FINALLY!!! After 3 weeks of waiting, my modern dream machine has finally arrived!!! I'd say it a pretty nice upgrade from the DD Kenmore! I don't have any electrical hooked up to it yet, I'll do that tomorrow with dad's help. But MAN!!! This thing is a TANK! It weighs around the same, possibly more than the BD Kenmore next to it, and I just can't get over how much METAL there is! The shipping bolts were 2 and half feet long!!! I can't WAIT to get this thing up and running!!!!

It looks really classy... unlike some of the tinny Italian jobs. |

Know your going to have FUN! Keep those bolts, in case you ever need to move the washer. Yes, Miele units are quite heavy, mainly because they use cast iron for the frame and as counter balance instead of the cheap concrete blocks found in most other front loaders. To keep your machine happy, use low sudsing or HE detergents only. Best of luck, L. |

Thanks for all the wonderful comments! I'm very excited to get this machine up and running sometime tonight! I'll be sure to take lots of pics for everyone! This is the W1215, it's max spin speed is 1,600 RPM. Unfortunately, I don't have electrical run to it yet, so I haven't been doing any laundry in it, but I do have the manual about memorized and I wiped it down with a nice soft cloth about every 10 minutes or so last night while I was sitting in front of it staring!

Launderess, I've been saving up for this machine for over a year now! All of my allowance as well as my paychecks from work have gone into my savings account to save up for this machine! This is the second most expensive thing I have ever purchased, the most expensive was my car! I did however get a good deal on the machine, it's sticker price is $2,200 plus tax, I got it for $1,999 plus tax and I also got free delivery as well as a free haul away of one of my old machines!

That things got BLING! I am dying to know what you think of its rinsing! I read up on the honeycomb drum over a year ago and decided that the holes were too small between the honeycombs BUT Miele has VERY good engineers in thier back pocket! Tell us all when you get it up and running., Jealous---- YOU BET I AM! jet |
