Picked this up this morning, was locally on eBay. Bought it to use as a second machine, as it's portable enough to be wheeled away after use! |

And there we go! Using it for today's wash, liking it so far, nice and quiet - although the middle of the wood joist kitchen floor doesn't like it very well!

These machines are fascinating! The frontpanel, 3 washpaddles and easy to load drum and dispenser. If I ever had to buy a toploader this would be a choice. This or a Miele. |

That is amazing Jon! What strange letter choices for the partial programmes though - could these correspond to timer letters on an older model? |

Hi Finn,
The letters correspond to some European models which had letters for the cycle names... so A is cottons+linens, B is easy care, C is delicates, D wool, then E additional rinse, F soaking etc.

I am liking the machine, how do you like it John? Results as good as a Miele? @aldspinboy As far as I am aware, the Aqua spar system is to do with the paddles inside the drum - they hold a lot of water and shower the load as the drum tumbles. |

Does the Aquaspa wash system fill from three directions or is that the newer Aquaspa 3D model? |

I wish they sold these in Canada... I could put two of these side by side in the same space as a conventional washer in my laundry room. |

From what I've read, this appears to be a 7 KG machine, but the drum does look quite small.. (No offense!) Does anyone know what the capacity of the drum is in liters? (Or cu.ft ?) |
