    Yesterday we ordered a machine made by LG.

    We have Solar Panel

    They tell me all there machines are capable of HOT & cold fill.

    It is a LG WM14445FS 1400RPM if you want one go into Curry's shop and pick up a leaflet there is more information on it than I could find on there web site, I then ordered it online.

    It is apparently the only thing that can be bought with Hot + cold fill.
    John Lewis no longer sell them I thought they imported units made in U.S.A

    It will be interesting to see if our electric bills drop as I am hoping.

    well, it's a bit of an old thread but all the search threw up... Does anyone know of any currently available hot & cold fill machines?

    The machine is going right next to the DHW cylinder, so pipe losses ought to be "minimal" if I could find a machine with a hot fill capability. Does anyone have any advice?

    Thanks

    -Steve

    If this is as good as it claims, it will be very good. Prioritises hot water supply too.

    For anyone wanting to do more research on this machine it is a re-badged Asko which is part of the Gorenje Group.

    I think the comparable model is the Asko W6884 Eco.

    Looks like a good machine, if expensive but cheaper than Miele and the Asko company tag line is "Built to last longer".

    I can testify to the longevity of the Asko machines. When my sister-in-law moved into sheltered housing we bought her 14-year-old Asko off her, still immaculate, and ran it for another ten years. We replaced it only because no one could get a replacement part for it after I'd dropped a full "family sized" box of washing powder onto the open detergent drawer. It would probably have still run for another ten years if I'd duct-taped over the resulting hole and used those little capsule thingies you put in with the wash instead. Wives are so fussy!

    I just love his Important disclaimer on the home page!

    It is possible to hurt your self. You can cut, burn, choke, poison, or scald yourself messing about with this. You could also fall from the roof or fall down the ladder with a cable around your neck on to a wooden stake. You could electrocute your self ( with power tools ). Blow lamps can explode and solder flux can give you dermatitis. You could get tetanus or blood poisoning from a splinter or paper cut. You could have an accident on the way to B&Q in the car. So if you follow these instructions its at your own risk. Wear goggles, steel toe cap boots, thick leather gloves, a face mask and hard hat at all times. Use an RCD and proper scaffolding . Never work outside in a thunder storm. Anything you do is your own fault, it's not my fault. I am not your mum. Good Luck see you in the next life.
