I was also wondering
Did the delivery truck sport the Royal Warrant for all the neighbors to see?

Current Bosch
So the Bosch is a combo?
and if the AEG set goes downstairs, will you get the matching dryer for the Miele?

I don't know!! :-(. I was actually asleep when it arrived... the Miele arrived half an hour before the earliest delivery time arranged! (Delivery was 9am-1pm, but it came at 8:30am). I must say... I hope they made the Miele logo visible when the machine was being delivered LOL.

No, we have a Bosch washer and dryer downstairs - I've attached a pic below. And yes, if I can afford it I will buy the matching Miele dryer if that happened, but for now if I'm goign to keep both the AEGs and Miele's in my room I'll just stick with the AEG dryer. I'm often putting 2 washer loads in 1 dryer load anyway (especially seeming as half the stuff I wash can't go in the dryer), so apart from if I'm doing a full day of linens (of which I'd use the washing line if I could anyway) then I don't think I'd get a Miele dryer... yet...

OK, so if eventually the AEG's go downstairs, and the Bosch's go your Nana, what'll you do with the space upstairs (I assume they're in the kitchen) currently occupied by the Bosch's?

What??? Rephrase that... Besides it doesn't really matter at this point in time.

"However as I mentioned earlier the AEG's might be moving downstairs so mum has all matching AEG appliances; and I'm thinking of donating our Bosch washer/dryer to my nana "
Ultimately,
AEG's go downstairs
Miele's stay in your room
Bosch's go from kitchen to your Nana's house
What would you put in space where Bosch's were?
Make sense now?
Oh, I got it, "downstairs" IS the kitchen, your room being upstairs. I'm thinking basement for the AEG's. I'm getting my levels mixed up, forgetting yours is a 2 story house.

You should read the installation notes regarding vibration c
According the the installation notes that came with our miele washer, if it's installed on a wooden floor you're supposed to put a pretty heafty solid wooden plinth under the machine. Bolt that to the joists etc to minimise vibration and noise during the spin cycle.
Best place for any washer is on a concrete floor, that includes high end mieles!

"You have 2 washers and a dryer in your bedroom!?"
He has 2 washers and 1 dryer in bedroom.

Quote: And here's a shot of the Honeycomb drum... probably one of Miele's best and unique features.
What is the advantage?
Does your new machine have a drum light?

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

Jon,
Nothing wrong with the location, I was just wondering how come they ended up in the bedroom
We'd an old Thor 850XD washer-dryer from the late 1970s that used to dance around the place while spinning at 850RPM creating an huge racket in the process.
I think it may have been the same machine that was made by Coleston in the UK ? I know any spares we ever had to get for it during the 1980s were branded Ariston. It had two vent "holes" at the back and a fluff filter that sat over them and vented directly into the room when drying. Also, drain filter was like a round comb full of spikes. Very unlike the strainers that are found in most front loaders.
Also had two chrome bars at the front near the bottom, you pulled them up and wheels came down making it possible to pull the machine out... quite a clever idea, have never seen it on any other machine since.
Our miele (the pre-honeycomb days) doesn't have a light in the washer, however, there is of course a light in the dryer.
Btw, our fairly basic novotronic vented dryer is a fantastic machine. It just works exceptionally well, has the same build quality as the washing machine and is extremely quiet in operation.
And obviously fully sensor controlled.
