Miele washing machines: features, pros and cons, rating of the best models

Planning the arrangement of furniture and appliances at home is a responsible task. It must be solved competently and rationally so that living in a house or apartment is comfortable. Each thing needs to find its place, especially if it has rather large dimensions. So, it is better to foresee the characteristics of the washing machine in advance, otherwise you may encounter difficulties when you have to look for a unit with individual parameters. Let's find out what the dimensions of the Miele washing machine are. This will help you navigate the layout of the room and choose the appropriate equipment.

A few words about the manufacturer

The Miele & Cie company was opened in 1899, and initially the production of milk separators was launched. Only 4 years later, the owners of the brand - Reinhard Zinkann and Karl Miele - began producing household appliances. Thus, a manual washing machine was introduced to the market, and already in 1910 an electric one with spinning capability was introduced.

Now the German brand owns 8 factories in Germany and production in the Czech Republic and Austria. The owners of the company managed, through constant improvement, to create equipment that combines reliability, efficiency and ease of use. The high quality of the products has been awarded many awards. Thus, in 2007, Miele & Cie surpassed Porshe and Google, becoming the most successful and efficient company.

Features of Miele washing machines

The brand is constantly working to improve technical characteristics. Today, washing machines are equipped with a number of innovations that distinguish them from other products. » width=»700″ height=»501″[/img] Among the features of Miele appliances:

1. Motor ProfiEco. The company has developed a brushless permanent magnet motor. It consumes less energy and makes the tank rotate at high speed. Its high quality ensures long service life without maintenance. In addition, the innovative motor maintains silence throughout all washing stages.
2. Twin Dos. The option automatically dispenses detergents. One of the best product distribution systems ensures effective cleansing of both white and colored items. You can use both branded gels and products from third-party brands. The device automatically measures the required dose of conditioner and detergent at the optimal time.
3. Cap Dosing. This development is used to wash items made from delicate fabrics. To gently remove stains from wool or silk, you will need special capsules. They need to be placed in the air conditioning compartment, the system will automatically activate them at the right time. Miele offers the user a choice of 6 types of stain removal capsules; stubborn stains are removed with a special product. Three types of conditioner will refresh your laundry (Aqua, Nature, Cocoon).
4. Comfort Lift. The option is available for devices with a vertical loading type; it ensures opening in one click. It is enough to press only one button to open the outer and inner doors.
5. Eco Feed Back. The function allows you to monitor resource consumption. The system calculates the amount of energy and water that will be spent on the cycle according to the selected program. All information is reflected on the display; after the end of the wash, the total resources used are summed up.
6. Honeycomb drum. The structure of the inner surface of the tank allows spinning at high speeds without damaging the fabric. The surface of the drum visually resembles a net or honeycomb, creating a thin surface of water between the drum and the laundry. Things are protected from excessive friction by the resulting film. The walls of the tank are covered with small polished holes, preventing the occurrence of puffs and pellets. This structure prevents small objects from entering the drain pump.
7. The equipment is equipped with a display on which information will be displayed. For ease of use, the brand has made the controls multilingual. Just select the appropriate language in the menu; they are indicated by flags.
8. Mobile frame. This development is built into all top-loading washing machines. The device has built-in retractable casters, making it easy to move. Thanks to this, the model can be installed under the tabletop, and, if necessary, you can pull out and put laundry in the tank. This allows you to save space and use it as efficiently as possible.
9. [email protected] The development simplifies the use of devices, as it allows them to be controlled remotely. The system will collect data on the status of the product, informing the user through notifications. For example, if detergents are running low, a message about this will be sent to the mobile device.
10. The option allows you to add laundry during the washing period. Moreover, the possibility of additional loading remains, even at the later stages of the cycle. The hatch can be unlocked with just one click “Start/Add laundry”.
11. Connection to the hot water supply system. The manufacturer has designed many models with the ability to connect to hot water. This will reduce energy costs.
