Goodbye and Hello


Our old Miele washing machine finally bit the dust.


goodbye
So we bought a new one.

hello

  Our old friend was 21 years old and had stood up to almost industrial use. Used not only for family but for my vast stock of



blankets, 


quilts,



vintage fabrics and drapes


and vintage sweaters. 

It was also abused by other members of this family who overload, use the wrong detergent and wash everything on the highest possible temperature so that underwear elastic disintegrates immediately.

New machine ( at great expense I may add)  seems promising if I can work out the IT settings.

    1. Miele says that the average life span of one of their washers is 18 years.

  4. Good luck with your new washer. I seem to replace mine every 3 years or so. I wish I could figure out how to make use of the carcasses. I already have a 1930's stove in my yard planted with flowers, so... I do hate an appliance that is smarter than me!

  5. had to pay $30 to have it taken away, which I thought was a bit rich.
