Interesting. As I said, I thought/presumed that they had all stopped doing that (maybe they have now?) - since, as I said, a combination of much reduced water volumes and the fact that many/most dwellings have a significant amount of pipework between source of hot water and machine means that little/no particularly hot water will get to the machine, even if it is connected to a 'hot' supply.
Kind Regards, John
from memory during the heating part off the cycle the consumption was around somthing like 1250-1750w for perhaps 7-9 mins this included brief off on with both motor and heater before reaching 60deg so at 15p a kwh would be perhaps 3 or 4p heating per wash so little or no chance off savings over the machines life time with mixed fill
Indeed - and, as I've said, the length of pipework between my HW cylinder and WM is such that, even with 'mixed fill', and assuming a fairly modern 'low volume wash' machine), if nothing else had used hot water recently (hence filling pipes with hot water) I doubt that much, if any, hot water would reach my machine even if it did have 'mixed fill'.

A hot fill machine might not draw enough hot water ( flow rate ) to be compatible with a combination boiler's hot water system.
