Looking at what caused the tariff would be helpful. Korean companies were dumping product that was below the cost of production. This is unfair to domestic producers. When governments artificially support products by keeping cost of production artificially low, that gives an unfair advantage...

Think about all the people that use too much detergent. How many times do we read about people with smelly front loaders? They do cold water washes with too much detergent and then a few months later they wind up with a smelly, moldy washer? Hot washes and proper dispensing will fix those...

@washingpowder The refillable bottles are not much sturdier than the UltraPhase 1/2 bottles. The only real difference is the hole on the top of the cartridge with a cap on the refillable cartridge. As I said before using a funnel is not really any harder than using the refillable bottle with...

As for reviews on the W1/T1 in the USA here are some from sites that people here would use to evaluate what to buy: https://blog.designerappliances.com/miele-w1-washer-t1-dryer-review/ https://blog.yaleappliance.com/bid/85457/bosch-vs-miele-compact-laundry-reviews-ratings...

@henene4 It is physically not possible to insert the refillable cartridge in the USA models. They will not fully insert. If you notice the newly designed TwinDos cartridges have indented plastic on the end that is inserted into the washer. This is to allow the cartridge to fully seat in USA...

Our family owns both the w1 and T1 in the USA. Top models on both washer and dryer. The dryer finishes full loads that were spun at 1600RPM In 50-70 minutes. Smaller loads are done quicker. I have never had a dryer cycle take two hours ever in the T1. You can run both the washer and dryer...

I also want to clarify by stating that I did not say they shouldn’t advertise to any segment of the population, only that doing so may upset a portion of their portential customers enough that they choose not to shop there. We can’t force people to shop anywhere (yet anyway). Most stores...

I’m sorry if I offended anyone. It wasn’t my intent. I was simply saying that the way JC Penny marketed themselves had an effect on their sales. That pushed sales down, the stock fell and they have never recovered. Some stores just can’t get people through the door if they market to a way...

I don't see why my post was removed? I mentioned that JC Penny went downhill due to their homosexual ads on Mother's Day and Father's day in 2012. Many newspapers said this was the exact reason Ron Johnson was sacked. He refused to acknowledge that this is what caused a 50% drop on their...

Have never seen Penny's as anything except a clothing retailer. They used to sell "nicer" things. Now it is mostly trash. Once in a great while my wife or daughter will find a nice dress, but the mens department has been poor for a LONG time. Macy's and Nordstrom's are "ok" if I need...

Little Giant is smaller than W1 capacity wise, cost and we plan to build a house this year. We run a commercial farm so can purchase the larger octopus models without issue. The w1 was always intended as an interim solution, but we really like them. The TwinDos option is now the only way we...

Just call Miele directly in Princeton, NJ and ask to speak to sales. They will sell directly to you on any little giant model. They usually discount some to offset the cost of shipping. If they don’t then ask for a discount. Worst they can say is no.

Our family of thirteen, soon to be fourteen, people would love to have the step up from the Little Giants (PW6080 or PW5105 for washer and PT7186 for dryer), but Miele refuses to sell them in a residential setting. There are ways around this, but for the average person it is not doable. We...

The USA is Miele's LARGEST market outside of Germany. It's not like the USA is a minor market for Miele. The Little Giants are "Semi-Pro" models. The true professional models are designed for 30,000 hours of use and for a commercial only setting. The little giants were always designed for...

@sgt10 The threat that is most talked about is the machine being used to host malicious code. Not that someone is looking to steal your personal secrets, but rather you machine being used to launch attacks against others. If you have heard of denial of service attacks, basically millions of...

Is there a PDF somewhere or some place we can "read more about it"?

I would not be worried in the least. I am a network engineer by trade and have been for over 20 years. I work for a company that has offices around the world and has thousands of devices online. There is virtually zero at risk from connecting a Miele washer to the internet via your wireless...

Yes, I posted about this a while back. All of the options work properly when using the app. This seems to either be a bug or a deliberate choice. My guess is this is a bug. I have noticed the the heavy soiling button does not add a specific prewash, but it does extend the initial wash and...

It’s just a float switch in the bottom of the washer pan. If there is any water in the pan the float switch will trip. Either wait for it to evaporate or tip on side to drain the water and then wait a day. There usually isn’t enough water in the washer for this to happen. What is the exact...

washer88 Electrolux is a decent brand in the USA. Their top end models has good feature and clean well. They at the top of the pack for build quality with probably only speed Queen and Miele beating them out. What you read about Miele unthread is not true. We bought parts for our w4840...
