A new model with crisp Euro-styling and easy-to-use controls designed for the American market. If you want a side loader but are not thrilled with the ergonomics, consider the ‘8401. It boasts improved drum and door angles make this the easiest-loading side-loader available. As with the Miele, it is a very quiet machine, but still manages to purr with a precise German accent to assure you all’s well with your clothes and the world. Available in white or an oh-so-sexy silver/white duo-tone finish.
