[F&P] - Mixed 30 with ActiveIntelligence

Hey Everyone,

So I had something new delivered a couple of weeks ago!

It's still settling in... I have very soft suspended floors, and according to the delivery drivers it's a very heavy machine (140kg) so it rattles a little. You'll hear this mainly on the final spin which is a shame as otherwise it's incredibly quiet. I'm working on fixing this.

This is the Mixed programme (previously Everyday) It's a great 59min short wash with a higher water level, temp held wash and spin rinsing. It's even shorter with the Speed option, lower temps or the Low Soil option.

ActiveIntelligence weighs the load and then fills with the predicted amount of water needed to saturate the load. I believe it does this to calibrate the soil sensor which would otherwise be hindered by repeated top ups and a partial dry load. This means once it's filled it can detect the soil level within 4-6 tumbles.

During the first fill it dispenses the amount of detergent needed for that exact size load at the lightest soil level. Then adds more detergent for dirtier loads once the soil level is detected. It also begins heating as soon as it completes that first fill. The machine comes with manual Light, Medium and Heavy soil settings if you don't want to use ActiveIntelligence... however, ActiveIntelligence seems to be accurate and has many more variables beyond the basic 3 available in the menu. For example, the quickest cycle I could programme without ActiveIntelligence is 49mins, however I've seen it as low as 39mins so far when washing a small load with ActiveIntelligence switched on, no options.

Hope you enjoy this video.
