Congratulations Jon! That's a fabulous machine. That must have been a very expensive model at the time. I never saw one of those AEG's at work, so I don't know exactly how it should tumble, but tumbling only one way doesn't sound right to me. Question: If you select the rinse hold cancel button on a regular cycle, does it do an intermittent spin then? Later models did, but I'm not sure about this model. Great pictures, thanks for sharing! |

Well done Jon Looks a fine machine, love the colour combination, never understood why they went back to all white. If I remeber rightly, does the timer sound like a rachet little incremental clicks etc?? I`m positive this should tumble both ways, most unusual not to,let us know what the noise level is like, I sold my cousin a matching set in the eighties but with the normal door, they have only just changed it after bringing up to kids, these machines are just real workhorses. Enjoy, Mike |

Can we hear a YAY!! and a WOO HOO! for Jon. What an exciting looking piece of laudnry maniac heaven. Personally, I think dacor dooors should be outlawed--I wanna always know I am looking at a washer or dryer. What's the kg size load it takes? Actually with the decor door closed, I could sweat it was a dishwasher. And I agree Mike, I really dislike the "all-white" panels when I see a fine example of this. That's all I've known in modern front loaders (or simply a monochromatic colour). Only the spacemates from the80s & early 90s had a bit of non-white on the front--but then, that was basically the only front loadr for us back then lol. Jon, I"m really poppin my buttons for ya. :-)

Dem's fightin words! Had to admit one took some time to get used to not being able to peer inside my Miele w1070 as it goes about it's business, but have rather grown to like the clean smooth lines and flat surfaces. Back on topic: What a lovely machine, congrats!!!!!!! Am rather jealous as your washer as several final spin speeds, my Miele has only the two (950 and 1100 rpms). Still due to the graduated spin and short 30 sec spin for some cycles really have not yet reall missed lower spin speeds. Usually spin my woolens at 1,000 or in the Hoover TT spinner anyway as wool is very elastic and quickly returns to shape if properly laundered in the first place. Think our machines are alike for their day as I too have yet to have an unbalanced load. No pfaffing around for spins either, yet the machine goes on to spin even a heavy towel load like it was a sack of feathers. Very best of British luck with your new baby! Oh yes, what a lovely mother you have to drive you that long way to fetch your new machine. Surely flowers or something won't go amiss. *LOL* Launderess |

My Miele 1070 does a graduated spin on all cotton cycles. For Permanent Press it will also do a graduated spin but advances the timer so there is only 30 seconds of final spinning. This last bit only happens if one presses the "rinse hold/short spin" button either before starting the PP cycle or after the cycle has completed. Otherwise at the end of the PP cycle machine just stops with laundry suspended in the final rinse water. Theory behind this option is PP and delicate articles should be removed from the washer soon as the cycle is completed. If one cannot do this, better to leave items in water and complete the cycle when one has the time. For "Delicates" and "Curtians" the same option exists. One either sets the machine to "drain" (drains water from machine while the wash drum remains stationary), or to "graduated spin" where it will go into final spin. The "rinse hold/short" spin button is only activated on (near as one can tell so far) the PP and Delicate cycles. That means if one has chosen "cottons" and presses the button, machine still will do a normal spin. As one is just learning about all this machine can do, could be wrong. One good thing is since the machine is timer controlled it is very easy to make custom cycles by fiddling with the knobs. L. |
