Today I saw a new washer and dryer of miele on the website of a Belgian appliance shop. I didn't find much information on these machines yet but I wanted to know what do you guys think of the new look.

Major changes

New Era of Miele?

In past few decades, one pattern of the back of the drum was used, now it's changed? (as far as I can see on the picture)
In past few decades, doors were opening with the button, but now on both washer and dryer, they are opened with door handle

Interesting, can't wait to get more info, or maybe even videos on their channel :)

Oh my..........

I'm in washer lust! Although I do think the dryer facia would look better as a mirror image of the washer, sitting side by side I feel the look would be better.
 
"Louis, where are you?"

Yoohoo! I'm here!

Those are only datasheets, what didn't you understand what Google translate couldn't solve?

Since this series is called the W1 series, I was wondering if these are the replacements for the W1000 series. They're goodlooking machines, but what on earth is that second door at the bottom for? They seem rather expensive.
 
second door

I believe that's for a dosing container or something like that because it has twindos (which is probably something like autodos) and capdosing (don't know what that is)
we will have to wait for more information.
 
manual for the washer

Here is the manual for the washer, seems a very interesting machine.
next to 'productnaam' you have to enter 'WKH 170' and enter then the manual will download.

 
Sophisticated washer

Well I have read the manual of the washer and it has lots of dosing options such as a system for the dosing of caps(in the drawer) and an autodos system with two containers.
It has a lot of options and functions such as steam. the water plus function is more elaborate you can choose between 4 different levels from normal to very high and you can now also choose the option where the washer always takes the maximum high water level for the rinses. (also known as max water on previous machines but now easier to programm)
Another thing that astonished me is the fact that it has 2 pumps behind the filter door.
It looks like a very nice machine with a lot of functions and programs, I do hope it is still reliable.

I was talking about the manuals, which I tried to read last night. My French is clearly better than my Dutch, as I found out... which is interesting, since Dutch is kinda similar to German.

Two pumps?

I have taken a look at the user's manual: from the pictures at page 72 (French version, section "Problems and solutions") it seems that there are two drain pumps (and two filters too).

Seems strange... Also because the text always says "pump" and not "pumps": maybe the famous Miele quality has made a mistake with the pictures?
 
Germany and Belgium

I find curious that these new washing machines seem to be introduced in Belgium before Germany (I cannot find anything on the German Miele site) however also Electrolux introduce new products in Belgium first.

I wonder what the reason might ever be.

And yes: a recirculation pump seems a sensible explanation
