• Bosch WAT28400UC 300 Series 24 in. 2.2 cu. ft. Compact Washer
• WTG86400UC 300 Series 24 in. 4 cu. ft. Condensation Compact Dryer

of the two - Bosch. There are some old timer asks lovers on this board, but I see them as a niche player. You know you can get Bosch service

I would still get Miele. Better technology. Trust me you will be happier with Miele. Bosch and Asko have ZERO factory techs. They use "Authorized Providers". Miele does the same when they don't have a factory tech within a certain number of miles from your house.

Bosch doesn't offer their best machines in the USA. Miele offers the same tech here that they do elsewhere.

On the Bosch vs Asko question, have you seen rococogurl's long thread "New Bosch 500 Pair Delivered"? It covers the current Bosch 500 series washer and dryer and also discusses Asko.

Rococogurl is a long-time laundry maven who has also written extensively about Miele washers here and in her blog at atticmag.com. Also, have you checked out the AutomaticWasher site?

On the availability/unavailability of Miele factory techs, it is a "risk management" preference. For example, Roco's advice has been against buying Miele washers and dryers unless you have a servicer in your area who has the MDU (Miele Diagnostic Unit) laptop. She points out that all Miele factory techs but only some (not all) "Miele Authorized Servicers" have them. In my rather rural area, for example, there are is a Miele Authorized Servicer about 50 miles away but the nearest MDU is 400 miles away. Some folks here think Miele product quality is worth the risk of not having an MDU available while others do not think so.
