Bought one of these when they where released and returned it within a few weeks because it was so noisy!! TBH it wasn’t a good wash, the LG with six wash action makes more sense. Dyson where trying to recreate the action that the Hoover keymatic had, and to be honest was a very good design!!
Josh Mottram - at my work, we have a commercial Electrolux washer (being replaced - has electronic fault with drain valve motor and heating element has failed) door is attached directly to the outer drum - has special cutout in front panel and shakes with the drum when unbalanced, in comparison to domestic washers that the door is attached to the front panel and a rubber sleeve/gasket/grommet between the panel and the outer drum. This Dyson washer has 2 doors - the inner door is attached to the outer drum and is seen shaking in unbalanced load. 😉
My childhood washing machine, thought it was amazing when we had it in grey! Shame it blew a fuse in the house and now replaced with a Hotpoint extra still going today!
I first saw these in the Argos catalog in the washing machine section and it was the yellow/orange themed one - similar to their vacuum cleaner range, this washer is the purple theme. The outer door handle, detergent drawer and pump filter cap, are the coloured translucent plastic parts. I think you could see the water in the drawer and filter? I then wanted one and asked my parents if we could buy one, but our washer was being rented from a white goods firm as they cost a lot of money and it was expensive, so we didn’t get it 😕 He didn’t see if the water is visible through the drawer and filter cap - if we had bought it I would looked at the water poring into the drawer (washing out the detergent) and filling up in the filter (and being pumped out, and seeing how much water is being spun out of the laundry) - would have enjoyed seeing that as it would have a scientific aspect to how it works. Also the split counter rotating drum would have been interesting to see if it worked. I have a scientific mind. Unfortunately I was disappointed that he didn’t zoom in on the drawer or filter cap so we could see the water in them. Could you do that in the next video of this washer? 😉😀🤗
Once the machine is fully repaired. I will do that. You carnt see water going in the detergent drawer but you can see water being sucked through the filter cap.
Owned the CR02 for over 10 years and never had an issue with it beyond the display slowly dying, Loved it to bits and still miss it, If it's any help - Engineering mode is - Hold the temperature button down while powering on then quickly press the soil level button, Then during a wash you can use 2 of the buttons (sorry - Cant remember which but it's either temperature, spin speed or soil level) to so step forward and backwards threw the program, It also shows how many washes its done, current temperature, Rotation speed and the code for what step its doing, It also clears any errors, To exit just power cycle
I never liked these machines because ours replaced a Hotpoint 95 machine we had that I dearly loved and the repairman was out on a regular basis with the number of problems it had over the years. First lasted us 10 years but God knows how many repairs were required over the years to keep it going that long
As well as the bearings gone, I'm not sure if there's something wrong with the Spider... every time it goes on interspin and the final spin, the drum doesn't to seem to spin level with the seal, even when the whole inner unit is moving... plus during on interspin drain and the final spin, the pump did seem to stop working for a while
I never liked the contra rotating drum idea; surely it must wear out the clothes more; and the larger the load the more it will wear them out (doesn't look too bad with only a small load as per the video). In a standard tumble washer over loading only leads to less agitation and even less wear. All we wanted in the UK was a reliable UK designed and built washing machine without too much complication (at least that's what I wanted). Now that Hotpoint is foreign owned the brand quality has been damaged (when Italian owned - perhaps Whirlpool will improve the quality). I think the demise of Servis (as a totally British company before it was purchased by first an Italian company and finally by a Turkish company) was very sad btw; they made quality machines (e.g. the drum bearings lasted really well) but probably didn't emphasise the quality angle enough in advertising. Also their machines looked like toys in the end compared to others since they failed to make larger machines.
Honestly if they release a new aversion using something like a brushless DC motor direct drive motor and a better Antivibration system, this will works much better and much quieter, and possibly lower cost but overall still high but it will actually go against something like Bosch or Miller, Their competitor is not LG but it’s actually does high-end brands that focus on longevity and performance.
Mrlaundry101 - he didn’t show us the filter cap, it and the detergent drawer is translucent purple and assume you can see the water in them - I don’t know if Dyson has programmed it to operate the pump like that/it has developed an electronic fault? 🧐
Marco Morel - it saves energy to turn off the pump when there isn’t a lot of water being spun out of the laundry, this is what frustrates me with most washing machines is the pump is left on throughout the spin cycle. At my work, we have a commercial Electrolux washer (being replaced) that has a motorised drain valve that’s held open by a spring (in the event of a power failure during the wash/rinse cycle, the valve opens and lets the water out) in this case, it is just as inefficient as the pump, as it has to close the valve against the spring during the wash/rinse cycles, however as the water backs up, down the drain pipe (easily fixed with a one way valve attached to the pump outlet) depends on the capacity of the filter housing and the short rubber pipe between the f.housing and the outer drum. In the case of the Dyson washer - the pump stopped during the initial spin up, causing the water to fill up the filter housing and the short pipe and pooling at the bottom of the outer drum 😧, the spinning inner drum catches the pooled water and throws it up - causing it to cascade over the door window = us to witness the severe water-lock. I’d assume that it was an electronic malfunction and if I was observing it, I would have removed the drain pipe from the stack pipe and put the end into a bowl on the floor to manually drain it to stop the water-lock.
I own the wonder clean also gentlewasher that was costly. Both hand cranked. I have no problems with the process. Have a wringer scrubboards and old-fashioned rapidwasher. When I get done I have clean clothes for real. Hate laundromat due to broken equipment attendance sweeping while you're folding clothes or clothes in dryer attendance decide to clean linttrap. Took me years to get my system and to be OK with it. Not afraid of hard work. But if I spend money it will be for my taste. Also make my own cleaning supplies for laundry.
@@whichwasher2007 I thought it might be something to do with the board as I have a spare one in the spare box along with a gear box do I need to use that
@@whichwasher2007 Thanks for this video. But I'm interested in why you hate Dyson vacuum cleaners (apart from the cloud of dust when you empty the bin). I thought they might be a bit hard on a quality carpet perhaps. I understand that the German make Sebo is highly thought of. Please advise.
pls take care of this washer it's really REALLY RARE! try cleaning it once for mont etc. pls it's one of 100000 washing machines and almost half of them the contra rotator broke! and they got corroded
Very noisy dont like ti, like i dont like at all the dyson v11 vacum cleaner! 800 euro of bad plastic never change my worverk kibold any more for others
like all dyson stuff. i do love the unique design and contra rotation, but these were plagued with problems, this has managed 17 years without its F11 bridge replaced, and contra disabled, and list of other problems these get.
