I've got said washer
and I have to say its by far the best FL out there for longevity and infrequent repair bills it has a lot of choices as you mentioned and can get anything cleaned rinsed and spun without fuss with no bother at all.
It is also one of the quietest washers I have ever owned and I know what its doing by the pump as thats noisy in comparison.. All of this is of course my own opinion and am sure there are some who would not agree but to each his own. Austin | ||

The Octoplus larger (8k) machines are available now too in the US, even with a drain pump model. Not quite clear on how the electrical requirements stack up but if you need bigger, you can get it now.
They do, however, probably make the Little Giants look affordable.... CLICK HERE TO GO TO mysteryclock's LINK | ||

IIRC
Even the largest to then date Miele front loaders with a standard width cabinet (1926, 1986) were only rated 6kg, find it hard to believe the 3000 series holds 6.5. Not sure about the 1000 and 1200 series but the former had a tub four inches deeper to accommodate a "larger" load. Only one kilo difference, but still.
Indeed due to lower water/energy use than the older models one would assume 5.5 is closer to the true measure. | ||

25000 hours' life? If you did a load a day and it took an hour for a cycle, you'd have (25000/365 =) 68.5 years' use! | ||

Some where, one forgets exactly where
One read a report on now Miele and other European (and one assumes others)arrive at their duty cycle lifespan number.
IIRC it is something to do with the amount of laundry done per day for an average family or some such. Most newer Miele washers have a program setting that will tell a Miele tech or anyone else who knows how to bring the numbers up. | ||

The washers are made in Gütersloh, I'm pretty sure. (see pic)

Provided One Has The Proper Power
That set *could* be quite a deal. Much would depend upon the nature of damage and how much it would cost to repair. Given Miele's parts and service cost it could run into hundreds or thousands but likely to be cheaper than purchasing the three new.
Someone was selling a Miele 3033 or some such on eBay a few weeks ago that looked as if it also fell off a truck/was dropped. Considered it but simply didn't want to take the risk. I mean the drain hose connection was snapped off, front face plate split/cracked/broken and so forth. Simply not worth transport costs. If live had lived in the local area it *might* have been worth a look, but maybe not even then. Knowing what one knows about Miele parts costs usually for what one or two major parts cost you can make a down payment or purchase a machine new. Finally there is the question of how Miele would view the warranty of a "damaged" unit even if it was "new" when purchased. | ||

According to the Dutch Miele site, the Little Giants are manufactured in Unicov in the Czech Republic.

Indeed, Louis. I should have used past tense, rather than present tense. ;-D
Off-topic: have you seen the M-Touch series on miele.de? It's under Neuigkeiten/Aktionen. Pretty cool. I heard Miele plans to expand that color touch screen to other products as well. Plus someone form the German forum said, Miele is planning to introduce detergent cartridges for their next generation of washers. | ||
