Dyson Contrarotator
TM
Conventional washing machines may seem convenient,
but their poor performance lets you down. So James Dyson
asked his engineers to experiment with every imaginable way
of washing to design a better washing machine.
Along the way, Dyson engineers made a surprising discovery:
washing by hand gave better wash results than single drum
machines. Because the laundry is constantly on the move,
it is manipulated and flexed. This opens the fabric to the
detergent, releasing dirt quickly and effectively.
To replicate the movement of washing by hand, Dyson
engineers designed two aligned drums and engineered them
to rotate in opposite directions at the same time: laundry is
constantly on the move, manipulated and flexed.
Because the Contrarotator
TM
releases dirt more effectively,
it can wash laundry cleaner, faster and in larger loads.

Location
Every Dyson washing machine is tested before it leaves the
factory. As a result, there may be some dampness or water in
the machine.
• The machine should not be installed in a location where the
temperature may drop below freezing.

• The machine must be installed on a secure and flat surface.
Soft floors, such as carpet or carpet tiles, are not suitable.
The layout of the drainage taps and power socket and their
distance from the machine are illustrated below. The water
inlet hoses, drainage hose and electrical mains lead must be
positioned carefully to avoid damage or kinks when the
machine is in use. The machine can be connected to a
standpipe, under-sink pipe connection or other drainage
system, but the critical dimensions must be adhered to.
