I've had this machine w/ matching T9802 dryer for three years. Let me share some observations...
You can absolutely use liquid detergent, but reduce the quantities and wash at lower temps to reduce sudsing...
W4842 utilizes Miele's patented SpinClean technology which accelerates the drum motion to ensure clothes in the middle of the drum get pulled toward the outer edge, ensuring proper turnover and excellent wash results...
Due to the small holes of the Honeycomb drum, W4842 is not especially good at rinsing away pet hair...
Normal cycle does NOT use the heater under any circumstances despite what someone else said. It has been confirmed over on GardenWeb with a power meter that there is no power draw from the heater during the Normal cycle...
My go-to detergent is Tide HE Total Care (liquid) and I use Persil Universal Megaperls on my white loads...
THE BOTTOM LINE - I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS MACHINE!
