Reply #15 My Little Giant with a drain pump has the sluice programs enabled. The printed manual lists their capacity as "max 14.3 lbs (4.0 kg)", while cotton programs' capacity is listed as "max 14.3 lbs (6.5 kg)". So sluice capacity is same as cottons, or 61% of cottons, take your pick.

Octoplus I'll believe you can buy Octoplus for home use in US if you order them AND the order actually gets through Miele Professional in Princeton.

A glance at the installation instructions in the dryer manual shows that Miele will sell a connection adapter. It will convert a 4-prong dryer outlet into two regular 15 amp outlets.

220V is safer?? Thomas, all things being equal, a shock from 240V to ground carries twice the amperage of a shock from 120V to ground. So 120V has the safety advantage. I don't see why 240V is more reliable than 120V.   The North American system is elegant, I think. 240V, as the potential...

Bob, I bought a copy of NSF P172, in secured PDF form, so I could see what it really says. It doesn't require the washer to reach any particular temperature. It was last revised in 2006, so this isn't a new thing.

Per a discussion in the Gardenweb laundry forum a while ago, a sanitize cycle on current washers is not a guarantee of high temperature.

The washer appears to say W3033, on the dispenser drawer That is a 120V washer. Where does it say it's 240V?

My guess is that laundromat FL's use more water so the load gets saturated within the short wash cycle time.

Clothing wear with Extended option? FWIW, we use the Extended option on almost every wash in our W4840, and never noticed any wear. Maybe I wouldn't notice it, but my wife would. And it gets our stuff really clean. Yes, it does take a long time. No pets.

Paulo, I'm glad you brought up the subsidies (tax credits) that the government has given to manufacturers for exceeding requirements. A few years ago I urged Consumer Reports to tell readers how the system works. Without going into the whole thing, I'll say that the Home Editor not only didn't...

Here's how I figure it: It's the dustiest place in the house because the dryer sucks dust-laden air through it. But the dust that's sitting there wasn't sucked into the dryer, rather it's sitting there. It'll stay there forever, i.e. it's in equilibrium, because the dryer-induced airflow doesn't...

The very fact that it's the dustiest place in the house argues that the dust isn't being sucked into the dryer, I think :-)

Parts & labor warranty is quite short, and I don't see an exception for home use. http://www.coinop.com/admin/prod_lit/Documents/SalesLit/W10726004.pdf

I read those as target temperatures for water intake, not target temperatures for the heater.

I read it as 3.6 cu ft by DOE measure, as opposed to IEC measure.

Spin speeds on hard mount washers are very low.   A washer with 35-40 lb. capacity may not have the option of a drain pump; it'll dump the water on the floor, expecting to find a drain trough there.   Look at the available programs and configurability on these washers. I've looked at them in...

Little Giant washer not truly commercial? What is it missing?

Maybe it was configured for cold-only fill. That is possible on some Mieles.

You mean PW 6080. They won't sell it for use in a residence, but your building's health club isn't a residence, and it's presumably behind a locked door. So I think they'll allow it.
