Anyone know how many gallons the tub holds on the full fill/ extra large load setting for the AWNE92SP? Posting here before filling it one five-gallon bucket at a time to measure capacity. My 9 series fills to the top of the tub and covers the holes on the extra large setting. Looking for how much it holds when empty and know with clothes it will hold a bit less. Thanks.

Closest estimate I've seen is 24 gallon for Normal-Eco and 40 gallons for most other loads and either 20 or 26 gallons for tub. I'm guessing about 20 or so gallons goes through the tub each extra large cycle when it has clothes in it. User manual, parts manual, and install manual don't list gallons. I'll probably end up counting how many 5 gallon buckets go in it and post an update if I do. Or get one of those garden hose end gallon meters I've been wanting to pick up.
Normal-Eco is spray rinse cycle I don't use and other loads should be doing full rines based on water level setting. I use extra large for most loads and am happy the 9 series seems to do full fill on extra large so I don't have to worry about adjusting water level. |

Thanks for sharing detailed info about the EU machines like Miele. EU and places like Australia and New Zealand are ahead of the US in some areas of tech and efficiency. I've always been interested in the appliances and tech used overseas. My neighbor's 20 year old so old washer use a even more water than mine. California where I live has paid attention to efficiency in the last few decades so we are making progress which is important when we import so much water. But when water is less than a penny a gallon you see high usage. We pay about a hundred dollars every two months and that's around 14 units of water and a unit is 768 gallons.
I have a small for the US 1400 sq ft house and 3-ton air conditioner that is 3 or 4 kwh and it's one of the newer more efficient models. You also have the 240-volt grid best we see here is 240 volt for a water heater, electric dryer, or whole house AC but you're not going to find a residential 240-volt washer. I'd love to have access to some 240-volt appliances like your washer with the heater and electric tea kettle but even if you can get them and have a 240-volt receptacle you'd need a 60hz to 50 hz converter. A lot of our infrastructure was built up before we paid much attention to efficiency. When I got my late 70s house it had a 10 SEER or so air conditioner and very little insulation but the plumbing had been updated for low water use fixtures. Newer construction is much more efficient but we have a lot of older homes especially post World War II construction that is very inefficient for energy use. California is making improvements energy-wise which is good because we have a ridiculous amount of people and not a ton of water. Other states have a better balance of people and resources.

In Germany, water is calculated in m³. The numbers you listed are about 40m³, and where I am from, that is about 220€. Out household used about 300m³ IIRC. That should be 110 units per year in your measurements. |

My water and sewer bill are combined and billed monthly so I am paying about $10 for each 100 cubic foot or 748 gallons used. After adding fixed service charges I pay $74 per month for 600 cubic feet of water each month or $10 less if I use 500 cubic feet, so it's got to be a front loader for me. |

My costs are nowhere close to what is going on in California, but still as good as a SQ might be or as good as they were, a front loader makes sense for my pocketbook. Why give a utility more money than you have to? |

Our laundry has limited clearance so a front loader door wouldn't have the room to fully open. Dryer is on the side with a little more clearance but it's a tight fit too.
Front loader is a lot more efficient but is another four five hundred dollars and we don't do a ton of laundry and often do small loads. Overall cost is close enough that for us it's about personal preference. |
