Interesting, I was wondering when the regulations for dryers were due to be updated seeming as most other major appliances already have been updated. A positive step overall, although it seems it will realistically spell the death for vented dryers. Whilst outdated in the scheme of things, they...

The best quick cycle was on the Mieles pre-W1. In 30 mins you’d get a wash, 2 rinses with spins and a long spin at max speed. You could add an extra rinse too which made it 37 min. It is annoying that express on the newer machines isn’t as flexible, but then pre-W1 Mieles were much less fussed...

I keep an empty cap in the softener dispenser all the time (with the lid peeled off), and dispense softener into that so it keeps the actual dispenser clean - and it’s much easier to just rinse out the cap more often rather than having to clean the whole drawer. I’ve also used the empty cap to...

Post a quick video Ask and you shall receive :). I have linked below to my YouTube the full cottons 95 cycle where you can see it doing this. Mines a 2021 model V10, 9kg 1600. It is under its 5 year warranty still, but in honesty, I only use the machine maybe two or three times a month as it...

Completely normal for these. My V10 from 2021 does the same, unfortunately with our high water pressure it ends up spraying into the drum and rewetting the laundry after the 1600 spin. The Eco and Turbowash 39 cycles are the only ones that don’t do this. The newer models don’t do this, but I...

They aren’t as complex as I think you think they are. Water softeners are necessary here as our water is much harder, and they really very rarely fail. Plus they eliminate any variability in cleaning that may be due to differing water hardnesses, so why would precision in guaranteeing results be...

Hi Chris, Glad that you’re enjoying the WT1. These had the old 59 minute QuickPowerwash cycle which in my opinion is superior to the newer 49 min version. I never realised the washer dryers do 3 rinses on QPW, all the ones I’ve used have done 2. In fact the very first W1 range only did the 1...

Congratulations Eugene! I hope it gives you many years of enjoyment and service - and look forward to hearing more reports 😊. Jon

Europe take note We don’t need to - we’ve been washing dishes to a high standard economically for many years now. 😊 The Miele dishwashers I’ve had before, and now our Siemens (Bosch) have all washed and dried to an exceptionally high standard using as little water and energy as possible...

P&G non bio brands Ariel has always been mainly biological here (and advertised as such), whereas Fairy is P&G’s non bio brand aimed at those with sensitive skin and/or children. Ariel did have a non bio version for a few years in the early-mid 2000s, which was discontinued by the end of the...

Hi Jacob, Congratulations on the dishwasher! You are looking at around 99/2000 if it has the Universal 65 cycle. The later versions from around 2001 had the Intensive 75 cycle rather than Universal 65, and were sold up until 2005. The dishwasher is very smart, and perform beautifully. I had...

Bio has enzymes, non bio doesn’t. There’s a wide misconception here in the UK that enzymes are bad for skin, so non bio is marketed as sensitive skin detergent. In reality - it is just a load of clever marketing, especially as a lot of non bio is heavily scented. Ironically the only detergent...

LG & Samsung are both launching their equivalents, being showcased at IFA 2023. Both rated 25kg wash and 13kg dry capacity, and seem to have a similar set up to the GE - taller units with I presume a heat pump on top. Hopefully both of these will have heaters unlike the GE. Jon

Hi Matthew, I’ve been fortunate enough to own and use several different W1 models over the years. My first one was the model above the one you are looking at (WKR571), and I’ve also had a WMH122 which is the 9kg version which I sold on to a friend. I have also had a WMV960 previously, and I...

GELaundry4Ever Your latest post is in very poor taste. You simply cannot compare a horrific totalitarian regime to energy efficiency standards which are designed to improve life and the future for all of us and the planet, regardless of what you think of them. They are not there to simply annoy...

Ariel and Bold are P&G’s premium detergent lines here (equivalent to Tide and again respectively) so both should perform very well. Both Ariel and Bold leave a nice smell on washing - and there are matching Lenor softeners and unstoppable scent boosters to match the Bold fragrances. Persil is...

Hi, This is probably the cheapest budget detergent that’s available here with low levels of ingredients, but I would imagine for lightly soiled laundry it would be fine. I haven’t used their washing detergent for years but their washing up liquid, bleach etc has been decent when I’ve used it in...

In a word, no. Most detergents nowadays will clean even soiled laundry at 30° - which they would struggle with even a few years ago. So for cleaning purposes a boil or even a hot wash isn’t needed nowadays, just a decent biological detergent. I do the majority of laundry at 30° nowadays and...
