Sigh... When it comes to appliances and cars the U.S. is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">such</span> a third world country.

 

Looks nice. Will have to give it a more thorough look after work.

re; third world

Sie mens? I liked it!!
I'd get the Miele, but their less expensive washer does not have the twenty year bearing warranty like the $3,000.00 one.
 
Do...

Siemens make Panasonic, as they have just launched a washer that looks like this.

Looks good, but I don't know, just like the Panasonic; the fascias of these machines have an 80's feel to me.

(think it is just the not use to seeing the black and white together on a washer)

Deffo worth the price

My Bosch washer dryer has been fab, its only being replaced as I'm getting a more upmarket machine.

I actually like the design, far better than anything else that BSH have produced, but looks can be decieving. I want to try one!

The dryer is really interesting though.
First, even though it has a self cleaning condenser, it is acessible by the user without any tools!
Second, there are 2 care cycles that flush the condenser. One is a "short" cycle only using water, the second is designed to work with a special cleaner and takes 4 hours.
Third, this heatpump is a beast. It uses a different coolant (R290a), and reaches A+++ class with cycle times below 2 1/2 hours.
Nice twist on BSH dryers.
 
Nice looking set

Nice looking set of machines, but i don't think it worth that price tag, also these new machines with the new style of drums, I doubt the drum is even made from stainless steel, Miele all the way.

2.5 hr dryer times and 5 hour wash times???!!! You're not serious, surely? How on earth does anyone in Europe get all their washing done?
 
Dry times: It's a heatpump dryer. And 2 ½ hours is for a full 8kg load, spun at only 1000rpm. So, that time is actually not bad.

Wash times: 5+ hours is for the Eco cycle used to calculate the energy labels. It is basicly a 4 hour soak, with peak temperatures at approx. 40C or such. It incorporates pretty intensive wash periodes as well to compensate for the lack of heat. It is followed by 2 rinses, with long high interim spins, really low water levels and long rinse times. The final spin is designed to remove as much moisture as possible, despite any creasing or wear and tear.
The normal 60C cycle takes a little less then 3 hours or about 1 hour on the short cycle, latter with only 5kg load maximum.
The Eco-cycle should be 30% or 50% more efficent the reqiured for the EU energy class A+++.

There are few longer cycle times out there, but there are positive examples like some Sharp models (A+++ minus 70% in 4 hours) or Miele (A+++ minus 50% in 3 hours), both in the 8/9 kg class.
 
Thanks Henene4

Eco cycle makes sense! They should, however make that clear in the features on the John Lewis site. Reading that would put me right off straight away otherwise! My Miele 5964 takes 2.59 on a 8kg cottons wash, or 1.59 on short, which I find acceptable...I have a Siemans dryer, which replaced my Miele and I have to say, its good!
