Dirt driven back into cloths I only metioned that miele had that opinion in the early days.

Gas heater But I can remember somebody writing that it isn't allways possible to get a 220V source.

Rinsing in new machines Talking about water consumtion: It's not as good as it sounds. 47 Liters aren't enugh. Our Consumer report rated a Miele 1.8, that's nearly a B! If I pay 1800 Bugs, I'd like to have the best rinsing performance. The spin cycles between the wash and rinse cycles are just...

Hi guys, I often heard, that some of you want to buy a euro washer. But a cycle takes to long because of the small 115 V internal Heater. So I ask myself, why european manufacturers don't offer a Gas Heated washer! What do you think, would that make your decission easier?

There must have been an urgent need for fridges in post war time. But I also saw that they already sold their products in the early twenties.

wascator Interesting mashine! Miele had such a mashines too! It's hard to find a mashine that rinses good enugh. My mashine doesn't rinse very good. I'm thinking about to buy a used washer/ Dryer pair. Not that I couldnt afford a new miele washer, I don't want to pay 1000 Euro for an appliance!

Guess what I found while stolling around th www? It was an Opel Frigiadaire on German e- bay! Did Fr. belong to GM? http://cgi.ebay.de/Nostalgie-Kuehlschrank-FRIGIDAIRE-von-1949_W0QQitemZ6592447170QQcategoryZ19361QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I know, but over there in America, fl means an H- axis washer.

No correction needed! I only summed up the first automatic FL washer in Europe!

TL washer Thank's for informations! I think I shoult try to get a English washer with internal heater, they run on 230 V too. It's Interesting I can't see any reason for the success of FL washer in Europe. The first ones were constructa and V Zug in Europe. But I cant remember a single...

Internal heater! Hi Folks! I can't understand, why European washing machine manufacturers don't build in internal heaters powerd with gas? You could easily use the gas supply for the Dryer an run both on gas! miele would sell much more machines in the us! In our loundry room we have a three...

wascator & Candy Hi frederiksan! Is that wascator a hard mounted washer? or maybe semi- automatic? I own a Candy washer, a new one(cne-88t)! The washing quality doesn't satisfy me very much! I think those italian mashines are youst crap! I came here to find out, weather american mashines are...

Miele is better! Indeed, miele is better! I once saw that our machines can run on 50 or 60hz Cycle, because theyre sold all over Europe! We have different cycle frequences here. Have you ever thought about using a generator to produce 220 Volt?

TL or FL? Merry Christmas (or happy Hollidays?) I think, there is no difference between an H- Axis FL or TL! it just because TL dont need as much space as an FL. American washers, in my opinion, cant clean clothes as gentle as Euro machines. And the water consumption is higher. But at least...

What brand twintub did you have? I never had one, my Aunt had a AEG Tournette Twinnie.
