Austin,
That Whirlpool Dreamspace was built for the European market, perhaps even only for the UK. Specifications were different than the models for the North American market. The capacity was a bit smaller IIRC and the spin speed a bit higher. Just like the early American Duet models, these machines were made in the Bauknecht factory in Germany. There was a matching dryer available for a while, but that had to be imported from the USA and therefor an expensive product.
