The Miele one costs more than having an electrician do it right the first time, if I recall correctly. Of course, you'll want it wired so you can go back to a 30amp dryer at some point in the future. The Miele washer and dryer are certainly nice appliances, though I'm not convinced they're worth the premium over a good american front loader.

Just to take this even further off topic, we buy all our appliances from our local Sears appliance outlet. It's a massive wearhouse just south of Oakland where all the returns end up. Some things are beat up, some things seem brand new, and they're often half the cost of buying off the shelf.
