Mr X,
There has always been plumbing in my bedroom intended for a vanity unit; so I thought why not put the pipes to use and have a washer and dryer in my room! Nothing wrong with that is there?
Both washers sit on a sheet of wood screwed down to the floor. And both machines are level so vibration is minimum, and although you do get vibrating int he floors it really doesn't bother me. They will shake every now and then, but it just doesn't bother me, and besides, a bit of vibrating in the spin cycle adds to the fun! It's not as if a Miele or AEG will shake itself to death anyway. And just so you know I did study manuals for both my AEG and Miele carefully about upper floor installations before purchasing them. And yes, I know full well the best place for washers is on a concrete floor (I sell appliances), but it's not the end of the world that it's going to be on a wooden floor for the next 1 or 2 years before I move out.
Toggleswitch,
The honeycomb tub is seen by Miele as it's best feature probably due to "ultimate" fabric care. However only difference I've noticed is no pimples on towels after a spin, but I don't see any real advantage myself. I've washed woollies in normal drum washers for years without any snagging. But it's a nice and cool feature to have anyway!
BTW, yes, it does has an interior light. It's a Miele, for god's sake ;-)
Take care,
Jon
