saw a few of these when the were launched. Claimed 8KG capacity, though used the same drum as my grandmas old 5KG Hoover performer (which I must add was much better than those used today). They also had super silent motor. I think they did spin rinse, like those new candy mix powers! | ||

OMG... that was love at 1st site!
That brings back memories! I was invited to a wedding in Italy back in 2002 I think and the 'bride to be' used to work in an appliance store, so, some days before the wedding, some friends and I went to see her at work to say 'hi', having not seen her for quite some years... but when I got there, I saw one of these head turners and I was totally captivated by it! I don't think the bride to be got enough attention from me that day... and that perhaps explains the reason why I got the short end of the... wedding cake LOL
As some1 suggested, these machines had a capacity of only 5kg and they were meant to revive the sloping front design of the original Hoover Keymatic. The ones I saw that time were actually called Zerowatt-Hoover Vision, as Candy was trying to popularise the brand Hoover in Italy by associating it with a well known local brand... I think the whole thing took place around 2000 but it never took off properly... they were far too expensive for what they were offering... more of a display thing really! In fact they were being used in the Italian big brother whereas we had the Dyson dual drum in the British one. Too bad the one on the eBay link is in Wales... otherwise I'd bid on it... it still turns my head ;-) | ||

I seem to remember they only used 35 litres or so for a cott 35 liters to pre-wash, wash and rinse 5 kilos of cotton garments? How many water changes per cycle? Anyway, what happened to this model and have later models reduced water use even further? | ||

Vison
I had one of those. It was an excellent machine built in the Zerowatt factory in Italy, really solid build quality, heaps of sound insulation on the inside panels and the spray rinse of course which was gr8 fun. Very low water use but seemed to do everything well. It is a very stylish machine. I miss it alot. I did consider getting this and repairing it but I can't get to Wales at the mo too much on. They do pop up on ebay now n then.

I remember seeing them in a local store and thinking that they looked rather stylish. The sales staff were a little less impressed. Apparently the outer cabinet flexed/dented/dunkled as they were moving it to the display stand. | ||
