Re: placing a dishwasher on top of a washing machine
But isn’t a washer twice as heavy as a slimline dishwasher? And I wouldn’t have both on at the same time
Re: placing a dishwasher on top of a washing machine
Thanks martin.
The washer is a top-of-the-range MIELE so no shaking 🙂
I just wanted to make sure there would be no problems with plumbing etc. I’ll go ahead then. Thanks again for the quicj reply. Fantastic site, by the way.
AndreaRe: Miele honeycomb drum: does it damage cotton clothes?
I probably chose a temperature (60 degrees) which is too high for white cotton T-shirts. Towels are okay, apart from a couple of loose threads. I have also washed a pair of (machine-washable) trainers a couple of times — do you think that might have damaged the drum? Several people I know wash their trainers in their washing machinge so I’d have thought that was OK. Do you think I should get in touch with Miele?
Re: Miele honeycomb drum: does it damage cotton clothes?
Just an update.
Apparently, there seem to have been quite a few complaints in Italy about the Miele Honeycomb drum. At least 5 people have had their washing machine replaced with a model with a traditional drum/or have been refunded by Miele. In my case, it’s mainly a matter of snags and a few stitches gone — Miele does not produce a washer dryer with a traditional drum and I am not too keen on the AEG Turbo or Bosch/Siemens.Re: Miele honeycomb drum: does it damage cotton clothes?
Thanks for your replies.
Actually, some of the stitches seem to have been damaged (the T shirts are plain white 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} cotton ones). Maybe that’s normal — I’m a novice here 🙂 The thing is I read a review of the Miele 2697 (I think) on the Italian CIAO site – this guy demanded a replacement of his new Miele as he claimed that the honeycomb drum had damaged towels (snags, damaged seams) and other garments that had been washed on the cotton cycle (it is indeed a VERY vigorous cycle — in theory, though, clothes are never in direct contact with the drum… but is that true???
