Lovely machine! I would love a machine with a drum light! Can you keep it on right through the cycle or does it switch off automatically?

drum light

Too bad, but it switches off automatically after a short while. It happend a few times that it turned itself on during the cycle. Don't know why but looked pretty cool.

It would be cool if you could have the light on all the time.

Here's a load of white towels,teatowels etc waiting to go in.

Great pics Paul You can get so much in these machines dont you think!?

Mrwash.... Mine has done this a few times too, switching the drum light on during the cycle, It always seemed to happen when Ive been taking pictures with the flash switched on which sounds strange I know, but its good to know someone else's Miele does this too LOL

Nice Thread

Yeah, I think our Miele's have their own life. I think they like it being shown on youtube and being photographed all the time. They are kind of stars and we are the paparazzi *lol* Maybe they say "Yeah come on, more photos baby" by turning on the light :-D

Hey Paul

Lovely machine you have there! Glad to hear its still working away without any problems (But what else would you expect from a miele).

I love mieles but I could never have a machine that lasted so long as I get bored of them 2 quickly...lol

Although I lie as I did have a miele in my flat when I lived in my home town of Luton. I gave it to my mum when I moved up to Scotland. She recently replaced it with a Zanussi as it was messing about apparently. I was very tempted to ask her to keep it until I was next down to visit when I would bring it back to Scotland. But she has never really treated machines well and it had become a bit of a mess cosmetically and the door seal was manky and starting not to seal. Also very hard water in Luton and the machine would have been totally scaled up.

Hey Rich, yea I was amazed how much laundry a true 6kg load is!!

Mark, I was worried about getting bored with the machine too.....but as the newer Mieles have different wash rythms depending on the load no two washes are quite the same. Posted you a msg in the imperial section to re your LOVELY Hotpoint T/L....am super jelous!!

here on main wash.
It would be overloaded for minimum iron, so the compromise is boilwash-coloured 30°C with quick and waterplus and spin set @ 400 rpm ----> 4 rinses.
At the end I'll take out the most wrinkable items, then respin other ones @ 1200 rpm
