Soak is really not nescessary. But a Pre-Wash is a MUST HAVE for curtains. No matter as an option or with a special cutains cycle.

My 1986 manual never mentions a prewash, and the program selections don't show it, but the program sequence lights show it. When you select heavy soil the first fill is cold water while the prewash light is on. It runs a bit and then you can hear the heater engage. At the end the water is pumped out and it will be warm to the touch. The machine then goes on doing whatever the selected program would be.
The machine has a soak option too. Every push of the Soak button adds 30 minutes to the entire soak period up to 6 hours. I tried it once but just can't see any use for it.
What do you make of the steam option or continuous spray mentioned above? Wonder if it is really going to use steam or just spritz hot water?

Ok, steam is just for reducing creases, but true steam, real boiled water.
And the spray is a thing i would not like to miss anymore after our Panasonic. Clothes are dripping wet, no matter if it is ECO or not (50l for 8kg are quite not much, but with Rinse+ and ca. 65l water you get pefect results), and rinsing is perfect. A pillow (top test for a washer) is rinsed 4 times and the last water is sparkling clean on the alergic cycle.
The Pre-Wash is perfect for heavy soils and , mostly, curtains. Without a prewash, these are just not as white as with one...

Use The Soak Option
On my older Miele to clean and or even boil wash items that cannot take prolong tumbling such as vintage linens. However given recent increases in electric rates often just use my range top lessiveuse boiler instead.

Pre-Washing
Old school methods are best. One does not wash grossly filthy laundry in one wash water. Rather two washes no matter how short are better than one long one in dirty water.
Historically commercial laundries used several changes of wash water which explains why their whites are often so bright.

Yes, thats more like what I expected from Miele.
Hopefully its in the new design, I guess it is from the title page (drum back is the new one)!
Also looks like you can plumb it into Rain Water, and possibly sea water too? Thats good.
Plus nice, its got the big display!!

Anti clockwise spin?
"it could spin anticlockwise like on the Professional machines,"
What is the purpose of this on professional machines? I think It looks rather weird.

Ha, the manuals are avaible no in Germany, to. And the dryer got 2 Cottons settings. One as the declaration cycle with best enegy perfomance, one as the normal cottons.
Pitty, the manual is online for the downline dryer only.....

Press Release No. 116/2013 New W1 washing machine series: Pe
"Forever better": Miele improves on its legendary honeycomb drum
Gütersloh/Berlin, September 4, 2013. – Twelve years ago, Miele set new standards with its patented honeycomb drum - a feature that remains unparallelled to this day. This, though, is set to change at the IFA 2013 trade show – with the world premiere of the new and also patented SoftSteam drum from Miele.
Smaller perforations in the honeycomb sculptured surface which cause water to create a fine film and drain off fast have made the Miele honeycomb drum a synonym for gentle laundry care. And now, the new honeycomb drum, called SoftSteam, is to feature on all washing machines from the W1 range and also simplifies ironing.
When the 'Pre-ironing' option is selected, the new honeycomb drum is pre-heated. The hot drum and the new sculptured surface with its larger hexagons and wider channels removes the wrinkles from laundry even before the load is transferred to the tumble dryer. Depending on the programme, this additional function can be simply selected at the touch of a button.
Greater pitch on the concave pointed hexagons also improves drainage, which in turn enhances spin efficiency. And, naturally, Miele customers continue to profit from the familiar advantages of the classical honeycomb drum which include a reduction in the impressions on laundry left by the drum holes and a reduced risk of laddering.

