The option buttons aren't 100% self explanatory but Ive eventually memorised what they are for.

Hi Chris, it also does power stream washing, yes, I have some videos of it on my channel, the rinses are long so even if it rinses with a low water level, it gets excess detergent out well. Tom. CLICK HERE TO GO TO aegokocarat's LINK | ||

Interesting looking machine. I like the temperature controls that has settings between 60 and 95 degrees. And what a big door!

Thanks Foraloysius :) the door opening is brilliant, the temperature selection is brilliant too :) Tom | ||

Its been in for nearly a week and so far its been fantastic :) The eco 40*c wash takes forever but it uses a lot of water and it produced results as good as the samsung and the miele. Tom | ||

Yes it is. How come the Miele's for example be programmed for high level rinses yet still be graded A rated? Unless they are marked on A rated for low level water use on wash so the heater doesn't have as much water to heat? | ||

"Interesting that an eco cycle uses a lot of water"
I thought so 2... perhaps they don't account for water usage when assigning a score/letter for the energy label. My Hoover Dynamic uses bucket loads of water on almost every cycle and it's rated A+++ for energy use. The only way to make it use less water is to set it on the 14 minute cycle or put it on a standard cycle with only a few items in! But that would defeat the object of using less water as 1'd have to do more loads to get everthing washed :-P

With reguard to water levels, if you select extra rinse it adds a little more water to some of the cycles. The machine is still impressing us and I highly recomend these machines, they look nice imo and dont look cheapy like the AM made machines. Tom | ||

Hi Tom. Congrats on the new purchase. As has been said by the others, it will be interesting to hear how your opinions of the machine develops, being one of the early owners of this new generation of Servis. Paul | ||

Hey Paul, So far its been brilliant, but time will tell. The only thing I would change if I could are the symbols for the options as they are a little confusing but there are only 3 main options I use anyway lol :) Tom | ||

Energy rating? As far as I know washing machines (and dishwashers) are rated using a cycle specified by the manufacturer. Usually this cycle is well hidden and no one ever uses it :-/ Am I wrong? | ||

Clear as mud...
Paulc... I always thought exactly that, but I'm starting to doubt it since my latest machine uses potentially more water on the 'Cotton 60' cycle... especially when washing darks/bright coloureds. When I wash a load of whites/lights it uses less water but nowhere near the water consumption declared my the manufacturer (and still much more than my older machine).
Donprohel, if it was as you said, then they could base the machine's water consumption even on a partial cycle (rinse only, quick 15, etc) and that would just be out of order! The only rational conclusion I can come to is that water consumption is not accounted for when assigning energy ratings. I'm saying this based on my experience with one machine only (Hoover Dynamic)... you never know, it might even be faulty :-P | ||

Energy efficiency of washing machines in the EU is calculated on the 60 deg cotton programme and the 40deg cotton programme. I'm not sure what cycle is used to calculate dishwasher efficiency. Here is an older article from Which? magazine.

Haxisfan
The energy rating is based on how much electricity is used to wash 6kg at 40deg and 60deg as far as I can tell. I presume your washer is a large capacity machine and therefore would use more water when washing a full load. Possibly an more accurate test for water consumption would be how much water is used per KG of laundry.

AFAIK They don't calculate water consumption for energy ratings... Shame on them. | ||

This one is just rated A+. One thing I forgot to mention is that when the machine goes to acellerate from the slower spins to 1000(I think) and above, you will see the machine bop along the lower rpms, shift up a little and then you will hear it CLICK into the higher speeds. Tom | ||
