Which are the worst washers to buy?

[kwatt]

Someone told me it had two motors, I ain’t got a clue ’cause only MI5 is allowed to see inside a Dyson washer! 😉 If not it must have a gearbox or some intricate pulley arrangement I guess to give the contra-rotation.

If anyone out there remembers the old Zerowatt 1000 they’ll understand my fears of this kind of thing. 😆

Alex, I laughed so hard at that simple remark which means some other poor sod remembers them too. 😆

It has 2 motors but just one belt which runs round both of them. There’s a solenoid that engages to cause the contra rotation but I couldn’t work out why 2 motors. I should have taken the belt off and run it before installing it but I didn’t. I could have then seen if both run simultaneously or not.

I can’t understand why it needs 2 motors unless it’s a bizarre way of sharing the strain instead of using a much bigger more powerful one. I couldn’t believe it when I saw the 2 motors using one belt.

I’d whip it out and had a proper look but I have to dismantle half my kitchen and disconnect my dishwasher to get to it.

Get a grip guy’s……..It’s a Dyson!……. OK ?…..of course it has got 2 motors…..logical necessity……… One for chewing up your best shirt! The other for collecting dust from your underwear!

Dysons
The contarotating drums are operated by a planetary gearbox on the back of the tank.

The new “14” series Beko’s are quite good really and SEME has all the bits at sensible prices. They’ve still got to recover from the awfulness of the “10” series. Door knobs and exploding modules….
