I was recently over in the states. I went into an appliance store to see what sort of appliances they sell over there. I actually came across some Bosch front loaders like here. i noticed 3 differences with them. Where the spin speed adjustment is instead of 400, 800 , 1200 etc it had slow spin, medium spin and high spin etc. Also there were no temp settings or no FD numbers..
On chatting with the sales guy about this, the reason is that if the machine said 1200 spin he claims someone without doubt will actually measure the rpm and if it was only say 1180rpm and not the full 1200 they might sue
. Also the same goes for the water temp, if it’s not 40 degrees and only say 37 they might sue also LOL…I’m guessing the lack of a FD number maybe because if someone bought a machine and seen that it was in the shop 6 months or so they maybe a law suit over that too 😆Re: Found this amusing..

Pretty sure the average american has no idea of what the actual temperatures are as they are normally related to how hot their hot water system is. Would think if these are cold fill machines they will have trouble shifting them.
Ditto with the spin speed, they are used to slow, very slow and super slow!
