Red through their press releases and found this after some searching, a spiritual succesor to the Touchtronic: WCR 890/870/860.

Going to A+++ -50% in under 3h with a new iteration of PowerWash 2.0.

I'll keep searching their databases for all the other new stuff.

Dryers

The lower end, 1 line display dryers matching the already released updated washers are the TCJ690/680 (which appear to have gained a bedding cycle) and simmilar numbers (searching for 0WP and just checking which letter combinations seem familiar and which not works):

It actually appears that a lot of new dryer models will appear, all featuring bedding cycles.
Can't find a touch display dryer though.

The new TOL will be the WWV980 "Passion":

(For washers I search for PWash or TDos and do the same comparing).

Further there is an updated SpeedCare range including a SpeedCare dryer.
 
AEG

Will be launching automatic dosing in their FL washers from 8000 series all the way down to the 6000 series, but not the 9000 series, leading me to belive it's a simmilar setup to BSH iDos.

Their 9000 series dryer will get more showing off. It uses a "moisture scanner" what ever that means (perhaps thermal imaging or air humidity sensor?).

Their TOL ComfortLift DW will get a new user interface using some sort of slider.

Their hoobs will get SenseFry (sensor guided frying).

And their fridges get redone.
 
QuickPowerWash

The new W1 updated models have gone back to one rinse in the QuickPowerWash with no water plus option. That's a shame. I have a WMR861WPS which does two rinses in QPW.
 
The new touchscreen Miele W1's look promising, I wonder if they'll have a colour display like on their ovens and that it'll be larger as well. The only drawbacks of the current flagship model is that the screen is a bit small and also they haven't been adventurous enough with it. :).
 
That's better Miele, those touchscreen W1's look way better than before, I wonder what that clock thing at the top of the machine is for? :)
 
Wish they had brought back

the orange button to open the door.
Not a fan of having to push start/stop to get it to unlock.

I am guessing the clock on top is to show how long the quickpower wash cycle is. If the touch screen wasn't so minuscule then....

Passion? Ecstasy, Delight, Rapture and Orgasm too much?
 
Not a fan of Miele's current direction, why couldn't they just keep the classic-looking machines in production? I believe the classic design is still around in the form of the Little Giant series...
 
I browsed Google Patents. What I read about was an updated cup rest, auto-dispensing of a pourable detergent (powder, liquid?) and hot-air drying. These were the latest entries.

I am still undecided. A train ticket would be around a 100 Euros, going by car a little more. Plus it takes so long to get there: last time I drove ten hours in one day.
 
For me and my +1 it would be 60€ one way (try the Sparpreisfinder) and we would tag on a day or 2 in Berlin.
Hotel would be something like 100€ a night.

The exact time and number of days depends on wheather I have to return to Emden before heading to Berlin and how much time my company has.
I have a phonecall with some people monday to sort things out and then we'll see...
 
Well, I'll have to work - so the weekend is the only possible date.

Yeah, I have seen the train tickets starting at 99 Euros. Still, it's kinda a lot of money to see a appliances. I wish Miele had a showroom somewhere close(r) by... but they have even closed the Friedberg location.
 
I like the look of the racks.

But I don't really like the AutoDos implementation, presuming that there is no empty powder cartridge avaible.

Edit: Took me a second to realize they eliminated one of their best DW features, the salt container in the door.
No combination product will ever work as well as a water softner.
 
Will Aldi stores sell a generic version of this dosing disk in the near future or will this disk soon turn out to be the next Betamax of automatic detergent dosing ?

Seriously, I don`t like the route Miele took with Capdosing and now with this "thing" at all. TwinDos at least can be altered with products of your own choice.
 
Normal 60C

It appears through Mieles press material that they not only changed the entire wash system but the cycles accordingly as well.

The press material also gives me hope that there will be a refillable disc for your own powder as the dosage appears to depend on how far the system turns a mechanism inside the disc.

Still think that a hot air drying system would have been neat, possibly allowing for even quicker QuickPowerWash cycle times and/or better drying.
 
The disk appears to hold powder and the amount dispensed for each load depends on feedback from the soil sensor. There is also another cup so that you can use whatever detergent you want to use.

The salt container has moved to the bottom just like on the models sold in the USA. Apparently in the USA they only sold one or two model years in which the salt could be added in the door, then they reverted to having us fill the container in the bottom with a funnel. My first Miele bought in 1996 had the container in the bottom and a funnel was supplied. It really isn't that hard to do, and I only had do it once every 6 months - of course softer water too.

I still don't like the added complexity of this contraption even I chose not to use it.

It also seems like with their new water circuit the normal 140F cycle can use 1.5 gallons of water(probably light soil though)
