2.4gal per min showerheads have been the norm here for the last 20 years. Has CA dropped below that amount? Even rain showers operate well on that flow rate. Being pressed against the wall is nice, but 2.5gal/min is a good compromise and saves water and electricity. Maybe the OP just needs...

The 3xxx series is about 4 towels less capacity than my W1. My weekly darks load which is a cram it full load in the 3xxx usually goes in the Duet, however it fits in the W1 without being packed full, it fits to just a comfortable full instead. The W1 holds significantly more wash than the...

I've got all three types in Miele, Vented, Condenser and Heatpump. I've gradually been selling off my Condenser dryers and keeping the vented and heatpump units. I've always found the condensers get way to hot, in summer when the ambient temp is above 30C, it can take 3 plus hours to dry, if...

If the Miele is just starting to Bang when heavily loaded, it could be as simple as the Friction Dampers on the bottom. The white toe panel pulls off, remove two screws down there. Remove the two screws around the Door Lock, the screw under the loading hole and the Boot ring and that gets you...

It looks like the agitator is very small for the size of the tub, would increasing the agitator size increase capacity? What happens seal wise if someone fills the machine deeper to try and increase capacity? The grate on the left handside looks like a lint filter of sorts, what part does that...

Patrick, they've been plastic for 30 odd years. The bottom part is plastic, its just stainless sleeve on top. The middle arm is plastic totally and its only the top cuttlery sprayer thats been all metal. Rodney, that looks great. I've got a full set of spare racks to go into my 6905 as...

Our Au W1s are hot and cold fill, so it’s not a US specific scenario. My older generation machine has no issues with prewash, one has been updated to its latest firmware and has no issues. I’m surprised your all using prewash that much, I generally only use it a 3-5 times a year. If you have...

Hi Louis, Thankyou. I've got a reasonably big spread of Kitchen smalls, I got the Cook Expert in August last year and use it once a week or so for Risotto mainly. I bought it with Frequent Flyer points for my birthday last year, just in case they got devalued, its not something that I'd pay...

I've recently turned up a BNIB A901E Kenwood Chef that dates back to between 1981 and 1985 and it arrive in today's post. Back in 1993 when I was 12, I bought a second hand one from the newspaper for 100 dollars, it had seen some hard use in a bakery before I got it and up until 15 years ago...

Wow, those are a weird hybrid, I've only ever seen that shape control panel with the old black panel and markings. These colours I've always associated with the newer style with the plastic cap on top. Were these available with the black control paneled machines, but as an option, or were...

Rather than spending more money on a disposable item, why not get something cheap and cheerful like this...

My Malleys Automatic 12 came with a suds save option. It was essentially a laundry tub with two drain holes. One was plumbed to the drain, the other was hard plumbed back into the washer tank. All water drained into the wash tub, being for wash and three rinses. At the end of the first cycle...

Hey Austin, There is nothing intelligent about it. The Drain period is a timer increment after the first pause and before the second. After the second pause, the machine will spin, regardless of whether there is water in there or not. Cheers Nathan

John, in the US are the ISE units, still serviceable? Our Evolution has started squealing after 7 years and costs $1300, insinkerator in AU are saying they no longer supply a rebuild kit and that the units are disposable once the seal/bearing starts to fail. Prior to this unit, we had our...

Hi Zach. How old is the machine? In AU Miele will generally repair a bearing failure up to the 10 year mark, even if you aren’t the first owner. My 3000 series was repaired at the 8 year mark for free, even though I wasn’t the first owner. If it’s the drum bearings, just ring Miele to book a...

Tom, what about when they're stored on a shelf in a basement next to a Gas waterheater, or in a Laundry with a dryer. Under my sink we have a Chilled water unit, a garbage disposal and Power Sockets for those plus the dishwasher. There is plenty of electric potential under there. Same with...

Thankyou Jobn, that means its even less, so there would seem to be a non issue?

I think everyone is blowing this greatly out of proportion, we're not talking about a 40pound propane tank attached to your compressor in the car or the fridge. We're generally talking about one to two pounds of refrigerant in a modern fridge. I don't see everyone freaking out about the...

We've had a Miele induction since 2016. It has a few issues covered under warranty in the first 9 months and then since then, we've had no issues. It has 9 temps (You can enable half temps but that seems silly) plus Boost and Boost Plus. For temps above about 4 or 5 (I'd need to specifically...

@Logix, the 7500 series Maytag Neptunes were the same here, only 1300watts heating. Luckily they were hot and cold fill, but if you started with cold and tried to heat to 60C, you were waiting hours. They had a transformer in the bottom of the machine, but I dont know whether that dropped all...
