... Rhonic was talking about water consumption, not drum value.... | ||

This machine is an excellent machine for people with a large family or who do large loads, I had one until pretty recently, has a large 78 litre drum volume hence the high water consumption. It washed very well, with the standard cottons wash being just over an hour. Rinsing was excellent with a generous amount of water.
I now have an LG steam F1479FDS5 which is an amazing machine :) which mum decided to buy after seeing my aunts F1479FDS6 (same machine but black) Some people had many problems with the dyson's but mine was perhaps from a lucky batch as I only had one major problem with it, something to do with the planet carrier assembly. Still going strong, serving someone else as we needed the space for the LG. :) | ||

Wash time...
Another important element to be taken account in judging the machine capacity is the cycle profiles and wash times. The Dyson is fine for washing 7kgs of dry laundry but the LGs and other modern machines would be able to wash satisfactorily 11-12kgs in the same volume drum simply because of the extended wash time. The quick wash times of the Dyson would not be suitable to wash a load of clothes unless it sits comfortably in the drum. My 2 penny's...

you could extend the time by slecting heavy stains etc. Most European market machines are set up for long cycles/heavy soiling on their cotton programmes which is why the 2hr plus wash cycles are around - to counter lower water usage and large capacity/small (ish) drums...you still need to engage 'quick wash' options to get faster cycles or choose a specific 'quick' option, some of which use more water in the various components of the cycle to achieve the results we're used to with vintage Hoovers/Hotpoints/Servis machines in similar times.
Bosch is about the only manufacturer (in Oz at least) that sets cycle times on most new machines to what was the 'quick wash' default - around 60-75 minutes for a 40c cotton cycle.
What I'm basically saying is that the Dyson is a particularly water hungry machine for it's claimed capacity. If the cycle times are fast and the results excellent when used at capacity yet there is the option of a 'stained' or 'heavily soiled' cycle option, and by todays standards the capacity is small for the stated drum volume yet the water usage is very high, you can reasonably arrive at the conclusion that Dyson designed the machine to avoid long cycles for the majority of its use.
Most peoples clothes are not 'heavily soiled' and this does give the Dyson an additional marketing advantage - faster standard cycle times.
If accept that this machine would be handling 10kg in todays market, then 7kg is about right for the 'quick' cycle AND the water usage is still high.
Nobody is disputing the effectiveness of the wash though..... :) | ||
