Recommended Washer(s) With More User Friendly Controls?

Thanks for that!

Depending on what happens with the sale of my Bosch, I may go for a Asko washer. Miele are just a bit too pricey for me at this time, although Asko washers are not much cheaper!

“Good” and “Cheap” rarely appear in the same sentence comfortably in my experience. 😉

Re: Recommended Washer(s) With More User Friendly Controls?

On further research from posts at these forums and from web searches, I have narrowed the choice of washers down to Asko (W6222 or W6342), or Electrolux (EWF1090). The LG washers I was considering also do not appear to have all the features I prefer, so they have been eliminated.

Regarding the Electrolux EWF1090 washer, I believe the main problem with these washers is the tendency for coins, buttons etc to become trapped between the outer and inner drums, and cause the inner drum to seize or fail to rotate. However, it is my understanding that this issue has been rectified in the latest models of the EWF1090 series.

IF I wind up buying an Electrolux EWF1090 washer, how do I know if I have the latest model that prohibits small loose items becoming trapped between the drums (without resorting to loose coins and buttons test)? After a certain serial number on the washer perhaps?

Depending on how much I realise on the sale of my Bosch, will in turn determine whether I go for an Electrolux or an Asko.

The only true solution for foreign bodies dropping under the drum is to empty your pockets……… 😀

Ah . . yes, that does help! 🙂

However, the problem of buttons coming off clothes during washes is still a risk. Although that risk can be minimised by checking the integrity of the thread holding the buttons before washing.

Anyway, I would be keen to hear from bigsmokepiper or anyone else who could advise how it is possible to tell if I have an updated model Electrolux EWF1090 washer that prevents coins and buttons etc. from becoming caught between the drums. ❓

Anyone, please?
