I've had this machine w/ matching T9802 dryer for three years. Let me share some observations... You can absolutely use liquid detergent, but reduce the quantities and wash at lower temps to reduce sudsing... W4842 utilizes Miele's patented SpinClean technology which accelerates the drum...

It's too bad people are modifying their machines to perform as advertised, thereby letting the manufacturer off the hook. I believe the person who made this video was also still within his warranty period. Instead of modifying his machine to take more water, he should have returned it and given...

Again, there is no way you can fit 8 kg of laundry into this small 2.4 IEC capacity regardless of what the manufacturer says - it's a pipe dream. It's physically impossible unless you are wrapping bricks in your laundry. The standard rule of thumb is 1 kg laundry capacity per 10 liters of drum...

I hate to burst anyone's bubble, but the W6884ECO is only a 2.44 cuft IEC capacity. There is absolutely no way this is an 8kg machine. 5-6 kg yes, but not 8.

This is essentially an Asko W6761. You can customize almost every single wash parameter with that machine. I had sold mine when I got my large Miele W4842. I still miss my Asko's amazing programming flexibility, but the Miele cleans as well or better.

I think some people are confusing the hidden program menu with the ability to buy additional programs from Miele. These are two separate things. Miele field techs can access the hidden program menu either by key combination code from the machine's panel or via the PC Update connection. Once in...

Miele does not make program updates available for the NA market. The W4842, successor to the W4840, added a couple of new cycles yet W4840 owners were told by Miele that those new cycles would NOT be made available to previous generation model owners. Miele advertises PC Update and buying...

That v-Zug is the ugliest washing machine I've seen in a long time. Is that interior photo above from the same machine? What a mess compared to the nice, clean interior layout of a Miele. Also, the plastic/fiberglass tub appears to be split down the middle, I wonder how long before that seam...

The supertronic 5000 has the same capacity as the W4842 - 8 kg. Not true that it has a larger capacity. The plastic paddles another member saw were from the Miele dryer, NOT from the washer. The tub has springs on top and shock absorbers underneath (not shown in the video you cited). The W3033...

The W4842 comes out of Miele's commercial washer plant in the Czech Republic. It's the same assembly line that produces $10,000 machines. Some equate the W4842's fiberglass outer drum with "lower quality", however it is a much better heat insulator than stainless steel which is why you will find...

I don't understand why you are comparing the W3033 (small capacity) to the super large Electrolux? Why not instead compare the Miele W4842, which is much larger? I think that is a far better machine than anything made by Electrolux, plus it has a 4.0 cuft capacity. Both the W4842 and W3033 are...

There is NO ban on garbage disposals in New York City! You people are silly... it is the apartment buildings themselves that ban disposals in their units due to the fact that the pipes in the building have too much built-up scaling and residue. They would clog if residents were grinding their...

@ zanussi_lover It sounds like you've already made up your mind that you want to use these things, so I don't understand why you are asking for opinions here. Nobody seems to think it's a good idea. Common sense will tell you that it's not a good idea. It simply isn't rational to believe that...

What is the purpose of this toy if you already have a kitchen? Are parents so unwilling to spend time with their own children that they can't invite their children into the kitchen to assist with meal preparation? You don't need a toy kitchen - use the real one! Give your kids the attention they...

You've got to be a nut to actually use these "nuts". Skip the nuts and wash in plain water - the results will be the same. If you want clean clothes, you need detergent, Skip all these ecological "miracle" products that promise the moon and the stars and beyond... please!

Fresh Start

I have a W4842 and the embossed labels on the fabric softener flap DO NOT look like the photo in the auction. The auction item shows symbols while mine has words. Either Miele changed something recently or this is not the drawer for the W4842.

What? Nobody commented on the ghetto production values? They couldn't even put the white backdrop far enough behind the subject to avoid shadowing? The audio levels aren't even properly adjusted. What a horrible video. I would be embarrassed to upload such a piece of crap.

I don't know about the FS, but Martha Stewart's laundry detergent was the lowest rated by Consumer Reports. They said using Martha Stewart is no better than washing in plain water. Ditch the product.

Today's detergents can't even remove simple oil based stains from dark cotton fabrics without leaving a dark splotch. I have soft water, so the addition of STPP seems useless for me. I remember years ago my mom used to get everything clean with Fresh Start powder - and without pre-treating...
