That's really great to hear Now I want one. The older machines were kind of meh always in my opinion. Load sensing didn't drop time much. And redults were good, but nothing special. | ||

It has a sealed tub...! Bosch lists it as Item: 0308 - 'Oscillating System Complete'. Scroll through the exploded diagrams to '5/5'. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Rolls_rapide's LINK | ||

 Mat, thank you for all the videos. I've just looked at the first 2 or 3. I still get so darn jealous of all the flexibility and command of specific temperatures rather than word descriptions with no real idea of what cool, warm, hot and extra hot mean on our front loaders here. Love the intense recirculating spray. The Whirlpool/Maytag are quite anemic in comparison and even the LG Turbowash spray during wash & rinse. I look forward to viewing all the videos over the next day or two. Sad to know in reality, most Americans wouldn't know how to deal with such choices and being able to be ore specific in temperatures and spin speeds. But I wonder if bosch will present an Americanized version of these some day. | ||

cottons What is the default setting for the cottons cycle? I'd like to see how it would perform with the jets active. I'm sure this washer would give lg a run for their money on the comparable cotton/normal cycle. | ||

Towels Programme with jet 60C jet action on the Towels cycle. (about 3/4 full of towels) Uses plenty of water! The jet really helps give such splash! Very Deep cooldown level. | ||

thanks for the cycle info Thanks for the cycle info. I'd love to see how the default cottons cycle performs. Do the jets come on automatically, or can you add that option? | ||

Modern load sensing European front loaders
For certain programs no longer recommend loading to full capacity as in drum volume minus that formed fist.
This and you'd be surprised what these machines consider 100% rated load. Filing drum barely three-quarters with AEG Lavamt of mixed load will read "100%". Loading drum full as with older Miele W1070 (to top minus that fist) will have machine reading 110% or 120% meaning it is over loaded. Terry cloth items of course are very absorbent. The more "thick and thirsty" or large in size, the greater amount of water they hold. In terms of a washing machine you have to consider weight of items when fully wet, and of course how to handle extraction of all that water. When doing very absorbent loads in AEG (towel, a blanket, etc....) machine will often have to stop or greatly slow down spinning to allow pump to catch up. It just sits there with pump pulse cycling on and off until sump is clear. If this water is also full of froth that just adds to machine's work. Finally of course they just don't built them like they used to. Ten kilograms of dry toweling/absorbent items is easily weighs twice or more when fully wet, that can put strain on certain parts I shouldn't wonder if they aren't built to last. | ||

Thank you for the explanation. I have to admit, I do go buy volume of what's filling up the drum with towels. I have 2 sets of larger than usual towels I bought at Target several years ago. They were "guest towel" status for a long time and weren't used much. The bath towels aren't "bath sheet" size, but are the biggest towels I have snd they are quite thick. There are a total of 8 towels, wash cloths, and some hand towels that comprise this load. The other 6 towel sets are anywhere from 1982 to 1988 purchase dates. So they've lost a lot of their bulk/thickness over time, but till dry nicely. I don't quit using towels until holes appear and they last a lot longer with the front loader than with the Lady Shredmore. The load has just enough of the fist at the top of the load. And truth be told, the load balances better this full vs. 3/4 full. And all my loads try to pretty much consist of like items in style and weight (as per a Sears repairman from early 1960s). I don't do loads of mixed various weights and types. i.e. shirts & pans or underwear and sheets. | ||

How much one can fill Miele W1070 with, versus what one should are two different things.
Learned long ago filling Big Bertha to that proverbial "fist width of room" at top can cause a load so heavy tub scrapes bottom underneath. More so during rinses where this washer uses copious amounts of water (compared to modern units anyway). After spending dear to have shocks replaced, and rather more so for suspension springs am in no mood to push things. This is probably is reason behind the abuse Americans put front loaders through, and why so many end up as toast after barely a few years of service. Constant over loading probably brought on by wanting to get things over with quicker by shoving much as possible into machine. Then again have seen people do same at laundromats. Literally having to lead (or use their foot) to get door closed. | ||

And yet Laundress's video shows the recommendation to ALWAYS load the Unimac washer FULLY. They go by weight, and she even adds a couple extra towels.
The key is that when wet the towels bed down, and the thing to watch for is to make sure the laundry drops from the "2 o'clock to 8 o'clock position". This indicates proper loading.

Thank you for sharing those great videos! Love the details on them. I have a 2 year old Siemens IQ500 series set. My washing machine doesn't have a few interesting options yours have. I love the spray jet. It certainly helps with washing duvets. Mine always struggles with that, I have tried several programmes. I also like the intensive button, adds some time to some programmes that are a bit on the short side. Also the 70 and 80 degrees settings are great to have. I can wash on 70 degrees though by choosing the eco programme on 90. Keeping an eye on your Youtube channel!

There is likely a very good reason why the Europeans go by load weight, not volume. Volume is highly variable depending on the fabric type. It's weight that taxes the machinery most.
Next time I'm really going to try to stuff five bath sheets into the W1918. I will let you know the result. It will take a little bit longer to accumulate them, though.
If the Miele can handle the same load as the Neptune, that would be very cool. | ||

Early on in days of semi and fully automatic washing machines American housewives (or anyone else doing the wash) were routinely advised to weigh laundry.
Capacity of average washing machine then was between seven to eight pounds. Scales were common enough in American homes for weighing all sorts from infants to various kitchen uses (canning, cooking, baking, etc...). This or laundry manuals, owners manuals from washing machines, along with various consumer/ housekeeping manuals had charts giving weights of common domestic textiles. Such as shirts, sheets, pillow slips, dresses, etc.... You counted up what was being washed, then did the sums. That being said different methods of laundry had obviously various requirements. Maytag wringer washers were only to be loaded with enough wash so things moved freely, this regardless of total weight. By and by some variation of this advice became standard for American preferred top loaders. When you get down to it all washing machines should be loaded only so things can move easily. You'll never get 11lbs or whatever rated capacity of bed sheets into most domestic washing machines, top or side loading. | ||

I wouldn`t say that weight of dry(!) clothes taxes machinery most.
Just think of a large synthetic filled comforter. Weighs next to nothing when dry but once it`s soaking wet it probably weighs a ton. In contrast a full load of heavy denim is quite heavy when dry but might not add that much weight when wet because of rather low absorbency. To make things even more complicated I think those ratings by dry weight in Europe are based on mixed loads of strictly standardized fabric types which in real life situation are a very rare occurrence. | ||
