Miele ditches stainless steel tubs on even more models

[henene4]

Oh yeah

I totally forgot those...
There was a Brazilian version similar, even as a washer dryer, wasn't there?

I wouldn't be surprised if these drums have some type of metal substructure and are then injection molded over that.
Basically a frame giving it rigidity.

These weren't terribly high spin either...

I'm pretty sure that Titan thing had a spinning outer metal drum so all the load was taken by that. Think I saw one with a second orange drum in store once, at the same time they were selling Dyson's Contrarotator, although I didn't take a close look.

Our own Mike had (or perhaps still has) a Titan. Plastic drums with metal enforced. There are a few pictures in his photo album.

Plastic inner washer tubs

Lots of top load washers had all plastic wash baskets with no metal reinforcement. Generally however, they generally didn’t spin over 1000 RPMs.

I'm getting a bit confused about the Miele model numbering...

We have a WDB004 W1 series washer and it most definitely has a stainless steel tub as well as drum!

I found the Miele spec sheet as attached...

You can check the spare parts catalogue to see if a model you are interested in has a plastic tub.
