my clue it's way too expensive for a used washer
today 1.0 € = 1.5 $ so 16 grands are more than 10,000 euro.
On ebay.de a brand new PW 6101 (with electric heater) costs 9470 euro
Anyway the PW6101 comes in several versions . Note the differences : steam heated (D direkt/ D indirekt )versions cost a little more. The Gas version costs 13,000 euro (4,500 $ more than electric heated versions). It's a 25% difference. Now I understand why household gas heated washers have disappeared.
The "FT" version is for washing dog/horse mantels/blankets. Instead of the honeycomb drum it has the old traditional microhole one. "WI" version has a built in weight system
Maybe the machine on US Ebay has default detergent/sours pumps and default uploaded wetcleaning cycles. This could be a reason for such a high price
I want them!!!! SOOOOOO badly!!! Talk about a DREAM set! I've always thought the only way a Miele washer could be improved is by getting rid of the door boot!!! Those are GORGEOUS!!!!
