"I will never understand... ... the way some people prefer unscented" Some people (me, for instance) simply find synthetic fragrances disgusting, whether in laundry, personal, or household products

Yes, I am... sure that I am NOT using the 100% of the capacity of my washer. And honestly speaking I couldn't care less: quite often 100% capacity means poor washing, poor rinsing, and too much tangling

Data plate I notice that the data plate of the machine is in German, but it shows the word "motore", which seems Italian for "motor", or am I missing something?

It is quite a suprise... ...but this time I agree with Yogitunes (just kidding, no offence meant :-) ) Thank you, Tom

I am a bit surprised... I would have not expected that these old Fiat cars were so well known in USA, where they have never been sold, as far as I know (by the way: my mother had a Topolino, the "C" version to be precise: how on earth do you know that old car, sudmaster?). Is it because your...

Liquid non-chlorine bleach As far as I can remember liquid non-chlorine bleach works very, very, very well: it releases more oxygen than sodium percarbonate even at low temperature just for the agitation (hydrogen peroxide is not very stable) and it does not lower the PH that much, hence it is...

I am missing a lot... Honestly, I cannot understand what seems to me like an Anglo-Saxon obsession with bacteria. Considering that bacteria are everywhere, even if "as many as one million bacteria found in just two tablespoons of wash water" seems like a scaring lot, I am not sure it is a...

"Stain" cycle (or "stain" option?) As far as I know, the idea behind the "stain" option in AEG machines is that the stain additives do not allow the enzymes to do their job properly, hence the additive is added later in the wash phase when the water temperature is about 40°C (about 104F) and...

I am missing... ...the usefulness or advantage of this "double-knock opening". And what if all the cabinets in the kitchen have handles? Am I expected to double-knock to open any drawer or door in the kitchen?

Honestly and cynically A few dollars per year for a reliable, well-maintained, always perfectly working, and ads-free website are a more than fair effort, in my opinion. And I intentionally do not mention the fun and pleasure. But I also like the fact that the website is also open to...

Swirling extra spray arm Although surely the advertising is at least confusing and misleading (and it is Electrolux speciality to provide confusing and misleading information) the real goal of the swirling spray arm is not exactly cleaning better or faster, but rather beign less "sensitive"...

I know you will hate me for what I say... ...but you kitten is nicer than your washer :-) No offence meant, and of course compliments for the achievement!

Energy rating? As far as I know washing machines (and dishwashers) are rated using a cycle specified by the manufacturer. Usually this cycle is well hidden and no one ever uses it :-/ Am I wrong?

My compliments! Very nice machine! Wish you lots of fun (and clean landry...)[this post was last edited: 7/3/2013-03:33]

Germany and Belgium I find curious that these new washing machines seem to be introduced in Belgium before Germany (I cannot find anything on the German Miele site) however also Electrolux introduce new products in Belgium first. I wonder what the reason might ever be. And yes: a...

Two pumps? I have taken a look at the user's manual: from the pictures at page 72 (French version, section "Problems and solutions") it seems that there are two drain pumps (and two filters too). Seems strange... Also because the text always says "pump" and not "pumps": maybe the famous Miele...

17 Place settings I don't speak Swedish, and I am too lazy to google-translate, however: http://www.asko.se/kok/diskmaskiner/d5894sofxxlfi "17 kuvert" sounds very much like "17 place settings" (in Italian it is quite similar: "place setting" = "coperto")...

Fulgor? Am I wrong, or those Fulgor dishwasers smell of Asko from a mile away?

Latin "ProTex" I don't believe it is Latin: the AEG "Neue Kollection" uses the term "Pro" for "Professional". Dishwashers are advertised as "ProClean" ("clean" is not Latin) and the intensive cycle is called "70° Pro". Fridges are advertised as "ProFresh" and "Professional Freshness" is...

Please, keep us informed, Launderess I am very curious to know about your "contacts" with Miele USA!
