In this video, Elyse will help you decide if Miele washing machine and the dryer is right for you. She will cover overview of models and share her personal experiences along with some potential downsides to look out for.

Thanks a million! Your review is highly appreciated.
Really great description of the different models, comparisons of each. I feel like I have a good sense of the whole line up, and that makes me more confident w/ my selection. Thanks Elyse & team!
Thank you!
Hi Elyse, Thanks so much for making the video, it was really helpful. I have a question concerning the dryer. When I fluff wool clothing for a few minutes after laying them it to dry, dust clings to all the plastic surfaces inside the dryer and around the opening. I always found this really annoying, and usually vacuum the dust so that it does not get on the clothes when I remove them. Have you had this experience, and is there any way to remedy it? Thank you, Paolo
This is a great machine, and the efficiency benefits are large, but our T1 died at 10 months (offline for 59 days and counting), and Miele service has been awful. There really aren't enough expletives to describe the experience.
What did you replace it with?
My 6yr old Miele washer dryer has just gone for recycling.
Cost me £1600 6yrs ago and worked perfectly fine for 3yrs without any issues.
After 4 yrs (1 Yr out of the 3yr warranty) the twin dos system started to leak fluid and a fault flagged up... £400 later with a new dos canister unit and new dos circuit board it was running again.
18mths on it now requires a new washing detergent draw housing as the original is leaking when the water is passes through it... causing the flood warning to turn off the machine... which would have cost a further £362 to replace.
Twenty years my arse... Anything that requires best part of £800 spending every 2 yrs would last 20yrs.
Complete rip off the price of Miele products... So never again...
Bosch has taken it's place and for the price if it lasts 6yrs i will be happy.
I agree, the alleged twenty year life span is nothing but marketing hype.
Over $2000- for a machine that failed catastrophically after just nine years, while suffering horrifically inside for several years prior to failure, all because of an imbecile’s cost cutting decision making the internal drum support out of cast aluminum. It suffered severe galvanic corrosion, impregnated out clothes, towels and bed sheets with aluminum and aluminum oxide for years then shattered during the high speed spin cycle.
Miele corporate, didn’t want to hear anything about it, couldn’t care less.
I will never buy a Miele again.
I've got the W1 Excellence---haven't used it yet....where does this fit in to the machines you've featured here? thanks
Hi was planning on purchasing but then i read they trip the gfci and my electrician said that gfci is code. Is Miele addressing this for US customers?
As of 2022 the basket is now a 75.00 accessory (additional cost) for the TXI680WP
How much clearance should there be on each side if the washer is fit under the counter?
(4/4) When you are choosing a dropoff location for your items, what are the most important things for you to know? (Select all that apply)
Time it takes at the store to complete my return
The distance to a drop off location
If there is free parking at the location
The store hours of the location
How can I make a better use of my trip (e.g. Can I shop for groceries/clothing/medicines near to the location?)
Will there be any coupons offered because I returned at this store
Will I get a receipt after I dropoff my return
Thanks for this video! Do you know if the condensed water is okay to drain out via a regular washer drain receptacle? And would it mess up a septic system?
Yes you can drain it using the washer drain and no it’s not dangerous to septic systems. It’s just water.
Have you done a review for an integrated washer/dryer unit? We're looking for one for our master closet, and I'd love your thoughts!
I can do one for you, they're not worth the money.
I had a dual Washer/Dryer when I lived in Singapore for a few months back in 2016. Can't remember the brand, it was in the apartment when I moved in, possibly Samsung?
Doesn't matter, the wash/dry cycle took over 4 hours, almost 5. Once the wash is finished, there's a long, long, long time before the drying starts while the drum dries itself out and the clothes just sit there locked in.
The time it takes just isn't as convenient as just putting your clothes in a separate drying machine, I could have dried it in the Singapore heat outside in less time if the drum didn't lock my clothes in. Plus the energy cost to run the washer so long really starts to add up. Especially when you could wash, then dry, using two machines, in under 2 hours.
Sure it was convenient for the small space, I don't think there was even enough room for a dryer in my tiny rental apartment. But apart from that, I can't recommend a dual washer/dryer simply for the washing time, and the crazy cost of running the machine half the night. If you know Singapore you know it's hot and humid, you'll sweat like crazy, and you'll be doing daily washing. It wasn't a lot of fun waiting till after midnight for the machine to stop making noises so I could sleep every single night.
In short, do yourself a favour if the room in your place allows it, and just buy two separate machines.
@@VitZ9 thanks! We actually lived in London for a couple of years and had one there too. We're renovating our laundry space here in the US, and we'll have separate machines in there, but I wanted to get a third machine in our closet that does both - it doesn't work well for everything, but it was great for putting in a load of socks/underware etc. at bedtime and waking up to clean and dry clothes.
