Temp and Spin
The Wash Temp reaches 158 F
Highest Extraction is 1400 RPM
Yup. They're just about Silent.

One thing too is that the washer doesn't pussyfoot around with balancing. It will do the graduated spin in the final spin. It extracts well and yes the pump is a tad noisy. Spin is very effective. Persil is a great detergent powder I love the MegaPearls Universal. Tide HE powder works very well in this washer. I tried Tide HE liquid and it was a disaster. Mega suds because of the drum design and it will add rinses to get rid of the suds. Then with mine I get the scolding Oversuds light lit up.

Balancing.
I've watched YouTubes and have read about how some of the FLs take forever to balance a load. I watched this machine through 2 cycles and it really gets right to it.
I've been using Persil for about 2 years now (Maybe 3) and I love the scent and the performance. Guess I'll stick with a good thing.

Congrats!
Have been considering either the 4**** or 3**** series to take some of the work off my W1070 and thus prolong it's life (and reduce service calls from Miele).
Both units pop up as used in good condition around here fairly often and usually can't be given away for love nor money, don't ask me why.
One thing that slightly bothers me is that the units must remain plugged in otherwise each time they are "restarted" the washer goes through setting up process. At least this is what one has heard and since one has several other appliances that require the outlet in that area (dishwasher, two washing machines, microwave, convection oven) that wouldn't be easy.

Thank You Laundress and Everyone
It really is a Stunning Machine.
And once again, soooo quiet. The only time you really hear the motor is when it's ramping up to 1400. Once it reaches 1400, it's quiet and very smooth. I think I'll start another Wash.
Oh Yes, Mike : The Shredmore is hooked up as well on the Laundry Line with the Maytag 806. The Shredmore has been the designated "Dog Blanket and Car Towel Washer. The 806 will be used for Smaller/Partial Loads.[this post was last edited: 2/24/2012-20:41]

Wow impressive machine!
<span style="font-size: medium;">Congratulations Eddie!</span>

With my 4800 I rotate it out and back in and I dont have to do the set up at all...plug it in and load it up.
Really? Do you? Can You?
Well that put's a completly different complexion on things. Thank you for that.
There are times when one wishes to wash larger loads and or items without having to use the local laundromat or endless loads in the W1070. Still as space for the 48XX would be tight something else would have to go.

The "Line".
This is the Line up.
I just noticed that the Wash speed starts out as a slow tumble and then picks up speed, then slows down, stops and reverses with the same sequence. Facinating !!!

So! Now I know why I did not hear from you today!
That is a gorgeous machine but I am still partial to the top mounted controls like my old LG.
I have to wonder if the Meile cleans so well due to the smaller holes in the tub which might keep the water going thru the clothes for a longer period of time? Though I can see the point of thew animal hair being a problem. I thionk you should do a scientific test for claning with the same items stained in the same way and try them in the top and fl machines and show is the difference.
Like I mentioned to you the other day, I really don't think our Duet really clans all that well and that the LG did a better job.
If I can get to it, I may install a water softener in the house tomorrow and see if it makes a difference at all.

Hey Jeb and Steve... Thanks
Hi Jeb.
I'm going to tweak (or try to) the Water Levels tomorrow. Then I'll throw together a video. I just finished watching a load of White Towels on "Extra Whites" which gave it a 140F Wash Temp.The Sanitize Cycle heats to 158F. And it's amazing how the Wash Tumble Speed slows down and then ramps up to almost a slow spin and then slows down again, then reverses and does the same thing. It's like there are little guys in the machine with Foul Weather gear on running around inside and they're carrying Clipboards reporting on what's going on in there.
Steve... The Wash Cylinder is really a unique design and to see it and touch it it's pretty wild. You can see the water riding on the surface of the cylinder.
Check out the link above to Miele. Click on everything and it really explains it all. I'll try to call you tomorrow if I can get my head out of that machine. LOL

Wonderful machine! I grew up with Miele, I still love them. We don't get this model in Europe, it would be a nice addition to the market here.
BTW, are you going to change your screenname now? lol

Hi Louis
I think I'll keep the user name for nostalgic reasons.
Thank You, It is a Nice Machine. I wonder why they do not offer this model in Europe ?

Eddie! Nice machine there
That is a humdinger! We'll have to trade wash ins, you come do a load in my SQ's and I'll come do one in your Miele. Love the raised glass logo on the door!!!
And my question is fur, if you have something covered with dog fur, cat fur, how does it get out those holes to the pump?? Or is there "clean" fur in the drum at the end of the cycle?? Anyone with experience on this??

Hi Jon
I love your Queens !!! It was a tough choice. So when you got the Queens, I figured well,,, I'll get the Benz ! LOL
I don't have a fur critter right now but Mike (Nmassman) mentioned this earlier in the thread. I would imagine it's "Clean Fur". There does not seem to be any large openings at all in the cylinder.
It is quite a learning experience from using a toploader to this. Trying to figure out how to reset the water levels. I have been into the programming mode but I guess I'm doing something wrong as when saving the changes. The machine is perfoming just fine, but with the AW Gene in the body, Ya always need more "Wahdah".
Yes, perhaps the next time you head to Chatham, you should stop by and whirl a Laundry in the "Benz" !!! (I might even make lunch) Nice to hear from you. Eddie
