 Well, I've been thinking about a New Daily Driver.
How do we feel about Kenmore (LG) these days ? I've been reading some not so good to horrible reports on Maytag, Whirlpool and Fridgidaire.
I've never owned a Front Loader and I actually dislike them, but I've been pressing my luck with the Septic. So Guys and Gals... Let's Have It ! I was reading a thread and I'm not happy with what I read about the New Top loaders using a teaspoon of water for the rinse no matter what the load size is.
Now, I would love to spend the money on a Miele, and I might... but what are the opinions on a roughly $800.00 machines ? I look at it this way... Should I decide to go over the $1,000 mark , why not get the Miele ?
I went to the Miele site and it's hard to find prices without going to the dealer. Does anyone know or have purchased a Miele recently and should I have a defribillator on stand by ? Thanks CLICK HERE TO GO TO toploader55's LINK | ||

Just got in from... Looking at 2 models. That's all they had on the floor and for Cape Cod that was a shock.
I looked at the W 3033 and the W 4802. For the small difference in the price, (and when to me when you start approaching $1200.00, what's another 3-400. (It's like throwing a Deck Chair off the Queen Mary) Especially when it's going on a Credit Card.
The W 4802 as well as the smaller machine I looked at is Built like a Tank. I would venture to say that if the US was building Front Load Machines back in the 50's and 60's... This would be how we would have built them. They look like they could have been a division of Daimler/Benz. Even closing the door felt good. I had asked them also about Speed Queen as they used to be a distributor on Cape and the woman told me that more people were buying Miele than SQ so they dropped them.
After leaving the Miele dealer, I scooted over to Sears and looked at their offerings. Ummmmm well, not so much. If your going to shell out $1500+ for a LG, Whirlpool, Maytag, Samsung, or Fridgidaire... for $250 more you can get the Large Series Miele. I guess at this point it's a matter of preference.
Ah Ha !!! you're thinking "What about Service ?" This dealership is Authorized trained Miele Service. Another Earth Shattering Shocking Discovery on Cape Cod. | ||

If You Want To Dip Your Toes Into the Miele Pool
There is a nice Miele w1918 in your area (Longmeadow Craigslist) that has been sitting for ages. Price is dirt cheap ($200 IIRC), and would make a nice "starter" washer for your intro into front loaders. You'll need a 220v outlet however.
Capacity wise such units are rated for about 11lbs, which is more than enough for most normal purposes. But if your the sort that likes to allow laundry to build up for days or weeks on end and thus have mountains of the stuff to do and want it gone quickly then such a Miele isn't for you. Well not unless you have access to another washer with either a larger capacity and or faster cycles. L. | ||

Miele ....
has to be the only machine worth spending that amount of money on.! As for a lack of service personnel could it have anything to do with them not being needed???
The things are built like tanks and once levelled on a solid floor they take some beating for quietness and ability to spin with anything unbalanced. Mine is on now and its in the kitchen where I am sat the loudest noise is when a zipper hits the glass... Brilliant machine imho of course...:) Austin | ||