Press Release No. 115/2013 New W1 washing machine series:
More intuitive, more convenient and even smarter. Innovative programmes offering supreme user convenience
Gütersloh/Berlin, September 4, 2013. – All Miele washing machines from the new generation are characterised by an easily surveyed and intuitive user interface. As a result, user interaction is even simpler, despite the fact that these models are capable of far more than their predecessors.
With the rotary selector on the right and a centred display, Miele is continuing to use typical signature features as well as adhering to the principle of programme selection working from right to left. The fascia appears uncluttered and arranged to reflect the sequence of selection steps: Switch the machine on, select a programme and possible options and start the programme. On the high-resolution TFT display with white characters on a black background, all settings and function are clearly legible. The main programmes and additional functions can be selected directly using switches or pushbuttons. Thanks to the new EasyOpen function, doors are simply pulled open and do not require any electrical connection.
A practical additional convenience feature, only available from Miele, is the new 'Mixed items' programme. Its use is recommended when individual items of laundry get forgotten in the hustle and bustle of everyday life - not exactly an unknown occurrence! The feat accomplished by this new programme is to be able to wash a blend of mixed fabrics together in a single cycle. A total of 19 different garment types can be selected and combined. Such a wash cycle is able to take socks, denim and even a fleece jacket.
The new ProgrammeManager, too, allows programmes to be compiled to suit individual needs using these five options: 'Intensive' ensures good detergency (without extending the wash cycle), 'Eco' reduces energy consumption (whilst extending the cycle duration), 'Extra gentle' reduces mechanical action, 'Extra quiet' reduces sound emissions during the wash cycle and 'AllergoWash' makes for improved hygiene by extending the temperature holding time and ensuring the thorough removal of detergent residues.

Press Release No. 114/2013 New W1 washing machine series: Re
PowerWash and intelligent dispensing for even better performance
Gütersloh/Berlin, September 4, 2013. – The new Miele dimension to cleanliness in laundry care rests on three pillars: PowerWash ensures even better drenching of laundry. TwinDos adds convenience, precision and efficiency to dispensing. And CapDosing simplifies the targeted use of special-purpose detergents. The outcome is the top-rate, gentle and convenient washing of garments – taking laundry care to a new all-time high.
The technical heart and soul of the new PowerWash system is an additional pump which sprays water back into the drum at the top. Furthermore, a special drum rhythm ensures that laundry lies flat against the walls of the drum, creating a tunnel down the centre. This combination of features allows detergent to penetrate the laundry load faster and more uniformly. This way, PowerWash increases wash performance by at least 10% as has been confirmed by a report issued by the independent wfk Institute for Applied Research in Krefeld. Tests were performed using the 'Cottons 40°C' and 'Cottons 60°C' programmes (half-load).
And for those needing clean laundry fast, the QuickPowerWash programme is just the job, washing up to 5 kg of laundry in less than 1 hour. Far from being merely a curtailed programme, QuickPowerWash is a full cycle offering impressive cleaning.
TwinDos – The integrated 2-phase dispensing system
Miele has a reputation as the forerunner in the field of automatic detergent dispensing. As early as 2006, Miele presented LiquidWash, the world's first liquid dispensing system. This was followed in 2010 by AutoDos, the first system of its kind in the world to automatically dispense liquid AND powder detergents. At IFA 2013, Miele is now set to add a new chapter to this success story: TwinDos, the first integrated dispensing system for liquid detergents, is able to save up to 30% detergent and produces excellent cleaning results, not only on whites.
This system is integrated in the lower reaches of the machine and offers room for two containers, each with a capacity of 1.5 l. TwinDos is the first automatic dispensing system to feature two-phase detergents in liquid form: The first stage involves a basic detergent (Miele UltraPhase 1) to remove soils such as grease and protein. Next in is a detergency enhancer or booster (Miele UltraPhase 2) which makes light work of stubborn stains such as those from red wine or coffee. Both detergents are dispensed separately, at an appropriate time to suit the type of laundry and in the correct ratio.
Miele is the only brand to have developed its own detergents and care products in close cooperation with leading detergent manufacturers which are specifically geared to the needs of Miele machines and thereby able to produce optimum results.
Notwithstanding this, TwinDos is an open system which can alternatively be used with regular off-the-shelf liquid detergents or fabric conditioners. The detergent dispenser, too, can be used in the usual way, leaving all options open.
CapDosing – Simple handling of special-purpose detergents
The requirements of wash programmes and detergents are becoming more specific as time goes on: Sometimes, certain fabrics or garments require special treatment or a particularly persistent stain poses specific challenges. Or, say, fabric conditioner is only required occasionally. And, anyway, who wants to have a whole arsenal of detergents taking up valuable space in the cupboard, just on the off-chance they will be needed?
Here, too, Miele offers its customers an intelligent and world-exclusive capsule dispensing system called CapDosing which can be used on all washing machines from the new W1 generation.
CapDosing offers a range of less frequently used special detergents, for example for high-quality outdoor and trekking wear with breathable membranes, in practically sized capsules. The same applies to performance-enhancing additives and fabric conditioner. These capsules, conveniently inserted into the fabric conditioner compartment of the detergent dispenser, allow detergents and care products to be stored simply and without causing a mess.
PowerWash, TwinDos and CapDosing: Together, these features stand for top-class cleaning performance combined with maximum convenience – exclusively available from Miele.

