The "uber" Miele's to be introduced into the United States, are the models with the roundish doors (W100,T7000) IIRC.
Miele has finally broken down and the new model line will feature a washing machine that runs on 120V, not sure about dryer, but doubt it will be any thing else than 220v/240v. No gas dryer on this side of the pond yet, I think.
These units will be "large" by Miele's standards though not as large as say the Duet line. Again could be wrong about some things and or things may change prior to rollout.
Miele rep told me the new laundry line is due to arrive by early 2007, but Miele is famous for missing those dates, so don't be surprised if we are all on tenter hooks until Easter.
It really is a shame Miele only sends a few models across the pond from their washer/dryer line. OTHO, in a bid to go more "mainstream", one hopes these new Miele units have not gone the way of say BMW or Mercedes-Benz in terms of quality. Today if one wants a Mercedes-Benz built like they "used to" you pretty much have to spring for the AMG line. Same for BMW, cannot tell you how many pepole have said parts of both cars came off in their hands during a test drive.
