My wife loves this machine. She always wanted a Miele washing machine, now she has one and is very pleased with it, does every thing she needs it to do and at a great price.
What else to say about Miele. High quality, recommend to everyone
They installed th m/c but didn’t remove the heavy duty transit bars. Had to take m/c out of fitted cupboard, under work surface, & remove bars myself. Was not happy
It’s top rated for energy AAA+ Was also best value I could find.
The customer backup from Miele has been lacking. I am fed up with companies still using a COVID as an excuse and not complying with their contract deliverables. Miele, look at your customer service and address your shortcomings.

I have bought Miele items for 30 years and spent thousands with them. I bought, this item from Amazon and the delivery and installation were great and as described.

I love the new machine and I really like the fact you can download and use from the App, if i am away from the machine it sends a message to say it has finished.
Easy to use manually also, I have used almost all the settings. Clothes seem to come out cleaner than others it is a big drum which I prefer loving this new machine and hope it lasts as long as my other very impressed so far. If you can afford to spend that little bit more in my opinion it is well worth it as they are made to last unlike cheaper appliances. I like Miele products so I am a big fan.

Upon delivery we found this machine to be a lot heavier than the machine we were replacing. Better build quality im sure. Due to the weight of the machine there will be less vibration and movement.
When unboxing the machine there is a slot in the polystyrene where you think the tool for removing the transportation bolts is kept. Don’t panic.. the tool is actually inside the drum of the machine along with the paper work and the TwinDos.
I am familiar with Miele appliances. The current appliance we have is very good. Long lasting, well made and great for what it’s used for. I would definitely recommend this brand to friends and family if they ever needed an appliance.
Once installed it was very easy to set up the machine. Once you have connected the machine to your phone and wifi you are required to do a calibration cycle without detergent or dirty washing. This is round about 2 hours long. Follow the instructions in the booklet and you can’t go wrong. Very well explained and easy to set up.
This machine comes with TwinDos. You can order from Miele direct or other places online for more detergent or you can use your own brands. If you were to use your own brands then you will need to adjusted the dosages to what is recommended by the supplier. Having looked at the cartridges supplied it does look hard to refill them. You can buy other cartridges online that have a much bigger refill cap on them. It’s a shame that these don’t come standard.
I think the TwinDos is great as your dont have to worry about using the pods each time you load the machine. You will also get a notification sent to your phone when the detergent is getting low. I have found in the past thats sometime the pods don’t always dissolve and you have to put it on another cycle.
There are plenty different wash cycles to select from. Still coming to grips with them all. It also has a quick wash option which is very handy if you need something washing in a short space of time.
We have been using the detergent supplied and it has cleaned the clothes very well and it all smells very fresh. Not sure if we will go back to our normal detergents. Although having looked online it does seem a bit more costly.
Never had such a premium machine in my life.
I was doubting if the price would be worth the appliance.
I’ve always used major brands of washers and been happy enough until I’ve seen what the difference in a quality manufacturer like this is
The machine is so quite when running even when on its fastest spin of 1400 you could sleep in the same room as it!
Everyone in the home can notice the difference in the washing and we are using the same detergent this machine clearly is doing a much better wash than my previous machine which was only 2y old.
The wash programs a easiest to customise there’s no silly little menu options to faff with it’s got pre set cycles with the dial and you simply alter the temp or spin speed to suit your washing load.
Instal was easy but the transportation bolts in the rear are like nothing I’ve seen on a machine before. They are at least 1ft in length, I actually thought I’d removed the wrong part.
The spanner for removing the bolts is hidden in the very bottom of the packaging in the side of the styrofoam. Unfortunately I didn’t find it till I was clearing away but I just used a pair or Plumbers grips to remove the bolts.
Very sturdy machine and easy to level on our floor.
Pleased to say if your doubting the price tag but can afford it, then go for it!
This really does feel like a machine that will last me all my days.
Never disappointed with Miele. My last Miele washing machine lasted for almost 16 years without any breakdowns or problems. Nice relatively simple and easy to use machine that works very well and is so much quieter than the old one. Super quiet washing machine. We alway running the machine on midnight, very quiet and no noise, you can’t feeling the machine is running. No useless gimmicks, just a very good washing machine. Easy to set up and install. I also like that it looks very similar to my old machine so still matches our Miele tumble dryer. Only issue is the machine is very very heavy, but looks very strong and durable. High recommend.
After delivery, trying to manipulate it while removing the packaging and getting it into position was quite hard, as it is really heavy (much heavier than our previous machines)! This will help when in position to reduce vibration and movement but getting it there is harder than other (maybe cheaper?) Machines.
Having replaced our previous Miele of some 16 years. This being a more modern up to date Efficient machine that is very quiet and if you are into your tech, then you can connect the Miele to your phone. (Optional) It is user friendly and confident you will not be disappointed
This is a solid machine – very heavy. It is extremely quiet and absolutely no movement even on fast spin. It was easy to set and washing has been excellent.
Clothes come out pretty dry – so air drying is not an issue. Machine itself is nice and quiet (once you figure out how to switch off the annoying ‘I’m finished’ bell). Huge manual with loads of options – but really will be mostly using the Cottons setting. Initially it says 2h30ish, after a little churning it normally drops to 1h30ish (presumably smaller loads)
