Hi all,
I have bought a new flat, and am moving into it at the end of this month. The place came with a Bosch Washing Machine (a MAXX range one) which I isntantly have put on ebay! Soooo here's the question. I've around £1000 - £1200 to spend on a new washing machine. My new dishwasher, cooker, fridge are all Stainless Steel so I want it to be the same colour. I am currently (cheaply!) bidding on a Stainless Steel Asko Washing machine on ebay, and have set a max bid - if I dont get it, then my options will be: A Miele W5478 SS, in stainelss steel OR A VZUG - Adora S I cant see any other good branded Stainless Steel Machines on the UK market at the moment, but I could be wrong What would you guys do? (I really wish ASKO still sold S/S models with the closed door on the UK market) Also - didnt one of you used to run an appliance website, where they were for sale? This was the only place I remember seeing V-Zugs for sale. Really appreciate your advice here, Chris |

Chris, I've got a VZug Adora (SLQ) - only the panel is stainless steel, not the whole machine |

Whist the VZug is a wonderful machine it is my undertsanding that it is WAY out of your price range, so it would have to be the Miele.
I belive that the Asko's were also sold here as Maytags so it might be worth looking out for those as a used option. But if you have the cash to spare I think the Miele would be the best option all round for many years trouble free washing Al |

The V-Zug are available but only in WHITE with Chrome trim unfortunately, but will set you back around £2.5k...

Chris, Theres a MaytAsko on ebay at moment, I would go for these over Miele if you want something different from mainstream, had these 10years now and still going strong!!
What are you other SS brands as they can all have slightly different colours? CLICK HERE TO GO TO chestermikeuk's LINK |

Hi all....
thanks for your replies! Mieleforever - thanks for the information, appreciate it! It is a very smart machine in white too! Glenfieldmark...thanks for that link - that AEG looks super nice...I'm going to get shot here, but Im going to say nicer than the Miele...I just guess its a Zanussi under all that pretty exterior isnt it?? And I sold the Bosch as it was just the very basic model, and I have a high end one here I am leaving behing( new owners bought off me) so thought may as well get all new Vacbear...must admit I assumed VZUG were priced the same as Miele. Yeah, I dont think even I could justify £2k on a washing machine. Shame though Liberator....thanks for the link - I am going to contact my local stockist and see what the price of these are - I just really like the clean lines of them Mike...yeah, I had assumed they were Miele Priced...shame really! and I had spotted that Maytag on ebay, but I am currently bidding on an Asko branded version, so I dont want to end up with two of them! REALLY like your set - they just look that little bit different |
