New vs. old QPW From what I have seen in the new W1 models, if you deselect the Quick option for the QPW program it increases the time to 1 hour 15 mins and the max load goes from 4 kg to 5 kg. I have a WMR861 which has the 59 min QPW, when I select water plus, the time increases to 1 hour 15...

QuickIntenseWash Hi Moon1234, If you select water plus via the app, will it extend the time on the program? I have an older W1 model and if you select water plus, it extends the time to 1 hour 15 minutes. It does do a longer final spin and also adds an interim spin between the rinses. On the...

ECO I ran the ECO program the other day to see whether there was a change in the temperature and there wasn't any. The main wash is still at 55 degrees and the final rinse at 46 degrees. Miele has released a new model in Germany with an A rating for energy. That model has a 43 degree main wash...

Hi Everyone, So just after 6 months of owning my G7919SCi dishwasher, the app sent me a notification of an upgrade. Quite a number of parameters have been upgraded. The main ones are: 1. PowerWash program has been optimised 2. 2nd Interim rinse setting 3. Dosage amount setting optimised Here...

Did the same in my dishwasher If anyone is interested, I did the same in my Miele G7915SCi dishwasher as well. It's in that thread.

Dishwasher temperature profile. Hi Everyone, Following on temperature profile tests on heat pump dryers. I decided to do the same test in my Miele dishwasher. I ran two different programs and this is what I found. Auto 45 -65 C + IntenseZone option. Running time 2 hours 34 minutes. Hot water...

Drying temperature Miele T8929WP Hi everyone, So I did some temperature tests with my Miele heat pump with a load of towels consisting of 2 bath sheets, 2 bath towels, 4 hand towels, and a bath mat. The program was Cottons Extra Dry. Total running time 90 min. These were the temps at 10 min...

Refrigerants Hi everyone, I too have ordered a temperature sensor as I'm curious how hot my T8929WP gets during drying. I looked at the type of refrigerant used in the two dryers in question. The TWF640 uses R290 gas whereas the TCR860 uses R450a. The use of different refrigerants can have an...

Drying times and temperatures I have looked at the past and present Miele heat pump dryers and have found that the new ones indeed take longer to dry than their predecessors: T8929WP - 7 kg - 1600 rpm - 94 min - 1.65kWh - 13.4 min/kg T8861WP - 8 kg - 1600 rpm - 113 min - 1.65kWh - 14.1 min/kg...

Miele TwinPower I have an older Miele T8929WP heat pump dryer and wouldn't change it for anything. It has two motors, one to drive the drum and one to drive the fan. I'm all for efficiency but not to the detriment of performance. My dryer can dry a load of towels in just shy of 90 minutes. What...

Thanks for your detailed information. The cycle times on the US machines are much shorter than their European counterparts.

Bleach dispensing Hi Hippo, Shouldn't the bleach go in compartment 1 on the right-hand side not 2 on the left?

Rebranded Smeg dishwashers Hi everyone, I have been to the Bonferraro factory where Smeg build their dishwashers. They have a mini-museum of some of the brands they built.

This is one thing I don't like about the BSH and AEG machines, the excessively long wash times. Over 2.5 hours is bordering on the ridiculous. I like the Miele because the wash times are not overly long. I normally use the 'short' function most of the time and still achieve excellent results...

PowerDisk amount Hi Kev, It does tell me when it's empty and never had a problem with cleaning. There is a 15-gram reserve chamber, so once that is empty, the dishwasher notifies me.

Cleaning results with PowerDisk Hi Everyone, I'd like to show you how good this dishwasher cleans even the hardest baked-on food. I've been using this machine for quite a few months and its performance has been outstanding. This was a load I did last night with four casserole dishes with...

Rusting baskets Hi Nathan, With the Miele dishwashers I've had, I have never had this experience. I have seen it in machines in certain states such as WA as their water quality is rather bad. Do you use the water softener in your machine? Somat is the leading dishwasher detergent in Germany and...

Somat Duo Power Gel Hi, I have recently tried the new line of Somat dishwasher detergents and I'm especially impressed by the Duo Power gel. I used it in my Miele and it cleaned my baked-on casserole dishes spotlessly clean and that was using the Gentle 45 degree program.
