Hi I just watched a vid on You Tube about a new Miele washer (W 4446) which can spin at 2000 rpm. Right now I'm not using my computer and I can not post the link from You Tube. Does anybody have some information on this washer? I can find no information on Internet and Miele website Thanks Marco

re using water During the 60s there were in Europe some washers with a separate tub which allowed useres to save the suds and using them again for the next wash (Indesit K5 for example). My english is too poor to try to describe how the system worked, but some users described it very well in...

@ Splittub I don't think there's a difference in terms of performance. Personally I just prefer to watch a spin counterclockwise. Maybe because I was very scared by the washer we had when I was a child, which spun clockwise and used to jump at any unbalanced spin;)

Hi! I noticed that Bosch/Siemens FL washers with small door from the 80's and 90's exsist both with door opening to the right and spin counterclockwise or door opening to the left and spin clockwise. I think that the clockwise ones are older. Do you have more information about that? Thanks Marco

Hi Unfurtunately I don't. When I want to see some pics of these machines because I miss them, I have to go to You Tube:(

First one to reply;) My mum once said that when I was very young (it was 40 years ago...) I got scared by a "jumping spin" of our Candy S5 (or similar model), but after that I started enjoying watch the washer at work and I still do now... but I still remember how terrified I was by the old...

Dex Hi Hope you can read this before the Webmaster removes it for being not pertinent with the Forum!;) Namaste is a Indian salutation or greeting like good day, or good evening. Usually at the end of a Yoga class people say it to each other. Yoga is my biggest interest, almost as washers, and...

90s passed while agoooo... Hi Dex I do agree that new techologies applied to washers can emprove them and make them save water and power, but can you really get good results? New machines usually make only 2 rinses with low water level on cotton cycles (the only cycle which can be loaded to...

Samsung 12kg Hi! The Samsung 12kg seems a standard size machine. So it should be the bigger capacity standard size washer available (LG 11kg on the 2nd place)! What is the drum size? In my opinion declared washing capacity is often bigger than reality. As seen in others threads, Miele washers...

@ Foraloysius Hi Louis! Thank you for being the first one to reply! i've been collecting information on this washer for 2 years on You tube and Discuss o Mat :))! I could swear I remembered the K5 for having controls on front and product dispenser on the top (that was 35 years ago, so I guess I...

33 cm depth machines Hi! In italy there is a large choice of 33 cm "slim" machines (they are called like this in Italy). May be because quite a lot of people put the washing machine outside the balcony and a standard size machine 60 x 60 would be too big. I remember Candy was the first brand...

Hi! Sorry to bother everybody with a thread about a washer which maybe will interest only people from Italy and has already been discussed some years ago, but pleeeeeeeeeeease!!! This is absolutely my favourite vintage washer, so: Collectors, please give me information: I Just watched on You...

Miele! i agree that best choice is Miele and the only nagative part is that il would be boring to use the same machine for the next 20 years:)! "Basic" Mieles have a 54 liters drum for 6 kgs capacity; the same capacity is claimed by others brands for machines with 42 l. drums! No commment! Even...

early '70s The jumping Candy SA5 we had at home (or similar model, I'm not sure) and my grandma's shaky Indesit K5 ;))))))

My machine (Siemens Siwamat XLS 1260) is rates 6 KG (drum capacity 53 L.) and a full load appears like in Dj Gabriele's picture. (Sorry I can't post any picture, I still don't have a digital camera). Recently machines with the same drum size are quoted for 7 or even 8 KG.... Even MIELEs...

Hi! Very interesting thread! I have a Siemens Siwamat XSL 1260, bought in 2001. I normally use 40° or 60° cottons (+ intensive if necessary) for cottons/linen/towels or Synthetic 40° for other washes. There is not big difference in tumble actions between cotton or syntethic programs, and I'm...

Siemens 9 y.o. My Siemens Siwamat XLS 1260 (bought in 2001)ramps up gently after distibution and I don't get sudslocks unless the load is very heavy. In that case, she just stops the spin and adds a rinse with a slightly higher water level. If she sudslocks again at the next intermediate spin...

Mieleforme Thank you! I discovered your channel 1 week ago! Very interesting videos! i'm looking forward to seeing some more ;) Bye Marco

Favorit Thank you again for the explaination Yes, I guess that marketing rules are differents from a country to another. Like "snelle" 33 or 40 cm. depht front loaders available in Italy but not in France... May be slim washer could be an interesting subjet for a new thread ;D

Hi, Nmassman44. Thank you for your reply. I could watch some videos on Youtube, posted by some lucky men owning a W4800 ;) ! i know that so far this machine is not available in Europe and actually my question is: does anybody know if someday will it be? Take care! Marco
