Hi guys,
Spending a few days in Hong Kong and just come across this very interesting washer manufactured by Hitachi. Looks really cool. Over 10 kg load with 1600 rpm spin. It has a gravity drain with no pump which is odd but it is a very advanced washer dryer and would love to get one but alas Hitachi no longer supply white goods in Australia, not sure about the US market but I suspect not. Hitachi seems to be mainly for the Asian market. Check it out. User Manuel is very informative. Look forward to comments etc. Cheers Simon CLICK HERE TO GO TO spinspeed's LINK | ||

Drum Size?
what do they mean when they say "About 61cm Diameter Big Drum" it is a drum that's likely to be about 61cm, long? wide? deep? ..........that is most vague and pointless description I have ever seen.............just another gadget laden pile-of-shite I suspect.
Hitachi should stick to what they used to best | ||

Cold water washing
I think the poor description of the drum size may be a translation issue. I have the brochure which is mostly in Chinese but some English which is a funny translation. I find that the instruction manuals I have for my LG washer and LG dish washer read a little strange and am sure it is the translation in to english that is the issue.
Looking at the machine in the store the drum was large in diameter but was quite shallow in depth. I do like the angle of the drum in this machine. I didn't notice the lack of hot water washing. Blowing hot air on to water jets sounds like a poor way to heat the water. Mind you in Auatralia cold water washing is very popular but only in TL machine. Not sure cold water in FL washers is very hygienic. I never use cold water washing even in my TL machines except the large fisher and paykel intuitive which has a hot water recirculation before it fills with cold water to do the agitation part of the wash. It does a great job I have to say. | ||
