I have seen pictures of these machines as well and I LOVE their design! It makes so much sense for the washer tub to be the laundry basket! And all those wild colors!!! YAY!!!! I wish such a machine was brought to the US, I'd buy it in a heartbeat! The tub is not locked in place at all if that is what you're referring to, rather, the tub is angled thus it naturally falls into place and stays there! And btw, those metal supports in the drum are actually water pipes, they circulate the wash water by showering it over the load through the drum baffles! Similar to the LG washers I believe...

The benefit is that you don't need to transfer the load into the washer from a basket and instead taking the load out piece by piece and dropping something on the floor or plopping a basket under the washer door to unload into and reload into the dryer, you just pull out the washer's tub and plop it in front of the dryer to unload! Plus you can have as many tubs as you want, it seems to come with three, but more can be ordered such that you can have every load all loaded and ready to go when the washer stops!

Titan Monotub
Have one of the original machines from 2001, when they where first released, super machine, simple to programme & operate, drum slips out easy enough and is light enough to carry!!! The early reliabilty issues have been sorted and the bugs ironed out so to speak, it is selling well abroad apparently but people have long memories and remember the previous models and bad press it had!! The drum sits in its place by the metal bracket on the back of the removable drum, (blue drum comes with it) this bracket also power pumps the water through to the vanes in the drum!! heres some pics, so you can see....

It seems very very complex to me! No wonder the early machines had reliability issues! How have they sorted them out? Does the new version still pump water to the tub vanes? Is it always pumping water through the vanes when there is water in the tub or only at certain times? This washer is FASCINATING!!!!!!

Which? Magazine... ...commented at the time, that the machine on test had out-of-balance / vibration issues, as well as (in Which?'s view) problems with the way the internal wiring was routed. I think the modern Mieles look cosmetically quite similar to the Titan. | ||

My question is how fast does it spin? I thought the big push for stainless steel in these newfangled FL's, is that it will not hold up to the high speeds? thanks alr2903 | ||
