After getting through 3 washing machines in 10 years and already having a miele drier, we decides to invest in the miele washing machine. It's a lovely machine and has a great range of wash cycles, you can just see the quality and its great knowing its going to last.

Best in class!

I bought it in hope to be long lasting one. After few days it is hard to say anything. However Miele is famous from lasting 15-20 years. On positive note - it is quite quiet. Programs are flexible, i mean you can modify them with options quite freely. Other companies does not have this level of flexibility. Right hinge! I think Miele is the last one to offer opposite solution to main stream. Very important factor to me. The washing machine is having a lot of programable functions accessible via special menu. I had to switch off multiple sounds (bleeps). But there is more to program. I decided not to use Wi-Fi related functions - personal preference. So far I am happy customer :-)

we have had six differnt brands but this is the best 1

Bought this to replace our old Hotpoint of which only the frame and shell are original everything else has been replaced a number of times, where my Mum's 20 years old Miele has never missed a beat. Build quality is excellent as expected. It's so quiet compared to my old one. Only 2 minor niggles, 1) the door hinge is on the right, means moving washing to the tumble dryer a little awkward - I need to see if it's possible to change that, and 2) the standard wash cycles are significantly longer that my old machine - but I guess we'll get used to that and finally 3), it goes to sleep when not used for a while and takes what seems like 30 seconds or more to wake up.

Just simply a brilliant machine for a busy house with an endless stream of washing.

The build quality is solid, heavy machine hence it's quite in operations. There's many programmes, however only 2 of them you can have full load; 1. Cotton: It takes 1 hour and 15 minutes if you select Short. 2. Eco 40-60: takes around 4 hours! There should have been more preset options for full drum! Final drum speed can be adjusted (600, 900,1200,1400) I normally select 900 to reduce creasing. Temperatures can also be adjusted. Like most washing machines it doesn't add enough water, there's water ??+ button though, I normally select that. Avoid using -powder- detergent, once they harden up is really difficult to breakdown, use liquid or capsules. As usual the AO delivery team were brilliant.

Fantastic washer and if lasts 18 years like previous Miele model we purchased, absolute bargain.