Love the twin dos system it’s great and makes it even quicker to get through washing. Is very good and saves the faff of pouring detergent all over the place. I’m definitely a convert, The Twin dose system is fantastic, looks a little expensive but really is a step forward in ease of use and performance.
The app has just had an update and it’s made the washing assistant a great feature. No more guesting with dial/button to use, it’s suggests the appropriate setting, so you get more from the technology and don’t use the same one every time!
The solutions are a little on the expensive side but do give an amazing wash and no scum (which coincidentally there was with ordinary washing solution which I had to use while waiting for the delivery of the Miele solution).
Best washing machine I’ve ever had easy to use washes cloths brilliantly
I am familiar with Miele appliances having used them for years, i find them to be made well, long lasting, good quality and the most important point, they work hard for you. I have enjoyed trying out this more updated washing machine and am still getting acquainted with it.
This Miele WSH 863 freestanding front loading washing machine is energy efficient with TwinDos and SingleWash plus multiple wash programmes, it has an 8kg capacity which makes it ideal for smaller families. Having tried out the machine several times i have found it to be quiet when working, i am still learning all the various programmes as it does so much, the sensor control panel is another new feature to me, just a light touch is all it needs and it’s up and running.
My two favourite features of the machine are hands down the TwinDos automatic detergent dispensing system, no more having to fill my washing machine with detergent and fabric conditioner every time i want to use it, the machine does it for you, this saves so much time and fuss. The TwinDos cartridges are easily placed into their compartments, they will then lock into position. Having used the machine several times to wash bedding i can confirm the laundry smells fresh and clean upon removal.
Another favourite feature is the Miele@home app, this has changed my life, once downloaded and set up (it takes no time at all) you are able to set the machine and start it up to wash your laundry when at work or out for the day so it’s all nicely washed and cleaned when you return home. You can check how your laundry is doing, what cycle it is on, how long it has left whilst you go about your day and it will also let you know when your laundry is ready, this blew me away!
I would also like to add that the machine is easily stackable, if like me you have limited space. I also ordered the matching tumble dryer and stacking kit which makes it simple to stack the machines. Whilst not the cheapest machine, you get what you pay for. Miele are by far the best, and are true work horses and in the long run offer great value for money.
This will be the second washing machine I owed made by Miele, and can highly recommend them and very quiet when in operation and hopefully be as reliable as the previous model.
I never thought that I would get excited over a washing machine. This models given you lots of choice for each programme to suit your family with different temperatures and spin options for most settings. If also had a timer that allows it to wash during the night ready for the morning.
Good choice of programmes, the shortest being around 20 minutes which is perfect for items needing a quick freshen up. Like other reviews for Miele this is a very quiet machine. Solidly built. Am extremely pleased with this purchase and the price was very competitive.
I am happy to use the new one as it’s been upgrade the design of Miele compared the old one I had.
Friendly service and delivery was on time. Despite the Covid they followed the guidelines of what they have had to do.
Had my old Miele washing machine 18 years. I hope I get the same wear out of this one.
The Miele washing machine was as expected from a quality manufacturer like Miele. So far everything is as expected, good performance, reliable washing, quick wash is a really nice feature. The 8kg drum is a smaller than our other washing machine but since we have options it’s not a problem for us.
Nice relatively simple and easy to use machine that works very well and is so much quieter than the old one!
Any washing machine engineer I’ve talked to has said they are the best. Costs a bit more, but definitely worth it. Because of the technology the machine is ‘kinder’ to clothes, they don’t come out creased as much.
Simple controls and easy to adjust programme , e.g. Spin speed. You don’t need an app or degree in systems control systems to operate it.
It really is pretty quiet and looks nice in kitchen.
Cleans well excepting some programmes don’t seem to do anything.
Maybe it costs a bit more than others but spares will be available past manufacture run date and it will in all likelihood be reliable.
Like ability to do short washes and add extra clothes during wash cycle.

Excellent machine well worth the money
Quite washing machine could do with a faster spin only 1400 would be better 1600
Review is all in the name Miele never disappoints products stand above anyone else’s for quality and results
Not enough quick wash programmes
This is the best and quietest washing machine I have ever owned, by far.
Only drawback, getting it level was a bit awkward.
I think the machine has been designed, in its default settings, to use as little water as possible. Sometimes when the programme has finished there might still be signs of soap suds on the clothes. In the “Settings” menu you can cure this by opting for “Maximum Rinse Level” which they say is important for allergy sufferers. Once set, you don’t have to do it again and it applies to all the washes and gives excellent rinsing results. There are several other useful configurable options. “Which” gives all Miele washing machines enthusiastic reviews – the mystery for me is why there are quite so many different models and what possible advantage one has over another. I ended up buying this one because it was the only one of the reviewed models that I could find on Amazon, with the reliable delivery service I like from Amazon.

Shame we weren’t notified the day before that it was arriving Sat and not following Mon. Delivery driver and assistant with poor/no PPE. Only one wearing a facemask or any form of protection.
Amazing washing machine, well worth the extra especially with a 10 year guarantee.
