I don't blame you Henrik. I've seen 'the improvement made it worse' scenario so many times, leads me to conclude these are typical firmware writers with no earthly idea how the actual task is best performed. That is, he/she has never actually DONE laundry. Or if they have, it's as a mindless reflex.

Do these washers run under Windows, perchance??? ;-) Sorry, couldn't resist... Windaz has gone rapidly downhill since 98/XP IMHO ;) All best Dave T |

Didn't want to open a new thread: Grundig (made by Arcelik, same as Beko) has launched a A+++-70% washer. 4:20h cycle time, and 310W energy usage. For 9kg. At 48l. I think we reached insanity at this point.

What would the impact of all that extra time in the washer mean on the impact of the clothing's fibres? Surely it must have a negative effect, meaning your clothes will get worn out more quickly??? Can't be good for them. Regards |

Good point about the impact of excessively long cycles on clothes.
Let`s not forget that growing new cotton to replace prematurely worn clothes might take a lot more water than what is used for washing. Aside from the costs for new clothes what about the energy used in production and for shipping around the globe ? Toxic chemicals released into the envionment during production and so on. Is it really worth it ? I have my doubts. Unfortunately the short cycles of those super efficient washers usually cut a rinse or don`t clean well. Gosh I`m so glad I`m not in the market for a new washer right now ! |
