Know before you buy
TwinDos is an automatic dispensing system that uses Miele’s two-phase detergent cartridges to release the precise amount of soap needed for each load. While it is optimized for these cartridges, you can also use the manual detergent drawer if you prefer to use your own preferred brand or specific specialty detergents.
Yes, the AddLoad feature allows you to pause the cycle and add missed items like socks or shirts through the door, provided the water level and temperature inside the drum are at a safe point.
Yes, the Miele WXR 860 is designed to be stackable. You will need to purchase the appropriate Miele stacking kit to safely secure a matching dryer on top of the unit.
The Honeycomb drum features a unique sculpted surface that creates a thin film of water between the fabric and the drum wall. This allows your clothes to glide gently during the cycle, significantly reducing wear and tear compared to standard flat-surface drums.
The SoftSteam function uses steam at the end of the wash cycle to smooth out fabrics while they are still in the drum. This process significantly reduces wrinkles, which cuts down on the time and effort required for ironing.
No, the machine connects directly to your home Wi-Fi network. You can monitor and control the washer remotely using the Miele app on your smartphone or tablet.
