I saw those machines in action at Clean 05 and they are pretty neat and VERY quiet. However, with the TOL residential Miele costing $6,000 for the set, one has to wonder whether they want to go for this set... or a Hybrid car.

im SOLD on the honeycomb-design drums. i have to think those washer drums have more holes than any other!
Brett - there is actually less holes in a honeycomb drum than a standard drum - however the channels between the honeycombs allow the water to flow down and out through the pinprick holes during the final spin. The reduced amount of holes & the curved honeycombs are supposed to avoid damage to fabric during spinning, as well as make even the most vigorous wash programme more gentler.

that is a LOVELY interior, the logic of the honeycomb pattern makes sense to me. the tiny holes are very curious, i wonder if it doesnt keep lint from draining, or if a very lint-rich load, like a buncha new towels or rugs could clog them? look real close and see if you can count the holes in THIS 17 lb model.
Baffles!!!
Good thinking about the baffles JonathanV!!!
80% of the water on start of spin is channeled to the slits in the baffles, where it exits very quickly, the rest makes its way through the pinholes etc assuming its not a cotton load and the towelling has stuffed the holes...
Its amazing how times change, only a few yrs ago it was having the most number of holes in your drum that gave the best spin, which was all "Spin & Marketing Hype" parden the pun...UK Servis machines in the 80`s had the "SpinCare" drum with no holes just vanes and that worked fine...

Those huge capacity machines also have the Honeycomb drums. There are just more honeycomb shapes in them!
