Hi Mark, I have just sold my top loading kenmore washer dryer combo unit, and i agree with you that although it spun at about 600 rpm the clothes were actualy quite dry - it was rated as G for energy, G for cleaning and F for spinning - but i dont think this is a fair test as it doesnt have a 60*c cycle to test... make sense? i have put a link to take you to the ebay page... hope it works CLICK HERE TO GO TO chrisbsuk's LINK on eBay |

Fair or not, these figures are based on research. They probably calculated in the energy that is needed to heat the water in an external water heater, which makes sense ofcourse. Here's a link to a G-force calculator. Get the measure tape out and have some fun. Make sure you measure the radius of the drum and not the diameter. And it's in millimeters! The radius of my Miele W715 is about 235mm, the max. spinspeed is 1400rpm, so G = 515 units. My Miele spindryer measures 120mm, the spinspeed is 2800rpm. G = 1053 units.

not seen a 1000 spin hotpoint on sale for a while. Do they stil claim 1000rpm can achieve a B rating? That always got me why zanusis which imo spin better at 1000 but only got a C. I judge this by identical loads and their drying times in the same dryer. About 20 mins difference and the hotpoint spun for longer.

Actually if you look at Hotpoint's spin ratings, it seems they don't fluctuate between the machines... in the brochure all the Aquarius models have 54% remaining moisture in the load, whether they are 1400 or 1000 spin! Jon |

I know - but it's a thing Hotpoint have done on the Aquarius range ever since the first WMA machines came out in 2000! Jon |

1400 Spin Beko Machines are AAA Rated, apparently they ramp upto 1400 for a min or so slow down adn ramp back upto 1400 for 3 minutes or so, does spinning the load twice actually remove more water ?? Take Care Dan |
