.... ok, greetings from Aosta Valley,Scotland *LOL*
...but you'll have to own even our fake prince/future king Emmanuel Filibert Savoy. As we turned to republic in 1946, his dad and him are ... jobless.
Now he's about to appear on TV @ the IT version of "Strictly come dancing" (and this isn't a joke).
@ Darren : congrats 4 your son !!!
About Bosch : your "new" one is of a far better quality than the 8 kg Logixx. I've read on the german forum these have some issues with bearings.
I suspect this is the why Miele doesn't sell the 4800 serie here in EU : they are afraid of loose some brand value with those machines that surely aren't tank-built as their standard and commercial ones.
Just about big mieles : thaks to our cat, last week I'd the chance to try a big Miele at a launderette. Here in IT launderettes are rare ... running into a "mieled" one is even rarer. I washed some huge pillows in the 13 kg PW6131. Aside there was a little giant (6,5 kg) PW6065 : it is really noiseless until it ramps up to 1400 rpm !! Even the machine with my pillows was quite silent while spinning @ 1100 rpm, despite the fact it was overloaded in the typical launderette customer way
