsungFl's LINK | ||

A few years ago a member sent me this video to put on the site. Unfortunately I cannot remember the member's name. Sorry about that. So here is a movie of a Dyson two way drum washing a load of towels. CLICK HERE TO GO TO whirlcool's LINK | ||

It seems there is a lot of twisting action on the clothing. One end of the clothing is rotating in one direction and the opposite end in the reverse direction. | ||

Hey
I was an owner of a dyson washing machine in white until a few weeks ago, we decided that with the washing machine going back in the kitchen and the machine being loud on spins we wanted something newer. Something that would wash extremely well with a decent load size capacity, not something that just says it's big and has the same sized drum as a smaller capacity model. It was a good machine on the whole, had it for a long time, had a huge capacity, had 1 repair in it's time and the drums were locked. It was quiet except when spinning. I thought they stopped production due to it costing a lot to make the machines as well as a few problems, which I didn't experience (maybe I was lucky - lol) We decided to go for an LG F1479FDS5 steam washing machine which is amazing, washes extremely and is very quiet in operation and is a talking point when anyone comes in :) | ||

I never experienced tangled clothes in the many years of owning one! The golden rule being, never overload. The machines were built very well as Richukbristol has said. They weigh 103kg! They had a range of colours available, from a purple one, to a white with splashes of purple as Richukbristol has, to a white and silver one and a silver with purple splashes and the CR02 allergy complete silver.
I had the white/silver model which didn't look out of place in the kitchen at all with the other appliances, it was always a wow factor when visitors came! Then again everyone has their own personal preferences. The detergent draw isn't trasparent, just the cover is. On youtube theres only one video which is called dyson washing machine gone crazy, with a few other users whom also have filmed there dyson washing machines, seem pretty happy with them, well I was. I think they should start making washing machines again, without the 2 drum wash action as parts are put under more strain, other than that they were pretty good machines :) | ||
