I was nervous about buying a combined washer and tumble dryer but Wow, this machine is fantastic.
So many features.
I love that you can wash and dry in one cycle with no need to change machines.
There is no need to empty a water container for the dryer or attach a hose – the moisture goes down the washer pipes! This is a really big plus to having a combined washer and dryer.
There is no lint filter to clean after a tumble. Just put it on a short lint-cleaning programme and the line is gone.
There is an Eco programme and a quick Cottons programme so I can choose economy or speed.
It has sensor drying so no need to set a time. The sensor works perfectly every time.
It has a fast 1500rpm spin speed which helps to get the clothes dry too.
It’s not very loud.
It has a lovely, lovely control panel. Miele control panels are the easiest panels you will ever use. Every other manufacturer I have tried is complicated. Miele is so easy with a lovely, spaced out touch-screen display.
The machine has an app. It’s quite easy to connect the app on your phone to the machine. Once connected, running programmes can be monitored with the app. The app will show a notification with the washing progress. You can even choose a programme to start with the app. I didn’t think I would use the app at all but actually it’s great.
The machine is 8kg wash and 5kg dry (maximums). So if you’re washing and drying together, it’s realistically 5kg maximum load. If you’re just washing, you can put 8kg in.
The Start/Add Laundry button is weird. Yes, it’s used to start the programme. But it’s also used to interrupt (cancel) the programme too. Feels weird pressing a Start button to cancel a programme. Miele should have had the button change so it doesn’t say Start all the time.
Lots of advanced hidden settings like changing the washing finished beeping sound.
This is the third Miele machine I’ve bought (different models) and I’ve been incredibly pleased with them all. I am nervous about it still because it’s a combined washer and dryer so there’s more to go wrong. But so far so good.
Bad thing:
The door opens to the right which feels really dumb. Miele should offer an option to have this changed as they do on a few other models.
I love the automatic dosing; it makes me wants to do laundry more because it’s one less hassle.
It’s top rated for energy AAA+ Was also best value I could find. It’s also a front loader as the picture shows.
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 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.
Like ability to do short washes and add extra clothes during wash cycle.
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!
Love this machine, so easy to use, supper quite and very energy efficient. Love that I do not need to add detergent to the wash.
Tells you when to run a cleaning cycle.
The app was really easy to set up and love the Alexa integration.
Highly recommended this product.
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.
