"The water is heated not only with a conventional heating system, but new. With an energy-saving, highly efficient heat pump Much like a heat pump for a house. Depending on the selected washing temperature is the system even without connected conventional heating.
Operation The Adora SLQ WP is how to operate the models without heat pump, very easy. How much energy will be saved, you decide for yourself, you have the possibility to choose between three different levels EcoHybrid. The preferred level, you can save such that it is used for each wash. The good thing about the various stages The Adora SLQ WP adapts to your wishes regarding energy conservation. The diagram explains the various EcoHybrid levels using a 60 - ° C program." |

"A convincing cleaning concept
Thanks to the great and smooth screen surface dust and lint are retained optimal - so your laundry soft and fluffy always remains. In addition, the new door filter can be cleaned easily and conveniently. Secure system for long life By Frontsieb ensures that even the finest particles remain and the heat pump system can maintain its high power constant. It can be cleaned with little effort. Careful and gentle drying In the large 7-kg Honeycomb drum, the laundry is gently moved and is thus pretty dry evenly. The textiles are less wrinkled and can be easily ironed. Another contributing factor in reversing the (mutually rotating) honeycomb drum, which can be set independently using the new ReversierenPlus." |

Are English manuals online yet? When I read about the new line like a week ago, there was nothing. I think it works kinda similar to Bosch's heat-exchanger they use in their dishwashers - if I understood the patend information correctly. And before you ask... the detailed information regarding Zug's patend and how it works is in German. I might add the link later (am writing this from my phone).

Stunning appliances! But also with a high pricetag. The washer is 5930 Swiss francs, so around 4800 Euros or 6500 American dollars. The dryer is 4900 Swiss francs, 4000 Euros or 5400 American dollars. But for that money you get the latest technology. And no dumbing down of water temperatures ofcourse!
There is not only a heat pump in this machine, but also a regular heater. You can choose if you want to use one of them or both. Using the heat pump only is the most energy efficient, but I assume that takes longer. A pity the manual is not of the new model. |

Every model in that line has a different display. The TOL SLQ and the SLQ WP have the multicolour touch display. I wish they had put the new manual online instead of the old one. I'm looking forward to read how the operation of the machine goes.
The new detergent dispenser looks good. But they don't explain much more than that it is easier to clean. The new Adora with heat pump uses 55% less energy than the normal models. Correction on the previous post: There are three choices for heating: 1. Only heat pump; 2. Mostly heat pump with help of a traditional heating element; 3. Half heat pump, half traditional heater. |

Plastic tubs mean nothing in terms of reliability,
They resist coin damage much more than any enamel tub could ever resist and they insulate the heat of the wash water better than any other material out there resulting in economy. They dont make cookware and pans from stainless steel for no reason other than looks. Its because it conducts heat well amongst other reasons. Judging by how thin some stainless steel tubs can be Id take my bets on plastic being more ressiliant in the long run against stray items inevitabbly finding their way into the machine. Now as for the gurantee some manufacturers have different ideas granted but dont judge any book by its covers before you have looked at the appliance and experienced it for yourself which you quite clearly have not. Flip side - Dyson offer a 5 year gurantee on their cleaners, Why? because it was the only way Which? would ever reccomend them as the reliability is so poor that for the money they ask they are not good value for money. Dyson offer the gurantee as they know customers will need to use it. |

This may be an interesting link for people to have a look at regarding warranty and guarantees.
'How long do the consumer guarantees last for? The consumer guarantees are not limited to a set time period. Instead, they last for the amount of time that is reasonable to expect given the cost and quality of the item or any representations made about the item. This means that a consumer may be entitled to a remedy after any voluntary or extended warranty has expired. For example, a car would be expected to last longer than a television, and a television would be expected to last longer than an inexpensive toy. A more expensive fridge would also be expected to last longer than an inexpensive fridge.' Effectively, our legislation ties warranty to a comparative purchase price/value of good scenario - you would justifiably expect a V Zug to last longer than an Electrolux....so regardless of the card that comes with the machine stating 12 months warranty, there is a legal obligation here to warrant goods that are effectively sold as a 'quality option' based on the consumers reasonable expectation of longevity.

And I'm not saying this to rain on anyone's parade. It's pretty in a stark and minimalistic way, but far too expensive for what it does and is. |

*LOL*
Generations ago and maybe still for all one knows all over Europe you had "hand ironing" rooms pretty much laid out the same. Rows of ironing boards and women who stood over them for eight or more hours per day doing the ironing part of "hand laundry" services. Of the places that remain today however the ironing boards are usually vacuum/blow up jobs and the irons fed from steam boilers or some such device. If the V-Zug "no iron" program is anything like the one on my Oko-Lavamat it simply uses a combination of controlled tub action and no spins between rinses. Water temp is limited to about 40C and the final spin though fast (1200rpms) is <3mins. For lightweight percale or such things come out ready to iron. Heavier shirts will need to "drip dry" somewhat as they come out nearly wet, especially areas made with double layers of fabric such as collars and cuffs. In an odd but interesting twist my older Miele does pretty much the same for it's "Permanent Press" cycle, minus the controlled drum actions. Again simply no spins between the four rinses, but one gets a series of short burst spins. Result is still the same, many items are much to wet for ironing and will need to be hung for drying. All of these programs it seems require one to load the washer at about half capacity in order to achieve the best "no iron" results. |

The manual says for this option:
For washing requiring very gentle treatment - Reduced washing action - Higher water level during washing and rinsing
