Profiling System
Its the new profiling wash system, designed to break up the regular patterning that can develop with normal/similar speed wash actions, works particularly well on smaller loads giving them more "lift & Splash"...in these Mega Load machines, all to do with the motor wash rythm sensors etc....looks good in action dont you think??

Water
Hi David, All you need for an effective wash action in these machines are: 1. Enough water to "make the clothes dripping wet, and 2. A small amount in reserve to be heated, so the clothes can be dropped in it or it can be re-circulated/sprayed onto them... 3. Enough space in the drum to make the clothes "Drop& Flop" or "Lift & Splat" about in the drum, The best wash action you need to achieve for a cotton wash, are the clothes being driven to near the top of the drum and "dropped" . So the rule of thumb in any machine is: Cottons: load until the drum is full but you can put your arm freely over the top of them. Synthetics: load drum two thirds full Woollens: one third full Cheers, Mike | ||

Water Hi, Mike! No-one could have said better!!! That's it! For cottons you could have said also: 3/4 full Nonetheless I still love tub-washers so much.... Cheers, Ralf | ||

It is alot my Miele
Although, there was extended tumbling that is not there with mine.I think with the "Navitronics" like on this machine, it is a bit more intuitive than mine, which is now two years old. My is a touchtronic. In the US, at least for the moment, it is the only series that is avalible.This big machines, according to my sales person at Basco( Builders appliance supply company), they are slated to come out in early 2007.Greg, trust me, if it is a Miele, they do not compromise on anything. I use mine alot,.They are very sturdy machines.

Well, let me jump in here too... I kinda think it might also have something to do with the honeycomb tub and the smaller holes in it. There is alot more surface area of the drum with the smaller holes, therefore, there is less liquid exchange between inner and outer tub while agitating. If using a regular, brisk tumbling, water might be forced out of the holes creating and inequality between the two drums. The pause in between tumbling directions may not be long enough for the water to seep back into the inner drum, especially at a low water level and a load of wet clothes laying on the holes. Using this variable tumbling pattern, the water has a chance to seep back into the inner tub, resaturate the wash load, leech back out as the tumbling speeds up, seep back in as it slows down and ultimately stops before changing direction. What other variations on the tumbling are there between the cycles and options chosen? For example, on a "quick" cycle, does it do this variable speed pattern or is it all fast and quick tumbling? | ||

Sydneybiker!, I too had a Hoover New Wave, mine was a 1300 washer/dryer. I'm on a search for another one as i sold it because it wouldn't do 1300rpm and i had already replaced the dryer element and the brushes. I thought i'd just go get another one cheaply as they're fairly easy to find here. I found the spin washing absalutely fantastic. My favourite machine to date. Darren | ||
