    Miele TwinDos-Empty Bottles

    For other scents and fabric types - I simply shut off the twindos and use powder, or another liquid. Swapping twindos liquid on this thing frequently is a chore. I find the kids fall in line when I leave them with the correct size scoop for one load vs the giant scoop that would allow them...

    Miele vs Miele

    20ml is plenty with reasonably soft water. I settled on 18ml after a month of playing around and find it to be plenty for most loads. Im feeling bait and switched on the refillable cartridge availability but I'll get a set. The Liquid Persil from wal mart makes for a hell of a deal if it...

    Mile 1215 worth it in the end? Hello new W1

    My first load of Detergent lasted 2 months and my bleach lasted 2 months and 3 days. I'm not certain this machine measures the amount remaining accurately, or is just a simply a counter. It asked for a bleach cannister change at 10% and I have a fair amount remaining. UD

    Miele vs Miele

    Where is the logic of not believing Miele themselves in terms of cycle lifespan? If it's at 7500 cycles and you elect to throw it away because of shocks - that disposable The OP' unit has 50% more cycles on it than it is rated for now- and teh 4840 was considered one of mieles worst product...

    Miele vs Miele

    Good question Launderess. Curious as to the OP's reply. My answer would be that investing any more money into a platform with 15K cycles on it is likely to achieve a negative ROI. Its at the end of life for what would be a pw6065's life and 50% over what its home cycle count is rated for...

    Miele vs Miele

    I have a new Miele W1 and love it - came from a 1215 I loved as well. If your situation Id put in 2 pair of electroluxes and split the work between them. Id get 5 year warranties and just burn em down to nothing UD

    Mieles terrible connectivity

    I applaud the inclusion of connectivity - even if it simply mirrors the machines and gives a status update. More info would be better, cumulative resource consumption would be cool - I can put a KWH number to it but knowing exactly how much water I use would be nice - it knows per load how...

    Using your dishwasher as a waterproof safe

    An igloo/coleman/ other suitable cooler attached to your house with a rope will just float around with the water below the door - keeping the water out. We tried it in a swimming pool and it works fine aside from the security issue. UD

    Front loaders, Pilling, and Fabric Shavers

    Dryer cooking happens, so does wash damage for me. "seriously" damaging is rare - my 1215's 220V sanitize heat level would scour iron on transfers right off and wipe out delicate fabrics if improperly used (mainly by guests not knowing what they unleashed) My old top loaders would...

    Front loaders, Pilling, and Fabric Shavers

    Correct Laundress- but sometimes they can open up. Sometimes you miss one- other times like when the "kids" do their own laundry - they just don't follow the sagely advice given by the manual or their elders. All I'm saying is that a wet load of jeans with an open zipper CAN and sometimes...

    Front loaders, Pilling, and Fabric Shavers

    Never saw any FL that was used normal that had any deeper scratches on plastic parts inside the drum, no matter which price point. Your point is insanely easy to disprove. If metal zippers could easily scratch plastic lifters to the point they become problematic, they would easily scratch...

    Front loaders, Pilling, and Fabric Shavers

    In FL's with plastic ladles this effect often becomes worse over time. As heavy loads with zippers drag across the ladles the surfaces become lined with pits and scrapes which then drag across your your clothes thousands of times multiplying the effect and tearing up your clothes in an...

    Mile 1215 worth it in the end? Hello new W1

    Not really any advice per se (I don't know enough after a 6 weeks or so to give any) - but I'd pay attention to the various weight each program is good for - you only have max weight available on a few cycles. Is suspect your water hardness will have a lot to do with 18/15 ML respectively...

    Mile 1215 worth it in the end? Hello new W1

    My toughest recurring load - 6-7 area rugs one being 5X2 and quite plush and absorbs lots of water This would stymie my 1215 50% of the time and I'm at 5 for 5 on full spin outs with eth W1. I've also run this load with another area mat for the back shower- it was flawless. The background...

    Mieles terrible connectivity

    Tomturbomatic - no the app doesn't alter water levels from what I can tell. One thing I forgot above was it allows you to update the firmware on the machine as well. I did that was well but noticed no differences as I hadn't enough time on it prior. I found it does not alter the setting as...

    I can tell you what the app had, not sure about the latest update Status as to where a load is in a cycle and estimate of remaining time What load options you selected KWH-current load only -no cumulative Water use - per load only- no cumulative twindos 1&2 remaining % No other app I've used...

    Mile 1215 worth it in the end? Hello new W1

    On another note, the cavalry arrived in the form of the twindos promo units. Oddly shipped at two separate times. The 2 I bought are trailing behind the free stuff. First ones are about 60% full after one month at 18 and 15 MM settings. Didn't count loads but that would be a nice feature...

    Mile 1215 worth it in the end? Hello new W1

    Interesting find - pretty succinct. I doubt Unimac has this wrong. proof would be founded upon multiple accurate data points - so far this is the 2nd 3rd party data point I've seen that backs your (and increasingly my own ) opinion on the subject. The first being Miele bothered to put it...
