Haier is it pronounced *higher* ? 
Methinks a rebadge. Can't see it all that clearly. GE or MT? The tips and hints section at the bottom right is a blast. Different every time you open that page. (Translation: Someone whose bonus that depends on the number of hits was smart!) CLICK HERE TO GO TO toggleswitch's LINK | ||

It was Mee-Lay Up until recently whenever I heard the word Miele it was pronounced Mee-Lay. It seems to have been in the last couple of years that the way I'm hearing it pronounced has changed, and now all you hear is Mea-luh. | ||

That could be the aussie way of speaking though. I like the way to remember pronounciation. Miele is Sheila. :) As an FYI a Sheila is actually a female Kangaroo :) In slang terms its also a term to describe a woman. If it was used, it tends to be in a positive sense. IE Tracey is a top sheila :) | ||

Talking of Sheila's... This company has very VERY annoying adverts on TV at the moment (that actually feature Joe Scully in some of them, if any Neighbours fans remember him!) Jon CLICK HERE TO GO TO lavamat_jon's LINK | ||

And if you said, "I just got Haier," your friends might ask for a few puffs. And if you were gay and told your boyfriend "I like Kenmore," he might think you wanted to break up with him and go out with another guy. That's about all for the PG-rated ones:-) | ||

i've noticed alot of similarities of other brands in Haier appliances. CAUTION, they're Chinese. And virtually all Chinese industries have been accused of basically copying other companies' things. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they just lifted parts and features from other American brands and put them in their own machines. | ||

They are made by Frigidaire for Haier. The drum design of the dryer dates back to the GM days. Here's a link to the dryer pics with a newer design control panel. -Alex CLICK HERE TO GO TO tecnopolis's LINK on eBay

chinks and thiefs
My haier 22C is so much like a frigidaire unimatic that it scares me. Extrtemely powerful agitation; small tub that holds a ton; no pauses--rushes through the cycles; two rinses, exactly like my Mom's first UNIMATIC; great water efficiency; really quiet; and spins--forgive me--like a son of a bitch. It IS a unimatic, right down to the pulsator (not quite, but it works similarly and they call it a pulsator. AND IT'S IN MY KITCHEN, JUST LIKE MY ANCESTORS, AND I USE IT ALMOST EVERY DAY | ||

miele pronounciation
Ok, over here (in Munich) we pronounce it like the two words: ME and LAY with the "Lay" very soft, a bit like the the Canadian "F***kin' Eh" but absolutely NOT "LUH". And, of course, allruntogether: MELAY Sort of like Porsche. It does come from the French and they are real honeys; when the wheels on the lower rack of my 17 year old dishwasher broke, Miele sent me replacements with an apology and request for the old ones - so they could prevent such early part failure in future models. Like to see Bosch do that, if you think they are arrogant in the States, you ought to see them here in Germany. (Die Betonung ist nach Vorne gelagert: 'Mi*leh). | ||

pretty
I won't even TRY to explain how to pronounce 'hübsch'. The biggest challange folks from the 'States (like me about a million years ago) have in learning German (or other European languages) is that all the phonetics are based on an idealised "Oxford English" which doesn't exist. Example: This stupid "luh" nonsense for the final "e" in many German words. It is not anything close to "luh". It is a soft and tender (ok, nothing in German is that soft) sound sort of like the é in café. But not exactly. I could not reconcile the German ö with the written explanation that it is like "a" in English until a German born English teacher told me that to my "American" ears it would sound more like an "r". Which it does. The English I have met in Germany have the same problems with the descriptions I have... And so on. Never mind the purists, folks. Pronounce 'em as you like. After all, if you are taking the trouble to try to speak somebody else's language they should be thankful for your effort! Have never yet met a German who got theata and delta right... Dutch, of course, is a very even handed language - having all the horrids of English, Danish and German rolled into one, each phoneme is just as hard as the other :-))) | ||
