Scroll down the site linked for some interesting snaps of current front loader washers and dryer offerings in Germany. Especially like the set from Miele, and the dryer with a square door. Launderess CLICK HERE TO GO TO Launderess's LINK | ||

That washer with that huge big chrome door is actually one of my favourites. It's a V-Zug Adora or a Zug like most Swiss say. It's built like a tank and even much more expensive than a Miele. This Zug has a very special feature, it uses steam to get the creases out of the laundry. Never saw it but would love to! The artistlike guy in that spotless flat certainly has bad taste with choosing Bauknecht appliances. It's the least reliable of the German brands. The company is Whirlpool owned and as most of you probably know the Duets and Hetties are built in their factory. The European version in the pictures is the Bauknecht BIG. The drum is a bit smaller than it's American counterparts, but it spins with 1400rpm. | ||

DesignGeek, I'm sure your comments were meant to be taken lightly, for as anyone who frequents this and other forums can attest to; there are plenty of men out there who know how to do laundry. Some of my gf's husbands know their way around a laundry room better than their wives. As for babies, today's dads are STREET's ahead of previous generations, where mummy and other females did everything for baby because "men don't know how". Not only that macho just didn't allow for men to change diapers. It was seen as "women's work". Older men in our family loved playing/holding their children, but soon as baby "went", it would be handed over to the nearest female with "here, he's wet". Louis, Tell me more about that Zug washer! Really love the looks, and am intrigued about the steam feature! Regarding Whirlpool,thought one of the large washers looked like a Duet. Launderess | ||

Launderess, Zug appliances are made in Switzerland. The Zug Adora is part of the TOL washers for home use, the cheaper line is named Adorina. The Adorina line is actually a rebadged Bauknecht line. I don't know much about the steam feature, but the explanation on the website is that it's part of a no iron cycle in which the laundry is washed gently, spun gently and afterwards treated with steam so the laundry comes out of the washer significantly less wrinkled. I added the link to the V-Zug website. On top of the page you can choose between German, French and Italian by clicking on the letters D, F or I. CLICK HERE TO GO TO foraloysius's LINK | ||

V-Zug! V-Zug! V-Vug!
Oh how I want one of these machines! Jetcone, Follow the link for the spec sheet on all V-Zug models. The Adora line washers are 5kg. V-Zug, V-Zug, V-Zug (it's my new mantra, maybe if I keep chanting one will appear in my laundry room). Launderess CLICK HERE TO GO TO Launderess's LINK | ||

Design Geek: Dude, I knew you were kidding. I actually prefer staying home as opposed to being Rosie the Riveter. IMHO you have some awesome family values. If I see you in Omaha, I'm going to give you a big hug! :-) Venus | ||
