Are the Little Giant capacities any bigger than the W3033 and its companion dryer? I.e. are the drum dimensions larger or are they rated for heavier loads due to beefier components?
Boil wash capability would be nice, I admit...

Capacity
I am not sure that the drum size is any larger than the 3033 machine, but the PW6065 is rated a full kilo larger.

I seriously
doubt this would be a good buy for a laundromat and for a home -its ridiculous.
But there is a a lot of ridiculous money out there.

Qualin,
Yeah. I am considering it.

Wow, good luck if you do. Now that's is what I call dedication!!
Your laundry room is going to be the envy of the entire forum!
You'll have to take some video of this thing in action, as well as the lights when this thing kicks into spin.
Will these be in addition to your existing Imperials or replacing them?

Waivering
Well, my desire to own the Little Giant machines is waivering a bit. They woould be in addition to the Imperials for the time being.
Still not 100% giving up, but the bottom line is, 9K is a LOT-O-DOH.

Yes, it's two thousand dollar less than I'm paying a year now for f**king health insurance. If any corporate fascist had asked me, I would have preferred the Mieles.

Side Note
I did learn that my local reseller has a brand new set of 4842 in crates in his warehouse. Plus, he has his floor model set on stands for sale at 2900.

Thanks very interesting. It looks like no attempt is made to balance the load between the washes and rinses and it just starts into the spin while the water is coming out. I think It makes for a noisy mess of a spin but I guess vibration doesn't matter that much because of the type of suspension being used.
My washer spins the tub to the right, why does this one spin to the left...anyone know why?
I think I would prefer the little giant to this because of the noise. Of course I will never have enough clothes to make a load in this washer either.
Thanks again for finding the vids.

Can't get it
The PW 6080 looked like the answer to the question of what I would do when my W4840 died. Or maybe even before. It would fit in the same space, weighs around the same, and would be plumbing-compatible. The 240V outlet (I believe it's one, not two) wouldn't be hard to add. But Miele stopped talking to me when I said I wanted to install it at home, and one of the big Internet dealers just told me it isn't UL approved. I never even managed to get a price for it. They'd be happy to sell me a PW 6137, which is too big and heavy, and only comes with a dump valve.

Right
I got the same response when I inquired about it. Although I was given pricing beforehand. Seems the exposed suspension system makes it non-approvable for home use. Just as well, I guess. You'd probably never get one properly serviced in the states...

Domestic Use
My guess is these washers really aren't happy on anything less than solid and firm flooring such as concrete. So to avoid complaints from unhappy customers better to nip potential sale in the bud.
My Miele W1070 will make several attempts to balance a load, but if it cannot will simply launch the spin regardless, banging and clanging away. Happily one never leaves the unit unattended and thus am around to stop the machine and usually manually rebalance the load.
If you look at the difference between say my Miele and other washers from that brand and say my Oko-Lavmat the differences in suspension systems is striking.
Miele machines use commercial grade shocks which along with the cast iron cradle are designed to cope with forces generated by unbalanced loads. OTOH the Lavamat's suspension seems weaker IMHO but then again the computer programming on this machine will simply abort a spin if it senses a badly unbalanced load. That or it will do so at a very reduced speed to lessen movement of the drum.

Exposed suspension
That sounds possible... but what about Asko then?

Asko's
Back when I purchased Asko, you could only get the machine with the outer drop down door in the States. I guess it resolves them of the liability of being sued after the fact.

Domestic vs commercial use
The laundry in some homes is situated on a concrete floor, whether in the basement, on a slab, or even in the garage. For that matter, businesses can be located in former residences with shaky floors.
If Miele is concerned about safety, I wonder if you can satisfy them by isolating the machine from household children and pets. Is it enough to put the laundry equipment behind a steel door with a deadbolt lock? If not, how about building a locked outbuilding exclusively for laundry?

None of the current Askos seem to have the drop down door any longer.
