If you haven't bought a washer since 2002, you'll want to know that they've changed since then, and there are additional pitfalls to consider, besides the ones that soured your experience with the HE3t. One factor is water temperature: "Warm" and "hot" have been defined downward on some machines, and internal heaters have been programmed to be less effective. Another factor is water usage: Current machines may use less water than those made in 2002, and poor washing and rinsing performance has been attributed to this. With that out of the way... You want to hear if we're impressed with our washer. I'm impressed with my Miele W4840, which I've had for six months. It offers five wash temperatures (30C, 40C, 50C, 60C, 70C), and it uses the internal heater to boost incoming temperature if necessary (and also to maintain the temperature during the wash cycle, of course). Wash cycle times are generous compared to some brands, and there's an option to extend them further. Those factors add up to flexibility, and great cleaning ability. Rinsing seems fine, without using the extra rinse option, or configuring for extra rinses or higher water level. Miele has a reputation for solid construction, and my machine seems well-built. I have it installed on a sturdy wood floor above a basement, and the vibration isn't excessive. I would think the weight would contribute to stability, not detract from it, but of course most any FL washer will shake if not installed properly. The door is hinged on the right, so it's best installed on the right side. But it comes with longer hoses to reach plumbing hookups that are normally on the left. Re your mom's opinion of sanitary cycles: Think of it as a way to do a very-hot wash, to get stuff like towels very clean, not just a way to kill germs. It's useful, not a gimmick.

Sienna Glen is quite a popular tree here in the north. I plant hundreds of them every year. They are superior to the Autumn Blaze in terms of branch structure. Very wind firm by comparison. Autumn Blaze has a tendency to develop poor, tight branch angles that may split or break off with age. This is less common with Sienna. New growth on Autumn Blaze is also more easily broken in heavy winds. Autumn Blaze is more upright in shape, whereas Sienna tends to get wider. Leaves are somewhat smaller on the Sienna. In terms of hardiness, Sienna is the tougher tree. I have seen significant less frost cracking & sun scald on the Sienna. Noticeably fewer trunk cankers as well. The downside of Sienna is that the fall color is more erratic. Autumn Blaze has been one of the most consistent trees at flaming out some brilliant shade of red. Sienna is bright, like most maples in the fall, but red or even orange color is no guarantee. It's different from year to year. Autumn Blaze is also better at handling severe drought conditions. Some years back, my area had a late summer drought that lasted well into winter. The following spring, numerous Sienna had branch die-back all over the crown. The Autumn Blaze were unscathed. And they were planted in the same fields. Sorry....long-winded answer.

I'm glad to see a lot of great feedback for you. Reading your original comment, this is what stands out to me. In your words, your parents are wanting to "make aesthetic updates", but when you're talking about a shower, replacing tile is not an "aesthetic update". That requires demolition down to the studs then completely rebuilding a water tight system from the ground up and then installing tile over top. I've done this this work myself before (not a pro) and it is a huge amount of work. Demolition is hard labor and the materials have to be hauled out, which is far more complicated if you have to exit multi-unit building. Then it's a technical skill to build up a proper shower system before the tile work even starts. Once that shower system is ready for tile, it takes experience, skill, and craftsmanship to install tile properly and beautifully. Quality labor is in high demand in many areas (certainly in mine) so unfortunately that means a lot of expense. If you want to do simple aesthetic updates that would keep the cost down, consider just paint, lighting, mirror, and maybe a vanity or countertops.
