Re: Smeg, Miele, Siemens: which integrated washer/dryer? Ad

Hold on, what do you mean 1400 rpm is already too fast? As far as I understand it, this equates to drying efficiency B (suggesting that 1600 rpm is A and that it is ok).

Should I go for a 1200 rpm then?

I am now looking at AEG L14710VIT and the AEG L12710VIT.

The only difference I can make out between these are the spin rpms, 1400 compared to 1200. Can someone confirm this?

I am looking at these because of space limitations. The depth will fit my kitchen better, and seeing that they are ok, well, it looks like I’ll have to go with it (unless someone here has any objections which I am unaware of).

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks

Yes, I got that i.e. CDA aren’t as good as Siemens/Miele.

By the way, what about AEG? There machines seem quite reasonable which in turn made me a little suspicious.

Any views on their machines? Are these ones to avoid at all costs?

Thanks

Re: Smeg, Miele, Siemens: which integrated washer/dryer? Ad

Thanks for your replies, they are appreciated.

I cannot go with the Miele because it does not allow for a furniture door to get it to blend with the rest of the kitchen (her in-doors wouldn’t have it).

The Siemens/Neff machines I believe are a still a little too deep for comfort and it would be a very tight fit, which worries me since I’ll be installing it and I’d prefer the extra manouvering space.

The Smeg appears to fit in fine, though.

So I ask, would this be a decision I’d regret. Are Smeg machines rated at all? Is this a bad decision?

Thanks in advance once again

Laurence.

I was about to ask about Neff and whether they were any good. My concern here is price.

I currently have a Zanussi washer/dryer built-in which has been going strong for 10 years. Still going but I’m going to get a new one before in conks out.

I don’t know how the Zanussi is rated but it’s been quite good.

Re: Smeg, Miele, Siemens: which integrated washer/dryer? Ad

The Siemens has 1400 rpm spin whereas the Smeg has 1600 rpm.

Is this an important consideration? Also, why are you not that happy with Smeg? Are they considered an inferior brand?

Whilst I’m at it, can anyone tell me what brands I should definitely steer clear off?

Thank again

Laurence.
