The Lower end Miele motors are Brush Motors, which have parts that touch and therefor rub. The High end ones are 3 phase Induction motors with no frictional parts. Thus one is Maintenance free and the other requires Brush replacement every 10 years or so. | ||

Thanks That makes sense. Assuming the bearings never go bad, the motor would probably last forever! I'll be ok with throwing a set of carbons in my W3033, when I'm about 40 yrs old. LOL Andrew | ||

ES bulbs
I cant think of a worse comparison than with these expensive to buy/produce, unreliable, totally un eco to produce and get rid of light bulbs.......bad choice there Bosch It does make me laugh though about efficiency though, like Mr dyson with his digital motor going on about carbon emissions from the brushes... and of course efficiency.........is this the only parameter now...........so it would seem.......marketing spin thats all i see it as....simple black and white terms that joe public can be conned with....so he buys the latest "efficient" appliance The motor looks intersting though, nothing new in its technology though. As a hi-fi engineer AC or DC direct drive motors have been used for years in turntables, and yes i would agree that if motor noise is a no no then a linear motor washer is a better bet for you, but then it all goes pear shaped when the manufacturers go and fit a cheap and very noisy magnetic pump, progress eh :-) The famous LG direct drive machines appear on a fairly regular basis where i work, bearings being the main problem and they are so expensive to replace, most people then dump the machine how efficeint is that I rememebr LG's direct drive marketing gadget showed a belt drive tub wobbling around on its suspenion and the LG DD driven tub rotating smoothly on its suspension..........what a load of shite, but fun to watch...........marketing and spin all of it Anyway thats me rant over have fun Gary | ||

That specialized motor is nice and cute, but remember a motor like that will require a complex controller. I bet the controller isn't made as high a quality as the motor. They have to put something cheap in the system. | ||

Gary, Paul and myself saved one of theose LG contraptions just for a bit of fun. Mums LG drum wobbles around like any other machine if not worse with just about any load. Especially with the weird distribution phase they do although its not so bad at spinning and usually just gets on with it - no bearing troubles yet I hasten to add. On the other hand Pauls Mum's Hotpoint I noticed rarely has any wobble when ramping up yet takes so long to decide it wants to spin. Gets SOOOO frustarting to watch. The spin is as entertaining what with the kitchen having a suspended wooden floor. 800rpm shakes it somewhat freakily to the point of it making me feel sick. I have never hung around long enough for it to reach the 1200rpm his Mum limits it to. No wonder she wont let it go to its potential 1400rpm. I can just see the cat vibrating unwantingly down the hallway and I can only imagine what it was like with the old 95452 roaring away. The machine is solid on its feet so no installation issues. Now as for the drain pump on both machines, yes its nice to know they are working but sheesh the racket! | ||
