Saw the new design of the HT models. Impressive. But what's the difference? Or is it just the same machine with new looks... CLICK HERE TO GO TO askomiele's LINK | ||

This is interesting "This Duet HT® washer offers 14 cycles and 6th Sense™ technology" Do you see dead people in the window while washing your clothes? | ||

Seriously, these machines have some pretty nice features, lke spin only and rinse/spin. These options are pretty rare on FL machines. I was pretty impressed. | ||

This may seem odd, but I like the look of the Epic's hinges better. | ||

Duet and similar machines have always had 4 struts underneath and two springs above. The struts have changed and new software is supposed to help with balancing issues, but 6 point suspension is not new. | ||

Kenmorepeter5ab, it is built in Groningen, I believe, a city and province in NE Netherlands by a firm named Bauchnekt or something like that. Louis and others will know the correct spelling, but Louis does not think that the factory turns out top notch washers. The matching dryers are Whirlpools made in the USA. | ||

What a waste of space.... ....and money on the fascia board! Cycle signal I could cope with, at a push. But Button Sound??????? These manufacturers need their head examined! Like the sound of the "Diamond Dust" colour though....! Peter | ||

Bauknecht
Is the proper spelling, but a pile of horse...feathers by any other name is still...well, don't want the PC folks breathing down my neck again. If these machines are really made in that factory, then I would not touch one for all the tea in China. Whirlcool, maybe some US FLs are "dumbed down" but I can't think of a single, solitary FL sold here in Europe which does not offer separate rinse & spin, respectively spin only cycles. I liked the styling on the old Duets, I like this styling, too. But I'd rather have a "boring" Miele which will be working reliably and never seen a service-person years after these and their replacements and those machines' replacements have bit the dust. Whirlpool could build good stuff - there are some vintage machines discussed in this forum which are still running after decades of hard use. But the current company's philosophy just rubs me the wrong way. I work for my money. Why should I give give it to them for junk when for just a few bucks more I can have machines that actually are built to last? | ||