Yes I had one when I lived in Glasgow about 30-years ago and when we were looking for a new set my now husband was freaking out! He was incredulous! He was like who knew this even existed. When I was telling him about the machine it was like a Monty Python skit. But the unvented dryer is such a drawback. To go back to a dryer that doesn’t steam for me is a definite no go. I will never go back and you can’t get a steam dryer in an all-in-one unit. Best of luck.
Looking at Miele washer dryer for Rv
110 volt for both units .
What models do you recommend?
Also When would be best price time to buy
Good question. Here's a few portable washers we recommend for RV's: www.designerappliances.com/blog/portable-washing-machine/. We also have a separate article dedicated to finding the best times to buy appliances. Our rule of thumb is holidays (President's Day is coming up) but some holidays have better savings than others. See here: www.designerappliances.com/blog/appliance-sales/
How high up are the controls when this is stacked?
Question regarding the washers w/TwinDos. Can you disable the TwinDos on certain loads? By this I mean, the TwinDos detergent I assume is a standard soap detergent suitable for most cotton and permanent press garments. We wear and wash a lot of merino wool, alpaca and similar that we run on “delicate” cycles in our current LG with wool detergent. If the TwinDos models can also accommodate the CapDos units and disable the TwinDos from usage on select cycles, that’s ideal. We also do not use fabric softener on wool cycles, it’s typically not recommended by the apparel manufacturer. Can this too be disabled for those loads. If so, does this require creating special program? What model numbers are applicable?
Thank you
Yes, you have three choices on the TwinDos models: TwinDos detergents (they sell a couple different types depending on where you live in the world), CapDos for the "special" laundry loads and using the regular detergent compartment. There are buttons of the front panel to select which detergent compartment you want to use so you don't need to remove the TwinDos containers when not being used.
You can, but the machine comes with a highly allergenic UltraPhase 1 detergent, so your machine and everything in and around it will be smelling with that stink. Cleaning and replacing with Sensitive one does not help as the TwinDos pipes are already contaminated.
Yes you can deactivate the twin dos, I'm using W1 860 it does have a wool program, you just press twin dos to deactivate and put woolcare detergent in a detergent dispenser .
MIEL entry level in the UK is WEA025 at £729 7 Kilos load (John Lewis) its the only MIEL i could just about effort, I decided on a MIEL cause 3 mates have MIEL W/M n their WM have all been excellent for years the problem of course is they all have much higher price WM than I could effort, is their entry lever as or nearly as reliable as their more up market models? any Ideas will be much appreciated thanks
Why oh why oh why, do Miele make it so hard to work out what the different models do, their model numbers are cryptic beyond comprehension, and they remove previous models from their website as soon as the new models appear to have been released. It's a real pain.
This is every appliance company, stores offer a "price match" guarantee but you can never find the "identical" model at another store, it is al deliberate
My Miele washer from about 2008 worked flawlessly. I thought it had a bad main bearing but turns out it was just the shock absorbers which were cheap and easy to replace. I checked the main bearing and both it and the seal were totally intact. However, before I tore it apart and found all this out, I bought a new W1. It's very disappointing because unlike the old one ,this new one fails on two points. If you try to use the prewash function, it faults after the prewash but before it goes to the main wash. It throws an "intake error" code. It also fails on the "add laundry" function. Half the time it won't even let you add laundry. When it does allow you to add laundry, and you press the start button to resume the program, it throws the "intake error" fault code. My retailer took it back and brought a replacement and it functions exactly the same! This certainly appears to be a design flaw. When you open the door it drips down the front of the machine, my old one didn't do that. I still have the old one and may put it back in service. I was a rabid Miele fan before this, I have a dishwasher from the mid 2000's and it still works flawlessly. But this W1 washer is a sad specimen. And my old Miele Touchtronic dryer still works perfectly. I won't change it out for a new one ever as long as I can get parts for it.
My W1 does not have either error and functions flawlessly.
Probably made of chinesium
How much longer would an 8 lb load of towels take to dry in a Miele heat pump dryer than in a conventional vented dryer?
With my experience 8 years or longer.
@@JACKSONLEWISOFCANADA - 8 years?
80 minutes
What full-size washer and dryer did Elyse go with for her basement?
I have the TXR860WP dryer. Mostly, I love it but I am having difficulty drying bamboo sheets, king and queen sizes. In less than a minute, they ball up and thump around in the dryer. I understand that there is a 'gadget' for this exact problem.....who knew....but it isn't effective with bamboo fabric. I've tried tying the corners together. I've tried various settings, too, with no luck. Any suggestions? Thank you.
Program Bed Linen
@@Drakon9 Bed linen program is the worst.
@@leslienixon2534 With us Miele TXD160 since 05/28/2022. We dry the bed on this program 90-100 minutes. Hello from Richmond. CA.
