I ordered a box of UltraWhite and the only dosing instructions are the attached picture. I have a Miele W1 with an 8 kg capacity. Generally my loads of white / light clothes are 6-8 kg. What dosing guide should I use? Does the box have a scoop inside? (Haven’t opened it yet.). If...

I placed the service call. The service rep contacted me. I had done all the correct things. However, I had not reset the system (power off for 5 min). I looked through the manual and didn’t see any reference to do that. I’m happy it’s fixed but also happy with how quickly the engineer...

I placed a service call. I think the issue is the screws for the sensor. The installers did not leave any screws so I used screws provided by the cabinet maker. I think they are either the wrong type or not long enough. The sensor is installed exactly the way specified in the instructions...

We have really enjoyed our new kitchen and using the new space and appliances over the holidays. The prep area / bar dishwasher is a Fisher Paykel single drawer unit with a custom front panel. We really like it a great deal and it is a nice pair to go with the Miele. (Definitely not as...

Have run quite a few loads with a variety of cycles in the Miele over the holidays. The detergent in the PowerDisk is pretty amazing. It’s especially good on Pots but everything really gleams. From the manual, it decreases the dose on the Crystal cycle, increases it on Pots / Pans and can...

I have a Kenmore Elite 800 canister vacuum which I really like. However, the foam on the seal of the port the hose connects into has gotten worn out and loose. As such, because of the leaky seal some of the dirt bypasses the bag and into the first filter. What is that foam called? It...

I’m not sure. The only drawback to the machine is the controls and display are on the top. So, I can’t see what phase of the cycle it is in. The display has symbols which allow you to tell if it’s an interim rinse. The app only says “Rinse” and “Final Rinse”. No matter what cycle I run...

Miele UltraWhite vs. Persil Currently working through some Tide with Bleach. Thinking about possibly trying Miele UltraWhite powder next. Anyone have thoughts about UltraWhite vs. Persil Universal Powder or MegaPerls? All of the other Miele cleaning products I’ve tried have been pretty...

Thanks Chris. That makes sense. They are superbly well thought out machines. I don’t have the front facing display. The statuses are not displayed that way in the app so I’m at a bit of a loss in that way. Bob

Quick Intense Wash I was cooking this morning and had a full load of dishes. I tried out the Quick Intense Wash. Wow! It was quiet but you could definitely hear the spray intensity increase relative to the other cycles. Water usage was quite a bit more than the other routine cycles...

Options… In the Settings menu, there are several different options: Enable / Disable AutoDos (Automatic Detergent Dispensing) Change AutoDos dispense amount (less, standard or more detergent) Rinse Agent dispense amount Water Softener Hardness Setting Enable second interim rinse Enable “Extra...

We are mostly using the Miele detergent which is dispensed by AutoDos. I have some Finish Ultimate but have not tried it yet. Bob

I was able to run our new Miele G7166 dishwasher a few times this weekend with houseguests and cooking. This is my first Miele dishwasher and I’m as impressed as I am with our Miele washer and dryer. Aside from setting the machine with the local water hardness, the only setting I’ve changed...

Thank you for all of your work this weekend as well as all you do to maintain these sites. They are such wonderful communities and on-line resources. Bob

Thanks. That makes perfect sense now. I like the Hand Wash / Delicate cycle on the W1 but had always laid out sweaters flat. I had not thought of using that to fluff the fabric up. Side Note: I got some Perwoll and love it. Works beautifully on wool and silk. Bob

As we progress with our kitchen remodel, we’ve been doing much needed cleaning and organizing throughout the house. I was washing some wool items and selected Woolen / Silks on the dryer. Cycle time was only 5 minutes and not adjustable. I checked in the App and it was the same (pic attached)...

I tried the CottonRepair Caps. I used the Normal cycle at 40C set for heavy soil. They definitely helped to restore the smooth appearance of several cotton garments. The package does say to limit the load size to 2.0 kg. I’ll definitely get them again in the future. For fun, I also tried...

I found this site which has PDFs of old corporate food marketing recipe books. Super interesting and might make for some fun holiday cooking. Enjoy! Bob https://www.beatriceco.com/history/historical_recipes/

Hi Everyone Anyone have recommendations for a Roomba (or equivalent) model which will vacuum and mop? This will primarily be used on ceramic tile in our new kitchen. The vacuum part may also be used in rooms with hardwood and area rugs. I know iRobot makes many versions but I am open to...

Perfect. Thank you! Bob
