@stephen Your observations on how quick intense wash works are only valid for the previous w1 versions (WWH860 is what I have). For the "New" W1 models in the USA the time is NOT extended to 59 minutes when 60C (140F) is selected. The time remains 49 minutes no matter what temp is selected or...

Water Plus on the WXI860 does nothing on my washer other than increase the amount of water added during the main wash. I have max water level selected for all rinses so I am not sure if water plus affects the rinse water level. Allergy option is the only way to extend the main wash. It also...

I have both the WWH860 and the WXI860. No prewash error on either machine. One change on the WXI860 that I do not like is with quickintense wash. The final spin is terrible. The machine will spend three to five minutes rotating before attempting the final spin. With two minutes remaining it...

Water Plus is somewhat different depending on the model. I have the WWH860 AND the WXI860. Water plus is enabled ALL THE TIME on the WWH860. If it is left at the “normal” setting in the expanded programming menu then no extra water is added to any cycle. If you set water plus to one, two or...

Hottest temp would be with extra dry setting. As laundry becomes moisture free the heat has no liquid to absorb and so the clothing would get hotter. These machines I don’t believe can get that hot. The condenser would be themoregulated to prevent it from getting too warm. The compressor...

All Miele Professional washers offer warm water rinse. The eco Nazis have taken away that option for most “residential” washing machines.

As for refilling the factory TwinDos cartridges with your own detergent or oxygen bleach (no chlorine bleach allowed) here are some pictures. Make sense?

In our house we do pillows every 6 months or try to anyway. The dryer has a pillows cycle. It defaults to a timed dry of 1.5 hours per run and does significantly more reverse tumbles than the other cycles. This helps redistribute the down/feathers so they dry better. It usually takes three...

I’ll put a vote in for Miele W1/T1 series. We do laundry for 14 people. Have 7900 hours on the washer and close to 4500 on the dryer. Going strong. The lack of an onboard heater in any Speed Queen would be a deal breaker for our family. They require hot water gymnastics and keeping hot...

The proper terminology for the parts would be helpful when talking to the tradesmen. The cord assembly that connects to the dryer is a whip. The round outlet on the wall is a receptacle and the part with the burned pins is a plug. So the full whip with the plug and the receptacle should be...

I own the WWH860, previous model, but here are a few comments: 1. The 4.0 version of the app is very poor. The previous 3.8 version was better and more usable. Hopefully Miele gets this fixed. If you have an android phone you should be able to find an apk via google to install the previous...

It depends on what your needs would be. - Do you do dishes for 2-4 people or more? Do you eat two to three meals per day with everyone? How many loads do you do? Is it 3 per week or 3 per day. The “I like brand xxx and it has lasted us 20 years” tells you very little. How often an...

Always thought the CAPs were expensive. We buy the wool and downs in the bottles. 2L for wool and the 8oz for the downs. We have a lot more wool items than down (which is usually just bedding and some coats.)

I agree on not destroying their brand. It won’t take too many complaints from a low quality entry to the market to destroy their reputation. It would be similar to bmw introducing a mode to compete with Kia. The cost of a new bmw usually comes with very high expectations for purchasers...

GlaronK is NOT carbon fiber. It is fiberglass reinforced plastic. Miele touted it on the W48xx series as an insulator. Meaning that there was less re-heating of wash solution and quicker initial heating due to the plastic not acting as a heat sink like a stainless outer drum normally would...

Budget? Miele makes a cheaper heat pump dryer in their lineup. Most energy efficient, but it is still on the top end of cost and is a 24" cabinet.

Miele Are they more durable/longer lasting than Kitchen-Aid and Maytag? ------------------------------------------ Generally yes. Miele is usually the least repaired of any dishwasher. They are not without any problems, but generally have the least amount of repair call outs of any...

This is from my experience. Miele is the only washer your friend should be considering. Speed Queen is fine, but no onboard heater, no true cycles for things like Wool and Silk (Which the Miele has). I wash 10+ wool sweaters each winter. I wash all of my dress shirts using the dress shirts...

@ UncleDave Yes, this was discovered and posted about in a newer thread. Miele designed the US machines so the empty twindos bottles will not fit in the USA machines. This is why the new design TwinDos bottles have an indent on the end that is inserted into the washer. I have since switched...
