Miele touchronic W 4840 D t 9800

by C. V.
(Cupertino)

I have a house full of Miele products, dishwasher, doulbe ovens, warming drawer, etc.. This is the only Miele product that I would not recommend. The washing maching does clean well, but at a price. The inside plastic ring has to be wiped down after use, otherwise mold will form along with smelling up your clothes. There is always water left in the soap container- poor design.

The machine sound like a jet airplane landing when in the spin cycle. If you dont have a separate room with a door to close off the sound I would not recommend this machine. And the regular load takes well over an hour to finish. I have had the company out many times and they cant not do anything about the standing water and mold issue. Better to wait till they redesign this model.

The dryer is also loud. And the lint holder drops lint into a very deep pocket and you can not reach it to pull it out! The repair guy said to to buy a special tool and try to dig it out. Very poor design for a Germany engineering. I have had the pair for 1 year, live in Northern Calif, paid a fortune for them and would not buy them again.

star 		Buy the German soap
by: Anonymous

After 2 years with the machines, I would recommend buying the german soap Persil. It has made a hugh difference in the smell of the clothes. I purchase 20 pounds at a time and it last forever! You only need 1 Tab. of powder per load. I also recommend buying the powder one designed for color clothes, the clothes come out looking like new. It cost alot, but last along time and most of the internet sites will throw in the shipping cost. Your family will thank you.

starstarstarstarstar 		Don't buy miele washer
by: Anonymous

This washer cost too much, does not clean well and will wear your clothes out even when you go strictly by the directions. I phoned the dealer who sold it to me (Seattle) but they didn't have anything to say even after telling me how great a machine it was when I was shopping there before the purchase. I phoned the company and they just asked if I was using too much soap (I wasn't.) Don't buy this washer unless you just want to own an expensive appliance and don't mind dull clothes that might smell afterward.

I have these exact same machines.. i would not recommend as well.. Dryer has hard time drying clothes, had tech out to adjust.. not much better.
However, stay away from the washing machine.. they have a design flaw (call them, they will verify).. if you use liquid detergent, the detergent tray will pop out 1/4" during the cycle.. it may not happen at first, but we have two sets of friends with same machine and theirs is doing it now.. you get leaking on the floor.. Miele's response is they are going to try to redesign the tray (have list of customers with probelm) but use powder detergent for now.. nice solution for a supposed 'premium' product.. beware.
