Re: ISE and Beko: cycle times, noise levels
Thanks K, and by the way, congratulations and huge thanks to whoever wrote the article you linked to — it opened my eyes when I first started searching. Green though I am, I was then kinda hoping the ISE would not be AAA rated: I wonder how big the market is for a BBB machine, say, or CCB even (?!), that actually cleans your clothes like your old machine used to, without taking forever, come hell or high water consumption?
— At the risk of losing a sale… do you know if anyone still make such machines, anywhere?! 😕
— kitchenscience.co.uk claim the Bosch WAE2416S has a 40 degree cycle guide time of around 77 minutes. (Bosch themselves say 135mins for 60 degrees which, as your article says, noone uses.) Whereas all the Beko users complain about crazy cycle times (I assume at 40 degrees) of 2 and a half, or even three hours. Do you guys have a figure, however rough, for the ISE at 40 degrees? (Many TIA.)
