    What do you guys think of this washer?

    All the new Samsung front loaders I've seen have braille. I suggest you pay a little more and get one that has a built in heater. Ones with a heater are going to clean better and give you nice hot washes which will keep the washer cleaner in the long run.

    Miele WXR 860 WCS Update

    I have not run the prewash but I did enable the chlorine bleach function to see if that got fixed and it didn't. I was all excited because it added more water about 10 before the wash period ended but not in the bleach/prewash cup. It flushed the main detergent compartment.

    Installed a few days ago... And I haven't noticed any changes.

    Vintage Osterizer Deluxe Hi Lo 1950s Chrome Beehive Blender 403

    I bought one on ebay and it arrived with a big chip in the bottom of the glass jar. Does anyone know where I can get a new jar that fits? I'm heartbroken because it's such a beauty.

    Ariel, with Purezyme

    Very Interesting Discussion! My t-shirts have permastink from years of being washed at dumbed-down low temps in my previous lousy Frigidaire washer. I've been washing them at high temps in the new Miele and the smell is slowly disappearing. The Novozymes Pristine sounds amazing but it looks...

    STPP Quality?

    Thanks everyone for the comments. Sounds like I should probably just toss what I have left.

    STPP Quality?

    I purchased 2 pounds of STPP from the Dafna Store on ebay 6 years ago. I still have most of it left because it never dissolved the few times I tried it. I thought I'd try it again today and I noticed residue left over in the dispenser so I grabbed a glass of water and added about 1.5 Tbsp and...

    Miele USA W1's Water Inlet Error After Prewash

    Quick Intense Wash I have to say I am very disappointed in the quick intense wash on my new WXR-860. Rinsing is poor because of the nearly non-existent interim spins and the load is left very wet because of the extremely short final spin. I also wish there was a way to opt to have proper...

    Which Miele W1?

    Thanks everyone! I appreciate everyone's responses and your suggestions. I've been experimenting with the cycles myself and am still deciding whether I like the baby clothes or extra white cycle better for my sheets. I have very oily skin and my sheets are dark gray so they show the oil and...

    Which Miele W1?

    I ran a huge load of towels tonight on the normal cycle, 140F, 1600 spin with extra rinse and it had absolutely zero issues balancing or spinning and the towels turned out great. It took about twice as long but I had properly washed, rinsed and spun towels. And even with the normal cycle, the...

    Which Miele W1?

    Thanks Hippo and Launderess! The default imbalance sensor settings are tacho + EZU which I think I'll just leave alone. I do feel like it's programmed to be more sensitive to OOB issues on certain cycles like towels. Speaking of which, the manual says to use that cycle "for linen or cotton...

    Which Miele W1?

    Thanks Henrik and Jerrod! I'll need to go back into the service menu. I believe mine had two things selected under the balance sensor. It does seem to be very sensitive to OOB loads. I'm not going to use the towels cycle any longer for precisely the reason you mention Jerrod, the interim spins...

    Which Miele W1?

    Thanks Launderess and Henrik! I ran another but smaller load of towels with the same settings and watched the cycle. It managed to do all the interim spins but they were really short and slow. I haven't figured out the RPMs yet but I'm guessing the interim spins were only 600-800 and lasted...

    Which Miele W1?

    Intermediate Spins? One thing I've noticed with my new washer is it seems to have a bit of a hard time balancing mixed loads of towels and low pile bath mats (more of a towel really but texture and density is different than the towels). Anyways, I was washing them on the towels cycle, 120F with...

    Which Miele W1?

    Thanks Ralph! I updated the app and now the appliance status is showing. I'm also seeing an actual twindos level which is nice. If I change the units from C to F, it will show the temp as 284F instead of 140F. I'm going to change the washer to display the temp as C instead of F and see if the...

    Which Miele W1?

    Miele App Question Has anyone downloaded version 4.2.0 of the app for iPhone? Did anyone have any issues? My current app is version 4.1.1 and the buggy things I see are the washer status always says the washer is in the main wash and the temperature is displaying the wrong units (i.e. when temp...

    LG Front Loader Whining/Squeaks

    Mark, The chemicals they put in their products are similar to all the other mainstream manufacturers. I'd argue P&G is one of the better ones as they were among the first to put ingredient labels on their laundry products. What do you use instead?
