H-axis washing has been around for about a century and it`s tried and proven in its lift and drop only action.
From what I gather here in the forum neither the Keymatics nor the Dysons were exactly easy on clothes nor worked very well. It`s just another useless gimmick in my opinion just like the addwash door, the eco-bubbles, the 6 (or was it 8 ?) motions, the silver cold wash, a special cycle for shirts, jeans and pillows and so on. I don`t need any of this. The 4 basic cycles (Normal, PP, Delicates, Wool) along with some options and variable spin speeds solved me every thinkable washing problem to perfection so far. Only thing I miss at modern washers is an infinite temperature control. I wonder if they finally gave up on that stupid idea of having a larger than 6 kg load in a standart cabinet we might not be bothered by those ridiculous long wash times and those questionable remedies like the Quickdrive. |

Approach really cleaned very well - but it wasn't far removed from pounding clothes on stones in terms of wear and tear. I had a neighbor with one in Munich. She's very much into 'design' and that Dyson does have. After two months of seeing really well made clothes disintegrate, she got rid of it and brought the Miele back up from the Keller. Actually, her husband, two sons and I brought it back up. Heavy beast! End of the quick cycles, but just as clean clothes and no wear and tear. All these ideas are interesting, but at some point it might be productive for manufacturers to do patent research and see what others have tried and consumers rejected in the past. |

Hold the phone.
Agárrate al teléfono. accroche-toi au téléphone. halten Sie das Telefon. "Samsung WW6850N washing machine With more Millennials than ever buying homes, this new cohort of digitally savvy homebuyers is demanding home appliances that incorporate meaningful, personalized technology to e...." I've been told ad nauseum that Millennials are destroying everything sacred and avoiding homes like the plague? Or simply unable to afford them, maybe ever. I'm so confused. |

Miele prices without Miele's quality. I see they've also switched to 'in-drawer autodose dispensers'. Didn't the previous auto dose have a reservoir in the porthole area? |

Intriguing idea, if they can keep it working. Adding more mechanical layers usually ends badly, but points for effort.

Off-topic but:
While the mere mention of millennials is able to send many members of this forum into fits, making me almost afraid to comment, I have to point out that "more millennials then ever buying homes" is basic statistics. Millennials are regarded as the generation aged roughly 19-34. The national association of realtors reports that the median homebuyer's age is 36. Thus it's a simple deduction that almost half of homebuyers are millennials (we'll lump that extra two years in since generational division isn't an exact science), and that proportion is only going to grow as this generation starts families and the boomers' numbers start to dwindle. That might lead you to ask why so many have been shrieking about millennials refusing to buy homes--and you would have a point. Here's the difference: that generation put off home buying much longer than other generations as they entered the "traditional" home buying age right as the housing market collapsed in 2008. (Remember that the upper limit of millennials would have been in their mid-twenties at the time, when previous generations were buying starter homes). The traditional arc of home ownership was buying a starter home, allowing it to appreciate for a few years, then upgrading, and so on. The subsequent recovery of the housing market in the past decade left millennials holding far less real estate capital than other generations--so now they have less leverage when it comes time to buy. This difficulty is compounded by the fact that builders largely do not build starter homes as much as they used to as the profit margins are much lower than on luxury homes. Anyway, to make a long story short: 1. Yes, millennials are buying more homes than ever, because they make up a larger segment of the population than ever. 2. Fewer millennials are buying homes *proportionally*, relative to previous generations, and when they do decide to buy, it is later in life than older generations experienced, and they are buying homes they can stay in a long time, not really interested in constantly upgrading and "keeping up with the Joneses". And can you blame them? Disclaimer: I am not a realtor, an economist, nor do I know anything about the real estate market outside of the US. |
