Hello AW: I’ve done volunteer humanitarian work in Haiti for the last 20 years. One of the places I’ve worked at for the last 5 years is a large hospital. My focus is managing the clinical labs (that’s what I do professionally) but I often get pulled into other projects / issues. Recently...

We have had our Miele G7166 for almost a year now and have been very pleased. Everything comes out flawlessly. I’ve set the default AutoDos dispense amount (in settings) to decreased and everything still comes out looking great. (Especially glasses and flatware.) I’ve been curious about if...

Hello AW: I had a beloved aunt die recently and am helping with her house. She has a gently used Whirlpool Direct Drive washer. I’m not sure of the age (model / serial plate in the pics). I have cleaned it up, checked the drain pump and replaced the drain outlet hose. It’s in great shape...

With help from a Miele technician on another site, I have figured out how to enable Allergy Wash and increase the water level when WaterPlus is selected.  (This is for my Miele W1 (WXD160.)   Be very, very careful when going into Service Programming Mode.  Unless you know exactly what setting...

I was in Vienna on vacation and came across a Miele Centre. One of the items I picked up was a bottle of Miele UltraColor in the Floral Boost scent. I had not tried any of the UltraColor products before and am quite impressed. I am in San Diego and our water hardness is 16-18 gr/gallon. It...

We are staying at an Airbnb cabin in Lake Arrowhead (Southern California). The kitchen has a KitchenAid KUDS23 which is in beautiful shape. I wanted to share some pics. Super nice having a fast dishwasher as we are doing a lot of cooking, eating and drinking this weekend. Bob

I ordered a box of UltraWhite and the only dosing instructions are the attached picture. I have a Miele W1 with an 8 kg capacity. Generally my loads of white / light clothes are 6-8 kg. What dosing guide should I use? Does the box have a scoop inside? (Haven’t opened it yet.). If...

We have really enjoyed our new kitchen and using the new space and appliances over the holidays. The prep area / bar dishwasher is a Fisher Paykel single drawer unit with a custom front panel. We really like it a great deal and it is a nice pair to go with the Miele. (Definitely not as...

Have run quite a few loads with a variety of cycles in the Miele over the holidays. The detergent in the PowerDisk is pretty amazing. It’s especially good on Pots but everything really gleams. From the manual, it decreases the dose on the Crystal cycle, increases it on Pots / Pans and can...

I have a Kenmore Elite 800 canister vacuum which I really like. However, the foam on the seal of the port the hose connects into has gotten worn out and loose. As such, because of the leaky seal some of the dirt bypasses the bag and into the first filter. What is that foam called? It...

I was able to run our new Miele G7166 dishwasher a few times this weekend with houseguests and cooking. This is my first Miele dishwasher and I’m as impressed as I am with our Miele washer and dryer. Aside from setting the machine with the local water hardness, the only setting I’ve changed...

As we progress with our kitchen remodel, we’ve been doing much needed cleaning and organizing throughout the house. I was washing some wool items and selected Woolen / Silks on the dryer. Cycle time was only 5 minutes and not adjustable. I checked in the App and it was the same (pic attached)...

I found this site which has PDFs of old corporate food marketing recipe books. Super interesting and might make for some fun holiday cooking. Enjoy! Bob https://www.beatriceco.com/history/historical_recipes/

Hi Everyone Anyone have recommendations for a Roomba (or equivalent) model which will vacuum and mop? This will primarily be used on ceramic tile in our new kitchen. The vacuum part may also be used in rooms with hardwood and area rugs. I know iRobot makes many versions but I am open to...

We are getting closer to when they are ripping everything for our kitchen remodel. In the new space,I’ll be getting a Miele dishwasher and in the prep area / bar a single FP DishDrawer. In the garage, I have my trusty and beloved KitchenAid KUDS22 which is in great shape. Being removed from...

My love affair with our Miele set has continued and I wanted to provide an update. 1. Read the manuals. I always do that with any product I get. But, I’ve found with these they give you important tips about how they work and getting best performance. 2. The wash temperatures are pretty...

Hello Everyone: It’s fun shopping for the various items for our kitchen remodel. While our new refrigerator will have an ice maker, we will not have a water dispenser. I’m getting an under sink filter unit and will have a tap at the sink. Any recommendations for an under sink filter unit...

For the Miele G7000 series dishwashers, is it an optical soul sensor? Any idea as to where it’s located? Also, do they sense soil / adjust in all cycles or just the Normal cycle? The manual as vague and implies it’s in all cycles except Rinse Only. Thanks Bob

Have any Miele owners seen a difference in performance with Miele Rinse Aid versus other products like Finish or Cascade rinse aid? Unlike detergents I can’t see rinse aid brand making a big performance difference. Bob

Hello Everyone: So, we are in the process of a kitchen remodel. We have an ISE Evolution Excel disposer which I’ve been extremely happy with. We only use it, on average, 3-4 times a week. It’s not seen heavy use. Should I keep it and use it with the new sink or just replace it? I...
