I saw the new Vision series the other day and it did look like it had a true horizontal drum unlike my Nexxt which definitely had a bit of a tilt. It appeared to be a major engineering redesign from the former models, since it also had a totally different detergent drawer, different * shorter paddles, can be stacked now, etc. The dryer seemed much more similar to the old Nexxt. Given the significant changes in the washer it almost made me wonder if it was an OE rebadge of somebody else's model but I'm not aware of anyone else other than SQ making large horizontal-axis washers... the HA Miele's are the EU ones that are relatively tiny. Let us know how it turns out! | ||

Miele relatively tiny? Hahah that's the best I've heard in years XD. Here in Belgium Miele introduced in a silent way their new range of washer with a TRUE 8kg drum! SO I don't think miele is tiny... they are not tiny at all!!!!! As you see the door is diffferent but I like the new classic style!

Seriously...
I am beginning to think that this drive to be the largest capacity washer for the home is gonna have to come with some sacrifice. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. I think the ultimate sacrifice is longevity of the equipment. I just don't think they are building these uber machines with enough substance to tolerate the forces created by driving 20 lbs of dry laundry soaked down with water. The tub bearings and suspension just don't seem to be enough to handle it. Just my opinion... Malcolm | ||

Well by "relatively tiny" I was referring mainly to the 303x series here in the US which I think are about 2.x cubic feet vs. roughly twice that for the Vision. Those machines appear to be absolutely built like tanks (more than the W484x), but the size could be an issue for a big family with a lot of laundry. And the W484x has a tilted drum to boot...another compromise.

Interesting drum Sizes
"the drive to be the largest capacity washer for the home is gonna have to come with some sacrifice", never a true work has been spoken, and all because the consumer wants "BIG" now I can reason with that because of top loader / large load washing but unless the machine components can withstand the extra stress it isnt going to be long before the Euro large capacity machines start giving up the ghost!! And because size is deceptive..!!! would you say this W1756 Miele washing machine has the larger dum capacity?? CLICK HERE TO GO TO chestermikeuk's LINK
