At 2800 rpms at 240v/50hz.
Keep in mind at 60hz North American frequency the thing will spin ten percent faster. If the Miele will mind this and or for how long it will put up with it is something one cannot answer. Unless one must have a Miele, there are other units sold in North America (Spin-X, Laundry Alternative) with same capacity that run on 120v/60hz power, and won't require shipping from Germany. |

All Miele 3 and 4 kg spindryers from that era (late 70's - early 80's?) had a spinspeed of 2800rpm. Only the 6 kg models had a lower spinspeed (1430, later 1475 rpm) at 230V/50cycles.
There are more ads on Ebay Kleinanzeigen. www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de... Miele spindryers: www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de... |

Pop up now and then, sadly not in North America!
www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/T... Other goodies on eBay.de from Miele http://www.ebay.de/itm/Miele-Waschmaschi... http://www.ebay.de/itm/Miele-W507-Munzwa... http://www.ebay.de/itm/Wascheschleuder-M... Shipping from Germany to North America. There is a reason why so many ebay.de auctions read "Nur Abholung" (pick-up only). Internal shipping for large items is expensive enough in Germany, overseas/out of EU is *very* much so unless you can fit the thing into standard flat rate postal boxes. |

I found the twintub.
www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de... Launderess, Most private sales in Germany are found on the Kleinanzeigen site from eBay, that's a different site than eBay. Here's the link again: www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de... eBay in Germany seems more for commercial ads. Also if you're interested in looking at what the Swiss are selling have a look at this site. www.ricardo.ch... |

Just wanted to be clear it can be done, but likely will be expensive. However persons have all sorts of things sent from that country to North America including Mercedes-Benz cars so where there is a will there is also a way.
Large things are an issue because most all mail and other shipping goes via air, which means weight and size often become an issue. You *can* have things shipped via "freight" or "cargo" on ships, but that means making other arrangements one would assume than just going to local post office. Most of the large appliances from Europe found in North America both vintage and even modern came two ways; persons moving house years ago when getting here from Europe was by default always by ship, and or a military/company/government move where someone else was footing the bill. In days when ocean liners provided scheduled service across the Atlantic passengers had very generous luggage/cargo allowances. That and or shipping companies, postal services, etc... could send things with some sort of regularity. Today ones best bet for getting large appliances or such out of Germany/Europe cheaply is to find someone connected to the military or diplomatic corps being posted back to the USA, then see if they have room in their "container" for whatever. US military and State Department like those in Europe have extensive publications/information telling persons what is best to and not to bring not just across the pond but other parts of the world as well. Advice for appliances is usually not to bother as the difference in frequencies (North American 60hz versus much of Europe's 50hz) can mean the things won't function correctly. |
