Couldnt agree more! Esspecially after the awful 8KG Hoover I had about a year ago :( I think its nice they are designing new machines but I do believe their main problem is that their designs are not realistic. Mine had alot of motor issues which I do hope they have sorted out, although the drum itself had hardly any space to move around, and that combinded with the bad suspension that just seemed to turn to jelly when washing at any temperature above 40*c just made it go crashing around! And seeing as though they claim the cabinet is the standard size I really do dred to think what goes on come spinning time! :-) Will be good to see one in real life however because I really do doubt the drums are that big, I always use the simple example of that I can fit more in my 6kg Miele than I could in the Hoover. The drums I found are made to look big on the eye as they are generally wider than "standard" machines, although once you have a close look you see that there isnt much depth to them. As much as I dislike Hoover/Candy I do hope they have improved, as its always nice to see more affordable machines being built well :-) Richard |

I did notice these machines are quoted as being deeper than usual but even so I find it hard to belive their capacity is really 10kg's. I have a Miele too ( 1613 ) and I can get a lot of washing in there and get a suberb wash with the water+ set to extra water in the wash and an extra rinse. I mentioned in a previous post about the drums on the new panasonics seeming tiny compared to my Miele, yet they state they are 7kg. How are you finding your Miele btw? I actually love mine more every time I use it....lol! |

Yeah! Thing is people who dont know much about washers will think its amazing and go for it, not realising what theyre getting themselves in for lol ( Though deep down I hope they are better than what we think ) I feel exactly the same about my Miele! A year old next month already, its flown by and I just love it more and more :-) I cant reccomend them enough for people who afford them :D! Its just a bit of a shame you have to spend so much these days to get a "proper" washing machine :D But I wouldnt swap mine for anything Ive gotta say! :-) Still loving yours then I take it :-)?

Yes, I am still loving my Miele. I do occasionally wish I'd gone for the machine you have but then I LOVE the styling of mine...just a pity that the 1000 series don't come with the brushless motor. Oh well, nevermind....it is still a fantastic machine. I just wish I'd invested in Miele years ago, in the long run I would've saved a small fortune!! I was a bit worried when I bought this machine that I would get bored of it and want to replace it after a while....a major concern of Hubby's too...but to be honest I really don't see that happening. I think the over all feel of the machine is fantastic....the sturdiness is what I love, plus as you know, the machines change the cycle to suit the load so it is always entertaining!! |

No it's got the same drum from last year, from the pci i see it's same as my family friends hoover vhd862's drum and not 10kg for sure. The new 6kg hoovers look like a mere 4kg or less, what a joke. i think the 10kg will wash about 6kg, coz its got crap suspension etc. Btw in grattant its for £800 coz its got steam an all like aqualtis and lg.
