LOL. I did the same thing with my Speed Queen. I read every bit of info I could find in the long week's wait--including bugging the store every few minutes waiting on it's delivery. I painted the laundry closet, scrubbed the floor, and even dug out 2 grocery bags full of lint using the Lint Eater (which works well by the way).
Of course, that's 1/2 the fun--it's also when you know you're going to get something you really enjoy. I could never say that I've been as excited to get other appliances.
Are newer Miele's made in Mexico now?
