newVideoPlayer("/mieles7_gizmodo.flv", 465, 286,""); I usually don’t get excited about home appliances unless you can cook with them or they vibrate, but this Miele S7′s video has actually amazed me. Not only because it looks like it came from outer space thanks to the front LEDs, sensors, and LCD screen, but because of its smart design, which allows it to twist in every direction–to the point of laying flat–and transform with all kinds of built-in contraptions.

They should christen it The Walk-In Fridge, because this thing is so big that you can fit a cow inside. So huge in fact that I won’t be able to put it in my apartment’s living room. Actually, I think can put my entire living room and bedroom inside during the summer months. [More IFA 2008 Coverage]
