Customer Review

I have this machine now for two weeks.
The manual is a leaflet, as well as the assembly instructions. I am technically proficient, but not an expert. The construction and connection for me was easily possible. But in persons with little arm strength, I recommend a spotter since the plane orientation, the machine tilted slightly and then unscrewed one foot and has to be fixed with a lock nut. As tools and additional material is needed, therefore: screwdriver, spanner, level, hose clamp (Permanently mounted) and possibly a pipe wrench..
I have the very first day to the test five laundry loads washed with EcoPlus adjustment (1 × stained 60 ° C, 2 × Minimum iron 40 ° C, 1 × 30 ° C shirts and 1 × Easy care plus 30 ° C). After about 9 hours, the laundry was done, the EcoPlus setting has extended the washing time by approximately 15%. It consumed 215 liters of water, energy I have not measured. Everything has become clean and thanks to the different rotational programs the shirts are quite wrinkle-free and black lingerie (Easy Care Plus) without any residues.
My machine is pretty ideally situated in laminate (planar and kippelfrei, 2 cm space to the sides, 15 cm at the back); the spin is bearable noisy and there is no low-frequency oscillation noise, so that my neighbors are pleased. The spin result is in the normal programs acceptable, but in the special programs slightly worse (it relatively wrinkle free). The machine can be fully loaded only in Cottons / program; for all other programs will only 1/3 to 2/3 of the maximum load, ie 2.5 kg to 5 kg.
Even now after two weeks I am still very satisfied. I wash exclusively with the EcoPlus setting because I want to see at the end of the quarter time, how much the new machine affects the total energy consumption.
_________
Addendum: now are around more than three months. The machine washes still impeccable and I have a few more practical construction details noticed. Firstly, no more socks can wander behind the drum by a completely different structure of the drum and seal. On the other hand, the program can still modify during washing (temperature, extra rinse, anti-crease). When nächträglichen change the spin speed, however, manure has been programmed: If the spin speed is singed up to "no spin", the program can no longer spin switch 'Too bad.
Electricity and water consumption have fallen significantly. In the same period I have spent with my 5 year old Constructa about 2 cubic meters of water and 30 kWh more.
_________
Addendum: For two years, the machine is now in use. The buttons on the front now need a little more pressure, but otherwise everything is perfect. Once a quarter, the rinse tray is washed out and carried out a hot wash with detergent and white (because of the bleach) to clean the innards of the machine. I am still very happy with the machine and can recommend them for a two-person household.