I definitely prefer the old school knobs too. This compares to the trend in modern cars where touch screen controls replaced physical controls to cut costs while masquerading as an advanced feature. Nobody liked it, and now the old physical controls have become the new premium feature.
Which of these appliance can you use on motorhomes
Good question. Here's a few portable washers we recommend for RV's: www.designerappliances.com/blog/portable-washing-machine/
Do these dryers require the use of the included drain hose for continually draining condensation water or can the water be drained manually out the front in-between loads? I want to install the dryer in a closet without any access to water drainage.
Either works: there is a water tank at the top which can be emptied, and there is a hose which you can connect if you the pipes/sink are close enough. No vent system needed.
If the dryer has an 8lbs capacity does that mean if I wash the full capacity that the washer can handle (16lbs) I would need to dry it in 2 separate dryer cycles?
Not necessarily -- it depends on the items. I can wash a blanket or set of sheets that fill the whole washer and dry it fine. With clothing, I usually want to give items more space to tumble. Not a problem for me since I air-dry lots of my clothes. I did a full load of my husband's jeans and pants (7-8 pairs) last night and they dried just fine.
I would get it
Don’t run away!
Will this washer and dryer wash a King size comforter?
Yes.
Not really.
I would go to the laundromat for a larger capicity...and washability.
To much stress and to compact for drop and lefting action. 👋💦
Anyone here have the miele wwd 120 8kg model? Only hate how there’s no buzzer! So I manually put my alarm on my phone!
Why doesn't my T1 dryer dry very hot?
It is a heat pump versus a conventional electric heater. It runs cooler.
Never talked about capacity.
Why selling price in Canada is much much higher than in the U.S.? Too bad.
I can think of at least 2 reasons: 1. Currency exchange rate (1 USD = 1.25 CAD) and 2. shipping costs & tariffs are usually higher for the Canadian market.
How is this a "review" and not a sales pitch?
a) she said she didn't like the most expensive ones and b) she gave some of the downsides
@@noneofyourbusiness4616 She's "reviewing" products she doesn't actually own, or likely have ever used from a showroom.
@@Davegvg3576 Most non-amateur reviewers of products don't own the items they review. They are sent test units that they have to return. Your speculation that she hasn't used the item is a complete guess based on nothing.
@@noneofyourbusiness4616 There isn't a shred of evidence to show she's done anything more than stand in an isle of washers (not even in front of a miele notice) at a store and quote specs. Beyond that its just stock footage edited together.
This is an an OVERVIEW, not a review.
@@Davegvg3576 there's not a shred of evidence that she hasn't used them either
My W1 Miele is falling apart after less than 7 years... the tripod behind the drum is made of a very weak material. Miele's "last for decades" is no longer true.
2 pairs? Why?
Larger families. ✋
@@Dwashwisewater no. That can't be it. There not also larger machines as machines can do multiple loads per day... It is certainly some other reason but thank you for your input!
@@TheAllMightyGodofCod
But it will speed up laundry time even with my inexpensive laundry pair here two small washers only 10 pounds each actually 14 pounds .
But one is doing whites while the other dark or other fabrics . The bottleneck now is my other dryer that went . I did see a nice Miele pair on practically new and probably much better built .
Was a Touchtronic pair at Offer UP...
For 450.00 Was pissed I could not get them . Long time Miele fan.
Or Any European front loader .
Had a Asko top of the line washer at a 220 v and loved it for years .
Love the flexibility.
Temps . High wash temps.
High speed spins at 1600 RPM's.
For cottons ..towels.
Americans don't fuse with high temps. But it sure does get clothes cleaner and brighter without bleach.
But even bleaching is fine with so little to use if needed. I can remember the Miele 1918 washer .
Before the honeycomb drum .
Still a fantastic washer with more options. That makes sense.
That was in 1993. 2 washers 2 dishwashes seems to be the trend in some designer make up these days .
I like 2.
Peace . ✋💦🙂🇺🇸
@@Dwashwisewater sorry, but I am not going to read your long text with your personal reasons.
It is too long, I don't have time. Cheers
@@TheAllMightyGodofCod
No worries. ☺️😏
I have two Mieles - multiple faults, one replace after purchase. Overpriced piece of crap ....
Seriously considering getting these. Do you mind sharing what the faults were in your machines?
@@jnine28 I had Miele washer and dryer back from 2009. The washer stopped working a year ago. Repair cost for the broken drum is quoted at about $500. I then bought a Samsung washer but kind of regretted it. It's like getting a Toyota after you're used to driving a Mercedes.
@@agnesf2659 thats a poor comparison since mercedes breaks more than toyota
@@arni291 Really? I had a MB and my husband a Toyota, neither ever gave us any issues. I will say the Toyota was 8 years old and we just sold it for what we paid, with 45k miles on it, due to the lack of new inventory. The 2010 MB was sold to a friend who is still driving it w/o issues six years later.
