I am very confused by the larger drum model. I understand, thanks to henene4, why it is necessary for a better efficiency rating. However, the lack of 1600rpm spinning and increased residual moisture are in direct contradiction to its supposed eco mission. I looked up the labels on the Swiss...

GELaundry4ever, I have not used Tide Hygienic Clean 10X so I cannot personally evaluate its real-world performance, although I have read good reviews of its stain removal. However, it is a very deceptively named product. Neither the liquid nor packs contain any bleaching or sanitizing agents as...

Miele are also currently falsely advertising 7 enzymes in UltraColor Powder detergent on their US website: https://www.mieleusa.com/e/ultracolor-powder-detergent-4-lb-wa-uc-1803-p-10459790-p It only has two enzymes, the same compliment as the US version of UltraWhite. UltraColor Ingredients...

Miele finally published the list of ingredients in their UltraWhite powder detergent that is sold in the USA as they are required to do by the California Cleaning Products Right to Know Act. Disappointingly the USA formulation is very different than the formula sold under the same name in...

Today I noticed that the manual posted online for the US Little Giant washing machine was updated to a new version which I assume corresponds to new software updates. Key changes include: - Whites is now listed with 1500 rpm max spin instead of 1600 rpm. - Colored Items Sensitive is a newly...

I have installed the update. Prewash still works just fine. I didn't notice any distinct changes to programs or options. I was playing with the Wash Assistant and there seems to be more informational messages and perhaps different cycle suggestions, however I didn't write down any of the results...

Miele professional service confirmed to me that there was a running change to the current model Little Giant washer that added 1600 rpm and 9kg (20lb) capacity in the Cottons Plus cycle after the US introduction. It is retrofittable via software and the new machines are shipping so equipped. It...

littlegreeny, I believe that what you’re seeing is the machine topping up the water level to the target reading after the clothes have absorbed some water. In the Table Linen / Drapes it’s about a 50/50 addition of the water and irrespective of the absorptivity of what I’m washing. On my...

Very interesting to hear your comparison of the wash times and the efficiency of the heat pump versus PowerWash, henene4. It certainly is nice to be able to get PowerWash efficiency with a little more water in the main wash as well. The turbidity sensor sounds like a very nice way to ensure...

Launderess, my modern Miele WXR 860 still does the procedure of draining partially, adding some cold water, and repeating until the wash is cooler. It then proceeds to the normal rinsing procedure. I have only observed the behavior on the Delicates (synthetics) cycle at 60C but it may be present...

As you learn more about the machines I will be interested to hear your impressions of differences in washing behavior from Miele. Are cycles generally shorter or longer, do they use more or less water, how does the agitation differ? Solely from reading manuals my impression of Swiss machines has...

Your laundry room looks great! I love the layout with the machines side-by-side and the couch facing them for comfortable observation.

Congratulations henene4!! That is a gorgeous washer and dryer set! I have long been fascinated with the heat pump washing machine concept. I was not aware of the water balancing system. That sounds like a great innovation. I am frequently frustrated with the Miele's repeated attempts at...

Hello bobbins, for the special customizable programs the spin limit is 1400 rpm. However, on page 33 of the manual you linked it shows Whites and Cottons Plus with 1600 rpm and Cottons Plus having a 20lb capacity. I wonder if the 1600 rpm and 20lb capacity features were either added or removed...

Thank you very much for your response, Launderess. I do see that 18lb and 1500 RPM is listed in that brochure for the PWM 908. For that same model number, however, Miele USA’s product page lists 1600 RPM and 20lb capacity...

Hello bobbins and thank you very much for your response. Very glad to hear you're enjoying your beautiful Little Giant machines so much! Unfortunately I wasn't able to find the spin speed reduction in the Supervisor Mode on the touchscreen model. Maybe there is another level of menu I wasn't...

Thank you very much for your response, henene4. The cycle packages was the first thing I thought of. You can easily view all the cycle packages and cycles and whether or not they’re active in Supervisor Mode which I checked. Cottons Plus was not in the list of cycles to activate/deactivate. I...

I'm considering adding the Miele Little Giant washer and dryer to my stable of laundry machines. I already have the Miele WXR 860 washer which does many things wonderfully but isn't as fast or configurable as the Little Giant and they would compliment each other nicely. I visited the local...

henene4, I always enjoy reading your posts and learning from your expertise, thank you very much for your detailed post. Your feelings on your Miele set are very similar to my feelings on my WXR 860 washing machine. While I would recommend it for just about anybody there are a surprising number...

littlegreeny, thank you very much for your response. Have you run a cycle with prewash enabled since the update? I haven't had the widely discussed prewash water inlet error issues with my WXR 860 and want to be sure that this update won't start causing them as I use prewash regularly.
