Unfortunately it is made in Thailand. Nothing wrong with products made in asian countries. hehehee l'm asian myself but l find that products that are made in germany are heaps better. Therefore after all this we decided to put a deposit on the miele. They have a sale on now. $200 off the model that l want so l decided to snap it up because they rarely have sales. Our house is still getting built and only up to the bricks stage so l'll have to wait till October to test it out If you're talking about the logixx range which are the 8kg ones they are made in Germany. It is the Maxx range which come out of Thailand. Re: what size washing machine do you have and is it big enou 66May 27, 2010 11:19 pm The sales people told me that they were all made from Thailand. I would have looked into the logixx range if it was made in Germany. Oh wells, l'm happy with my purchase. Handover date 3rd August 2010 WOOHOO!!! Re: what size washing machine do you have and is it big enou 67May 29, 2010 4:48 pm We have a front loading Siemens 8kg with 1400rpm spin speed. It is exactly the same machine as the Bosch Logixx8 but had a longer warranty for the same price. Cost us $2200 which I know is the price of a small second hand car but it is my dream machine. We have 5 kids and 3 are currently bed-wetters (family curse) so have lots of sheets and bedding on a regular basis. Used to have an LG 7kg front loader... a lemon, we only got probably 4 reasonable years out of it (and another 3 really bad ones) and it really only worked at optimal performance for maybe the first 2 years. The Miele model that goes up to 1400rpm is much more expensive. This spin speed is fantastic especially if the drier becomes necessary which is often during wet season in FNQ because it doesn't take long. The machine is still gentle on clothes and even spins back and forward at the end to loosen clothes. Also soooo much shorter wash times than the LG.

When I do delicate loads and reduce the spin speed, the clothes are so much wetter afterwards. Pfiff Finally making progress again, with a clothesline (yippee) and some much needed little things being attended to over the holidays. 40 C on New Year's eve? We love our a/c! Re: what size washing machine do you have and is it big enou 69May 09, 2014 7:20 pm Resurrecting the old thread... I am getting 2 machines in the new house when its built. Can't wait. Will run them side by side. We have a 7.5kg F&P top loader, and I hate it. I've always had F&P, but this one tangles clothes so much. Good thing about top loaders is that they're quick. I do probably 14 loads a week with 2 kids (yes, everyone washes at different rates). So when I have the two machines, it should cut my workload down when I can fill two at once and hang outside early in the morning on a weekend. Will consider the 10kg machine.
