Hi Combo. Most people will lose ALL the money they spend on life insurance. Most people will lose more than half the money they spend on home and auto insurance. I don’t think it’s fair to tell people that buy extended warranties that they are wasting money. There is a value in extended...

I would vote for Miele if you can afford it. Bosch after that. We have had a few Bosch and an LG over the last 15 years. Next will be Miele. Bosch fit Corelle very well. That’s what we have for discuss. No stonewear or whatnot. Like others said, take dishes with you to the store and try...

Better is a loaded term. I would take a Miele anything over an LG, Maytag or Whirlpool. It would most likely not fall in your price range nor in your size requirement. We love ours and probably do more laundry than most (13 people in the house). We shove queen size sheets, comforter, etc in...

@marky_mark I think you may be right in that a lot of it is coming from cleaning the two lint filters and folding the clothes right away in the same room. I usually fold the laundry as soon as it is dry on top of the washer and dryer (they are side by side) and then clean the lint filter and...

We have been using a condenser dryer for the last few months since our Vented Miele dryer died. This is a circa 2013 model year Siemens condenser dryer. We had initially planned to buy a new Miele Professional vented dryer (PT7186), but we decided to put that on hold until we get a house...

I just recently priced out 9kg machines or close to it. Miele was the CHEAPEST compared to Electrolux (Wascomat) or Speed Queen. I think the difference is Miele sells direct on most of their commercial units. Call Princeton and ask to speak to sales. Don't go through a dealer. They will...

I think a lot of people forget it was common to boil clothes before automatic washers. Many of our grandparents didn’t live to the same age we do now. Diseases such as typhus, TB even influenza were death sentences. Pasteurization (again heat) ended most sickness due to milk contamination...

I am going to disagree with the above. We sanitize all of our towels. Towels and underwear are the two types of laundry that are most likely to be contaminated with fecal matter. There have been LOTS of studies that show that unless you use bleach the only effective way to eliminate ecoli and...

Thought I would provide an update on how we are getting on with the W1. I figured out how to get into the service menu. It is open the door with machine off. Turn dial to normal (cottons). Wait for machine to turn on. Hold finger on start/stop button while shutting the door. Continue...

The bottles showed up today. Took 3.5 weeks to get here, but glad they are here. For those that would like to have them in the USA, I bought mine from Knaub Trading in Germany. Cheapest place I could find them and shipping was a flat rate. Here are the links to the bottles in case someone...

Thanks henene4, I live in a house with 8 females. The current laundry room has no less than 8 different kinds of laundry detergent. It is why I wanted the TwinDos. They like to change the "scent" from time to time. I was hoping to eventually run all of the bottles we have now through the...

Now that we have the W1 setup and running. I found a seller in Germany that will ship me the empty bottles to use our own detergent. Would having more than one bottle for phase 1 make sense? i.e. one for detergent and one for water to use during the maintenance cycle when switching...

@roscoe62 We have been a Miele household for quite some time. While they only offer 24" (smaller) washers in the USA now outside of their Professional (commercial) line, I think you would be very happy with one depending on your family size. Ours have been reliable. The only downside...

@foraloysius Keep in mind the washer runs around 10-12 hours PER DAY. We understand that the w1 was not designed for this much use, but American machines would be dead in short order. We plan to build a house this coming year. The w1 will move upstairs for the girls one off things. We will...

It Works Fine The Miele app works fine. I had zero problems setting it up. I used the iPhone app. There are TWO ways you can set it up. The first is WPS. You push the WPS button on your wifi router (if it has support for WPS) and then on the washer you select WPS option and ok. After that...

I am the OP and I thought I would follow-up on what we purchased. We bought the WWH860 W1 top of the line. I know it is small, but we just could not bring ourselves to buy the Electrolux. So far we have 11 loads through it in the last few days. It cleans really well. I would almost say it...

My wife and I spoke and she said it is done with it’s life and she doesn’t want to put any more money in it. The drain pump periodically will give a drain fault during a cycle. The machine will hum as if the drain pump is on, but the impeller is not spinning. If you notice this and lift the...

I asked about this and the rep told me that Miele does not quote service contracts on their professional line. Maybe this rep is misinformed. I am used to just buying them online after I buy the equipment, but this rep stated they don't sell them? Maybe I am just not big enough or the cost is...

The washers would primarily be used for our family farm, which they all participate in except the little ones. We run a rather larger produce farm and generate a lot of dirty laundry. I think trying to deduct a portion of them on taxes would be a red flag for the IRS and might trigger a tax...

We have a Miele W4840 and T9800 27" washer/dryer pair that have both died after about 10 years of heavy service. The washer had 15,800 hours on it and I am pretty sure a strut is gone as the drum is bouncing all over the place and I am pretty sure it is hitting the sides when it tries to spin...
