V_ZUG for Australia

[arrrooohhh]

Look what I stumbled accross. Can it be true? These amazing looking laundry appliances coming to Australia?

I wonder what stores will stock this and how it will be promoted? I am sure they will cost a fortune but Miele seems to make quite a few sales and AEG seems to be a thing of the past so maybe.

More expensive than TOL Miele

Hi mate,

The washing machine is going to set you back $4,300 and the heat pump dryer $3,700. I have seen these in action and they look impressive. Would I buy them over the TOL Miele? The drum in the VZug is 60 litres and rated at 8kg, while the Miele is 54 litres for 6.5kg. Not much difference in the volume for the claimed capacity of the VZug. The control panel is not as user friendly as the Miele. I think its geared for the Swiss!

OUCH!

Such a shame if that is going to be the price for them....
