Founder Wouter Konings worked at Dyson where he was involved in the development of the third Dyson vacuum cleaner and the Dyson washing machine. Dyson is technology-driven and approaches and employs an integral development method wherein one team of design engineers develops a product from start to finish.<\/span><\/p>\n

CR01 Project<\/h2>\n

(Counter rotation washing machine)<\/p>\n

James Dyson was determined to change the way we wash clothes. With traditional machines, folded jeans often come out still folded. To find a more thorough washing method we tested all possible techniques. The conclusion was that manipulating the fabric, similar to hand-washing, gives the best results. The counter-rotation drums mimic this action. Wouter Konings was part of\u00a0a small, selected team of engineers with the task of\u00a0making\u00a0this happen.<\/p>\n

The traditional wash machine has a small door opening and a big rubber gasket. Clothes are only lifted and dropped and some times they come out folded.<\/p>\n

Dyson’s aim was to create a washing machine that could handle big loads (big drum and large opening) and wash better and quicker than traditional machines.<\/p>\n

Production Withdraw<\/h2>\n

In the end, the bigger drum and high-cost price made that it was often used in a commercial setting. Due to this heavy use and increased complexity the maintenance costs increased and finally the machine was withdrawn because it was not optimized for this type of use. However, the machine was a successful feat of engineering, and well-loved by those that owned it.<\/p>\n
