It’s top rated for energy AAA+ Was also best value I could find. It’s also a front loader as the picture shows.

I always buy Miele products where possible because they are good quality and long lasting my last washing machine at 15 years old is still going and is at another house.
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.

Do not dislike anything.
Like ability to do short washes and add extra clothes during wash cycle.

This is the second washer dryer I have owned (previous model was Hoover 5+ years ago.) I’ve replaced (somewhat begrudgingly) an AEG washing machine and separate tumble dryer in a bid to create more space in my kitchen/diner. I was nervous about another washer dryer for two reasons: the previous model I had BAKED the laundry during the drying cycle and the fact you can’t simply open the door during drying. After much research, I decided that opting for the best brand on the market would be the best bet. I haven’t been disappointed. The overall feel and build quality is what you’d expect; this machine is solid and VERY heavy! The transit bolts were a little fiddly to remove but we got there in the end. So far I have tested washing only and continuous cycles with great results. As long as you don’t over-fill the drum (giving the laundry plenty of room to agitate around the drum) ensures great results. The only negative is the functionality (or lack thereof) of “Mobile Start” via the Miele app (iOS.) I’ve connected the device to my home network and I’m able to see what what program is currently running however I cannot use the pause function and not can I customise my programs. This is a relatively minor snag however it does mean I can’t tell the machine what CapDos capsules I’m using (this lets the machine now when to introduce to the wash load during the cycle.) I’m hoping this is a temporary glitch (I’ve emailed Miele and hope a quick app update will help.) The 2 year warranty is a little disappointing for such an expensive machine, considering it’s been designed and built for 20 years use. If you need a washer dryer then this is one I would definitely recommended.

UPDATED 15/07/21 I received a call from Chris at Miele yesterday REF remote control activation issues, he was brilliant. Chris talked me through the process, explained some of the ambiguity in the manual (due to the direct translation from German to English) and gave me his number to call back personally if I had any further problems. Exceptional service. Needless to say, the remote control function is now enabled and I am able to use the Miele app (for me, this is so I can use the CapDos system.) This is what you pay for when you purchase such an expensive piece of kitchen equipment; rating changed from 4* to 5*. Bravo Chris!

It took me a while to work out how to use this but, like most things, it’s easy when you know how. I’m really pleased with the quality of the wash and the quietness of the machine. The only real disadvantage is that the door opens the wrong way for me and it’s impossible to change, making loading and unloading awkward in a small space. The hinge is on the right as you look at it.
