Heat Pump washer I actually now work for V-ZUG and have done for 18 months. Hence I've kept a low profile and not posted much :) New machine is fantastic. The heat pump focus seems to be on cost savings, but due to the unique action, longer soak time and accurate temperature holding, the wash...

Does your washer show you it loves you? Yes. Every time I look at it!

Miele Welcome back to Miele. The Asko/ISE seem like a good machine, but I bit my tongue when some people were suggesting they were better than the Miele! Shame you had problems with your choice, but I think you'll be very happy now with the changeover. David

AEG Now made in Italy, at least the models we get here in Australia are.

Miele steam Saw the new Miele steam washing machines last night (Hi Rod!) and was very impressed, going to be a successful product for them. The Auto Dos machine is a lot more advanced than anything else on the market, the external dosing unit actually has it's own pump to draw in water from...

Miele van I spend all day dealing with people about appliances and from my observations Miele have the lowest failure/service rate of any brand. If your friend is operating in a above average income/wealth area then it stands to reason that there would be a lot of Miele appliances in the area...

Water connection Chestermikeuk, I have an instantaneous gas hws. But the washer is only connected to cold. I had the Miele connected to both, but had a sealed electric system in both houses it lived in. David

Plumbing Chestermike, I have no idea about my plumbing - the water comes out that's the extent of my knowledge!! I'm on a concrete floor third story. I originally had the Miele on a timber floor and it never caused any problems, was well impressed!

Miele vs Zug Gee Rod, if their is ever a product manager position at Miele you would be perfectly qualified! lol. David :)

It does adjust the cycle based on load size.

V-Zug story http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/acaa7592-99a3-11df-a852-00144feab49a.html#axzz1aGJdTXwf

V-Zug I'm running a denim wash as we speak, at least I think I am cos I can't hear the thing running! I'm sure they will come out clean, same as they did in the Miele. I saw a really interesting interview with the UK distributor and the Export Manager of V-Zug, it explains what they are on...

V-Zug difference Perhaps one of the reasons the V-Zug had an unusual result in the Choice test would be that their products are built to different criteria than anything else. Until 3 or 4 years ago V-Zug only built products for the Swiss market and didn't really pay much attention to what the...

Choice do some strange things sometimes. They claim they test on the "standard" wash, but obviously they don't.

Choice test They rated the Adora pretty low on rinsing ability, and that's simply just plain crap. It is the best rinsing washing machine I have ever seen, by quite some margin. 14,000 holes in the drum drilled by a ruby, gotta be a good thing.
