Wonderful performance.

How come it doesn't have the Honey Comb drum? I have a 6kg Miele that is over a year old with the Honey Comb drum...

Pulsator

the 1613 has the microhole drum, it's the BOL machine. I think the 1614 has the honeycomb drum.

Thanks Thomas, I think its a stunning machine!!!

 

[pulsator]

Ahhhhh, interesting! It is indeed beautiful!!!

 

[thomasortega]

I didn't understand the dispenser compartments and why it has a cover...
somebody please explain it to me.

 

[paulc]

Aw thanks, I love it's simplicity programme wise, ie: it doesn't have programmes that I would never use. The only gripe's I have is I can't add an extra rinse onto the "automatic" programme unless I select "no spin" and the "express wash" has a normal action wash for 10 mins.....I would prefer intense wash action for 15 mins.

Miele - Immer Besser...!!!

Hi Paul, lovely machine, will last a lifetime, what is your most used programme?? have you tried the woollens wash??

The latest W5 series are selling well with the new 7kg drum, but I oh so wish they would put the 7kg in the W1756...!!! the door alone looks like it should have the 7kg drum, BUT now we do have the chrome door!!!

I would say I use the "cottons" prog the most, see post about towels, I go through a lot!!!

Use the "automatic" programme for small loads and "minimum iron" for most of our clothes.

Have used the "woolens" was for handwash things and its very effective.

Do you think the 7 kg drum would be much bigger or do you think they have just upped the water levels? The drum on mine is pretty big and I can get way more in a cotton wash than I could with our old Hotpoint WD440 which was rated at 6kg.

I was warned when we got this machine that I was not allowed to get bored of it and it would have to be a "keeper"!! Having said that, I can't ever seen me getting bored or fed up with this machine........plus I have the option of updates for it as well.

Am off just now......it's Torchwood time!!!

The new miele 7KG range has a 60L drum size Does this miele have that slow and fast cottons wash profile? Oh and is torchwood any good? Been sky+ it all week, havent had a chance to watch any

 

[paulc]

Yes it has that cotton wash profile. And be warned re: Torchwood, you will cry at the 4th episode!!

 

[jwilson00]

Im thinking i might know why i'll be crying like a little girl lol, just seen a load of face book status's

Looks Great

Hi- Washer looks great, I have to say the Miele's without the chrome doors have grown on me compared to when they first came out!

Nice to see what the Microhole drum looks like close up too, not seen a proper picture of one until now.

Great to hear another Miele owner still loving their machine, I just cant fault mine, some may even say im a bit obsessed with it, but hey they are special machines ! Mine is a year old on the 19th, time really has flown by and I still love it more and more everytime I use it

Nice thread

Dispenser

Left if for pre-wash and or pre-soak (if an offered option)

Right is main wash detergent

Front dispenser(with lid) is for fabric conditioner, dispensed during the final rinse.
