Would be really interesting if some American appliance maker, or an investor with deep pockets would sit those "V-Zug" people down and see if they would do a deal to bring some of their appliances to the US market.
However, as Miele has finally given up the ghost on 220v laundry and even dishwashing appliances in the United States, reworking the appliances to run on 120v would probably add huge R&D costs to the considerable shipping/import costs.
In short, just as Miele found out, sales numbers probably wouldn't justify costs.
OTHO if certian patents and design elements could be licensed and an American quasi "V-Zug" could be made in the US, along the lines of Bosch's "Nexxt" line, perhaps things could be different.
