Look what MieleUSA has got to replace the short lived W48XX series.
Ahhh! Something New Has Been Added!
- Thread starter launderess
- Start date
Help Support :
This is a semi pro machine. It was on the web page even in the times of the w48xx times, I think...
Its nearly identical to my
PW6065 the only difference I can see is it has an off switch mine lives in standby when finished with and goes dark with just the start button slowly flashing.
If its as reliable as the commercial version then its worth every penny.

I hope mine outlive me, but it's nice to know there is still a 230 volt Miele available here.
Yes it's a great machine but for that kind of money---
That machine is in need of just four more cycles--
1) Drying- with variable temperatures of course to meet all fabric needs
2) Garment folding- should be self explanatory (hey, we can dream...so why not)
3) Laundry collector- the machine collects the laundry from around the house
4) Laundry return- puts the clothes back where they came from all nice and clean!!
Let's be real here...If you're going to spend that kind of money for a machine...wouldn't you expect it to do everything for you...it's not too much to ask for.
LOL

Could any of our European friends tell us how expensive this is in its home market? Just curious. Though if I were in the market for a new machine it would be tempting....

Cannot ever recall seeing Miele's "Little Giants" on offer from a NYC much less anywhere else consumer website. Yes, the units have been around for ages, but do not think they were offered on AJMadison or elsewhere.
When one spoke with Miele earlier this year about what the plans were after the demise of 4XXX series, was told they were going to offer the "Little Giants".
MieleUSA also has rolled out the w3037 to replace the w3033, but didn't look at the differences.

Looks nice but...
This is my next dream: http://mieleprofessional.ca/ca/prof/products/33_31517.htm
I guess I should start saving my pennies now.

Starting from 4 000 USD and up - depending on where you look.

Around £3,200 here, great washers, although its the only Miele washer I remember having a recall notice, the first series had an issue with steamy hot foamy water spewing out of the soap dispenser on a boil wash if sudzlocked on the first spin!!, it was soon remedied with the update facility!!

That update applied to some residential units as well...
Thanks
Wow, I thought maybe we were being ripped off, but we're actually getting a good deal. Although Euro prices would include VAT and we'd have to add sales tax. Or can you get around that by ordering from AJ. Madison?

Well, see them online here for about 2400€, same the vented dryer matching. The condensor is about 300€ more, the WP version starts at 3200€ I think.
The stachs are nice, but coast 12000€ IIRC, for that, get 2 octoPlus modells seperate and youre about 2000€ cheaper, I think...

Mike, I am amazed at the technological advances between my W1918 and the W1986 next to it and that this model would need a modification once it got into the field. The 1986 has some sort of variable speed motor control so that it accelerates slowly enough to deal (95% of the time) with suds in the first spin after the wash. The only thing it ever had trouble with was the bath sheets making too much foam, but most of the time, it will come up to spin slowly enough to get rid of a large portion of the wash water in the load before it speeds up to where it would cause foaming. The 1918 has short bursts of acceleration after the early rinses followed by long drain periods to get rid of any foam. As the rinses progress, it can do more spinning, but it does not gradually accelerate like the 1986. Each spin starts with a short burst of speed and then the drain. Funny that the model under discussion had these problems, but you can see that putting that large a drum in a 24 inch wide cabinet would take extra engineering. My Mieles have always drained the dispenser compartment at the front and the rear of the compartment is some sort of vent or belch chamber for the drain because funny noises come from back there during pump operation.
My Creda is still working, but I only use it for one or at most two loads a week, usually for the perma-press dress shirts on the "C" program with slow spin selected. I hit the Super Wash button after the wash water drains to get deeper rinsing. While it is built lighter than the Mieles, it still performs well.

Though one fought the good fight against "modern" computer controlled units, the Lavamat is vastly better than my Miele 1070 in many ways.
First and foremost it accelerates spinning slowly and if it detects excess froth or water things will slow down or even stop. Then pump will keep working whilst machine drum goes to and fro then starts up slowly spinning again. For towels and any other load that is very absorbent this is a god send. On the Miele it simply slows down spinning and keeps the pump going. However if the spin cycle times out that is all she wrote, laundry is going to be rinsed with that soapy water still in the tub and sump.
The manual for "Big Bertha" suggests that for heavy loads such as towels the machine should be slightly under loaded, you now know why.

You Can Find Used Miele "Little Giants" on CL
Have posted listings before and Florida seems to be prime hunting territory. Many those units seem to come from yachts or ships which given the money found in South Florida makes sense.
Problem with Little Giant washers and dryers is their unusual for the USA power requirements. Did not look at the unit listed on AJMadison to see if things have changed.

Nope, they are dryer like connection I think, haveing a heater of 6kw I think,enabling the heaven of 195° washes. Ones washed whites on that you will never like to miss it again. *ahhhh, what a dream of the smell of a boil wash*

6kW boil heaters in a country where electric costs 3x what it does here? Quite the extravagance. Try this:
Wash half your bedding in the 6kW heater, fold and set aside. Wash the other half as follows. Half fill the washer with tap hot (120F). Add detergent and 6 drops food-grade iodine (Lugol's), stir. Add bedding and complete fill and cycle. Fold and compare smells. Iodine kills EVERYthing, and does not attack fabric like sodium hypochlorite does. Substantially cheaper than boiling at 35c/kWh.

The heater is more about getting water hot fast. Miele's Little Giants have cycle times like Speed Queens and consumers in this country expect the water be warm or hot (not necessarily boiling) throughout the wash. Even with hot fill, which these units have, a powerful heater is better than a weak one.
I have used commercial front load washers that lacked proper heating in the past and - even with hot water going in - the actual wash was only warm.
