And I scoffed at the $7,000 price tag on the new KitchenAid stainless steel FL machines... Miele's new professional/commercial line ups the ante by a wide margin: Prices START at $20,000. Yes, that's TWENTY-FREAKING-THOUSAND-DOLLARS. To see this apparantly diamond-encrusted pair, follow the pretty blue link and click on the laundry/washer button.

But you must consider the fact that that Miele set is a commercial set, not really for residential use. Although, the people who DO buy them for residential use...well... how many ways can you say the word crazy, wthout actually saying it?

I can't believe my eyes!

You could custom build a machine for that price tag!

Can hardly wait to find one on the junk pile to restore!

Interesting machine, but $20,000?? Even Milnors start at $5000!

And speaking of custom building and modification, stay tuned...

Commercial soft mount machines (those with a suspension and high G force spinning) are typically 3-5 times more expensive than hard mounts (those without a suspension and low G spinning). I quickly gave up on the dream of having a super efficient laundromat when I learned that an 18# commercial soft mount is $6,500 compared to the 18# hard mount at $1,800.

Question Peter

How much does it cost as a function of purchase price to install the Hard Mount machines, and why don't they spin faster since they are hard mounts?
