    Siemens sucks!

    I bet it's a BOL model like this one in the link. It has just the slower spin key and the rinse hold (spuelstopp-anticrease) key and no extra rinse key. Anyway it has a separate rinse-only cycle you can run after the wash cycle These "el cheapo" series made in Turkey are usually sold badged...

    Maybe not a Bob Load But!

    re : tablets and upright casseroles Peter, the prewash is not long enough to dissolve a tablet. To give you a clue if you run a DW on the quick/30 mins cycle with a tablet you'll find it not totally dissolved at the end of the programme. About that small casserole with the handle, I'm pretty...

    Maybe not a Bob Load But!

    my 2 cents ... why don't you try to load your DW properly instead of using a double amount of detergent ?? # The "all in one" will not have time enough to dissolve in the prewash, so the machine will run the main wash with too much detergent (etching hazard ...) # The upper rack is loaded in...

    Miele >>> The Teardown .

    Landeress "Methinks Miele falls short in this area because of their refusal to build products just for the American market" so you guess this is available also in Europe ... come here and look for it ;-) "...and or lack of experience with uber-sized gas or electric dryers for that matter...

    My PHILCO BENDIX

    Complimenti Gabriele !! Despite this machine is made in Italy, it has both hot and cold fill valves. Interesting that plenty of boilwash cycles (regular, long and no-iron). Does it have interim spins in the wool cycle like current frontloaders ? I've seen such thing in the Philco Combo ...

    A Brand New Never User Miele W1930

    Ask Launderess, her W 1070 is like that ... however she survived to the lack of a glass window, as most people survive to a dishwasher without a window [webmasters are not included LOL ;)]

    Miele Excella II

    Congrats Malcom "The underside of the machine is completely sealed. The is nothing exposed for pix. Even the hose connections and electrical are preinstalled" So are you meaning that your "old" Bosch is not like that ?? Also ... what about the sump in that Bosch ? stainless or plastic ...

    Electrolux group out of balance machine

    There's a IrishMark's post in the Imperial forum ... ... with a shot that tells more than any word : In the last 10 years Electrolux had to face increasing costs : Germany and Italy are the countries with the highest labour costs, so they outsourced a lot of parts from far East and Eastern...

    Wednesday is Laundry Day

    Toggles, so almost everybody owns a washer, like here. Then how it comes that laundromats are still common there ? Washer dresses : I remember years ago every granny/auntie had her green / blue / flowered dress on the washer. This nightmare would be the modern version :

    The first Italian concentrate detergent

    Gabriele I saw yesterday that also LD discounts have their own brand (Dian) concentrated liquid. BTW I use Chante Clair "Lana e Cashmere" to wash handwashables in the handwash programme. recently I also bought the "Cotone e Lino" mild detergent (similar bottle as the "Lana and Cashmere" one) ...

    Is Miele Fading Away?

    Congrats Malcolm Basically it's a La Perla without touch controls. Just wondering where Miele USA marketing dept has learned to load pots ....... maybe they were former Whirlpool employees, so they guessed also Miele has the power clean module ?? ;-)

    Boil wash on stove?

    "Fare il bucato " = faire le linge / to do laundry/ Thanks to Mielelabor it comes up an obscure meaning of an italian word (even to italians too). "Laundry room" translates into "lavanderia" but "laundry"/"linge"/"waesche" translates into "bucato". Literally "bucato" in italian is an adjective...

    Slanting fronts and rotating racks

    Alistair thanks 4 these nice vids These Zanussi rotorack DW were quite polular in Italy as "built-in" machines in Snaidero kitchen cabinets. Regular cabinets were shallower,so the DW cabinet protruded from the other ones. This version for Italian market is badged REX pic taken from ...

    Is Miele Fading Away?

    Paulo Well said, that's the key point Many Americans ignore we had energy crysis in mid seventies (the so called "austerity") That's why european appliances started the energy saving path since those times. 12 gallons DWs here disappeared in mid eighties, when the average machines used 6-7...

    A Brand New Never User Miele W1930

    Allen, that's not a private seller, rather a shop that has been having it on the salesfloor over a decade. This is a built-in model (no countertop and kitchen/laundryroom cabinet door fitting). Built-in Miele washers are far more expensive than freestanding ones, so they are harder to sell...

    Is Miele Fading Away?

    It is not a true flash drying water has a lower temp (140-150°F) and after the last rinse drain there is round 25-30 minutes of fan/heat exchanger action. After that, the load is no more scalding hot. Commercial Mieles (both tank and fresh water models) have the true flash drying (last rinse @...

    Is Miele Fading Away?

    BSH dry as well as mieles provided they are hooked to cold water line. Lately in Europe BSH has released some models with **two fill hoses** (like your washers) The hot water hose is used for washing and rinsing, the cold water one feeds the condenser while drying. Miele drying system is not...