Press Release No. 117/2013 New T1 tumble dryer series: Miele
More convenient, cheaper and environmentally friendlier drying
Gütersloh/Berlin, September 4, 2013. – The tumble dryers which Miele is to unveil at the IFA trade show are more energy-efficient than their predecessors and dry even more gently. And, to top it all, a new SteamFinish function reduces the need for ironing even further. All models feature heat-pump technology and are at least A+ rated for energy efficiency, if not higher. With their completely new design and a transparent door as the most striking feature, these new dryers harmonise perfectly with washing machines from the W1 series.
Less ironing thanks to SteamFinish – the most important technical highlight on the new tumble dryers from Miele. This involves spraying an aerosol created by passing water from the condensate container through a nozzle into the drum, where it turns to steam when exposed to the hot process air. This both removes wrinkles and stretches fabrics as they tumble in the rotating drum. This function really comes into its own when preparing dry garments for ironing, or on unworn items which have been in a suitcase and need smoothing. With this convenience feature known as 'Steam Smoothing' which is selectable from the fascia, Miele is offering an option which ideally complements the 'Pre-ironing' feature on the new washing machines.
Depending on the model, some T1 tumble dryers feature the new ProfiEco motor. This brushless, permanent-magnet motor is not only powerful, maintenance-free and quiet, it is also extremely energy-efficient (A++ rating for energy efficiency). And, what's more, the EcoFeedback indicator which has become a familiar feature on Miele washing machines, now also helps users to get a better handle on energy efficiency in tumble dryers. In addition to indicating consumption, these machines also feature a lint filter indicator as a clean filter reduces both consumption and cycle times.
The user interface reflects that on matching washing machines, is clear and concise and offers logical progression from right to left when selecting programmes. The white characters on a black background guarantee good display readability. New, too, is the transparent door which further lends to bringing the tumble dryer into line with its washing machine counterparts. The new filter insert can still be removed in one single flowing movement. All new tumble dryers sport the exclusive FragranceDos feature which adds a pleasantly fresh fragrance to laundry and is available in the 'Aqua', 'Cocoon' and 'Nature' bouquets. The holder for the fragrance flacon is prominently visible in the door area. This leaves the amount of fragrance in the bottle easily visible and allows the intensity of scent to be conveniently adjusted to suit personal taste. Thanks to the new EasyOpen function, doors are simply pulled open and do not require any electrical connection.
Similarly, all new tumble dryers from the T1 series feature Miele's successful and exclusive PerfectDry function. When determining the residual moisture in garments, this system factors in the mineral content of the water, preventing either over- or underdrying. Such precise monitoring saves time and energy and goes easy on textiles. The gentle treatment of laundry is now being taken to the next level with the enhanced honeycomb drum with its larger hexagons, bigger and rearranged drum ribs and a modified reversing rhythm.
And, of course, quality continues to top Miele's agenda: The new generation of tumble dryers is designed and tested to last 20 years.

Hi All
Hope you find the above interesting. There are more press-releases available, and loads of photos.
Some press releases also say that all washing machines will have a A+++ for energy efficiency, will have a load capacity of 8 kg, minimum, and will spin at 1600 rpm... and all dryers will feature heat-pump technology.
It says the new W1 and T1 model ranges are due to be launched immediately after the IFA trade show. But I found somewhere else the UK release date is March 2014
I really like the white doored machines! (although they look almost the same as the new Siemens line)
Let me know what you think...

never been a huge fan of Miele purely for their styling but these new machines are stunning... and i love the new drum styling, the old design was getting a bit stale.
