Second Generation Bosch Nexxt Line Released

[foraloysius]

Now about AEG. Although I prefer Miele washers I have a weak spot for the AEG label. I still like AEG machines, although they are now sold as AEG by Electrolux I still think they make decent machines. The TOL range is still quite a good washer I think.

This is my second AEG Öko Lavamat, it's a 6450 with 1200rpm. The previous one was a 625 with 1000rpm. I'm not sure which model your grandmother had, did her washer already have the round pushbuttons? If so, it could have been a 600, 610 or 615. If her's still had the square pushbuttons I would dive into my archives to see if I can find an older brochure.

I'm linking another picture album, there are more pictures in this one, but they are only small sized. There are scans of old brochures there, some of them even in German. Enjoy the pictures and don't hesitate to ask questions.

Ökolavamat

It had square push buttons. I must have been a 530 or so.

Electric Cost

Spee man,

Here is a break down of my last electric bill. This will give you an idea of how much electricity costs in Philadelphia.

From September 12 to October 11, 685 kWh

05.18 Customer Charge
41.65 Generation and Transmission Charges(.0608 X 685 kWh)
05.08 Wind Energy Service Charge(.0254 X 200 kWh)
30.41 Distribution Charges
17.33 Transition Charges
------
99.65 Total Basic Charges for 685 kWh
-0.39 State Tax Adjustment
------
99.26 Total

That comes out to about $0.145 per kWh (99.26/685)

The Wind Energy Surcharge is an optional charge I pay so that 200kWh of energy each month comes from wind generation. It offsets the difference in cost between wind and traditional energy generation.
