It was Mee-Lay
Up until recently whenever I heard the word Miele it was pronounced Mee-Lay.
It seems to have been in the last couple of years that the way I'm hearing it pronounced has changed, and now all you hear is Mea-luh.

That could be the aussie way of speaking though.
I like the way to remember pronounciation.
Miele is Sheila.
As an FYI a Sheila is actually a female Kangaroo
In slang terms its also a term to describe a woman. If it was used, it tends to be in a positive sense. IE Tracey is a top sheila

Talking of Sheila's...

Tom, interesting that your unit uses a short intermittent impeller cycle. Danby does likewise, and if I recall correctly, Whirlpool and a couple of other compacts do also; all of these use American-style agitators on an intermittent cycle. This can be very mechanically simple: just a motor that can be reversed, and a pulley to the impeller or agitator.
The difference between "normal" and "gentle" is the number of revolutions before it pauses; on the Danby TT it's 1 left and 3/4 right for gentle, and 2 left and 1 right for normal. This doesn't seem like much of a difference but it really is; the "normal" cycle is really vigorous, with the same "pull the clothes under" action you saw on the Haier. This kind of action also saves electricity because the motor is only "on" for half the time (i.e. off during the pauses) and the system takes advantage of the motion of the water during the pauses.
Have you bothered to check the difference in rotation periods (how many revolutions each way) between the normal and gentle cycles on the Haier? And how does it do with blue jeans (which are a difficult load for compacts since the stiff fabric wants more space to move around in)?

Haier is higher
''Higher'' is the correct way to say Haier as I have just been commuicating with their Sydney office, funny I always thought Miele was pronounced ''Me-Lay''hhhmmmm that could be an interesting pick-up line as in ''me needs lay''sorry about that L.O.L. L.O.L. L.O.L.!!!!!

And if you said, "I just got Haier," your friends might ask for a few puffs.
And if you were gay and told your boyfriend "I like Kenmore," he might think you wanted to break up with him and go out with another guy.
That's about all for the PG-rated ones

Designgeek: this small machine with only the impeller at the bottom of the tub does not have any sort of slower speed for delicates. I guess you would just set it for a shorter wash period, or interrupt the wash for a soak period to wash delicates. There is only one spin speed also. I don't believe this would wash more than one pair of jeans and it would no doubt have problems balancing one pair to spin.
washing delicates
Tom,
You are correct about only one spin speed on some compacts,my T.T. only spins at one speed and the only difference in the wash actions on ''Standard and ''Intensive'' are a 4 second pause on standard and no pause on intensive wash.
In regards to my delicates i.e. woollen pullovers and the like,I do all my normal loads first and when they are done,and the washtub is ready to be drained out, I put the plug in the laundry sink and simply put the drain hose in the sink and pump some of the last wash water in the sink and just handwash really delicates, I wring them out by hand put them in the spinner saturate with clean water for a minute or so and then just spin for 30-60 seconds only and lay them flat.
This method works okay on T.T.'s but I am not sure if you can do it on an automatic washer.
Cheers.
Steve.
P.S.,
Designgeek,
Have you heard the one about the 2 cannibals named Kelvin and Mary?, well mary went missing for a long time and the police came to the conclusion that Kelvinator.
Oh God I need help ,Nurse pleae bring me a blanket and a cup of tea.

i've noticed alot of similarities of other brands in Haier appliances. CAUTION, they're Chinese. And virtually all Chinese industries have been accused of basically copying other companies' things.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if they just lifted parts and features from other American brands and put them in their own machines.

They are made by Frigidaire for Haier. The drum design of the dryer dates back to the GM days.
Here's a link to the dryer pics with a newer design control panel.

chinks and thiefs
My haier 22C is so much like a frigidaire unimatic that it scares me. Extrtemely powerful agitation; small tub that holds a ton; no pauses--rushes through the cycles; two rinses, exactly like my Mom's first UNIMATIC; great water efficiency; really quiet; and spins--forgive me--like a son of a bitch. It IS a unimatic, right down to the pulsator (not quite, but it works similarly and they call it a pulsator.
AND IT'S IN MY KITCHEN, JUST LIKE MY ANCESTORS, AND I USE IT ALMOST EVERY DAY

miele pronounciation
Ok, over here (in Munich) we pronounce it like the two words:
ME and LAY
with the "Lay" very soft, a bit like the the Canadian "F***kin' Eh" but absolutely NOT "LUH".
And, of course, allruntogether: MELAY
Sort of like Porsche.
It does come from the French and they are real honeys; when the wheels on the lower rack of my 17 year old dishwasher broke, Miele sent me replacements with an apology and request for the old ones - so they could prevent such early part failure in future models. Like to see Bosch do that, if you think they are arrogant in the States, you ought to see them here in Germany.
(Die Betonung ist nach Vorne gelagert: 'Mi*leh).

LOL, now that is real German!
Now try to explain how to pronounce Huebsch (hübsch).
I also like sentences with all the verbs in one row. Like:"Wie hast du ihn das machen lassen können?"

I put "Die Betonung ist nach Vorne gelagert" in the subject Drift, but it disappeared.
