What customers say
Customers consistently highlight the exceptional build quality and the machine's remarkably quiet operation, confirming Miele's reputation for long term reliability. The innovative TwinDos automatic dispensing system is frequently cited as a game changer, simplifying the laundry process and ensuring precise detergent use. While the initial investment is substantial, users overwhelmingly feel the superior performance and expected longevity justify the premium price, making laundry effortless and efficient.
Know before you buy
TwinDos automatically dispenses the precise amount of liquid detergent needed for each load. While it is optimized for Miele’s two-phase detergent system, you can also fill the empty containers with your own preferred liquid detergent or fabric softener.
SteamCare significantly reduces creasing by smoothing fabrics at the end of the wash cycle. While it won't replace an iron for crisp, formal shirts, it will save you considerable time by making most everyday garments ready to wear with minimal effort.
The QuickIntenseWash cycle is designed to provide a thorough clean in under an hour, making it ideal for daily laundry. For heavily soiled items or larger loads, you may prefer one of the specialized longer cycles to ensure the best results.
The honeycomb structure creates a thin film of water between the drum and your clothes, allowing laundry to glide gently rather than rubbing against the metal. This significantly reduces fabric wear and prevents pilling, keeping your clothes looking new for longer.
Yes, the machine features Miele@home connectivity, which allows you to monitor and control your wash cycles through the Miele app on your smartphone. This is particularly useful for checking remaining cycle times or receiving notifications when a load is finished.
With a spin noise level of 72 dB, this model is relatively quiet for a high-performance machine. It is well-suited for homes where the laundry area is near living spaces, though you will still notice the sound during the high-speed 1600 rpm spin.
