Miele touchtronic W4840

by Sadriddin
(Nashville, TN)

This is the best washing machine I've ever owned, cannot compare it to Whirpool Duet or LG Tromm washers. It cleans perfectly, very gentle on delicates and knittens.

It is also babyproof because of the lock, no other high end washer brands has this feature! Cleans and satitizes cottons and towels. My white clothes became even whiter! Spin is great, leaves clothes wrinkleless.

I wish it had also steam wash, steam fresh and allergiene cycles. Other than that this is quality product, expect using it for the next 20 years.

I loved using Miele commercial washers in Europe, these washers are super smart. They automatically detect soil level and laundry weight, you just have to select the cycle, it automatically sets the required time! Be it 20 minites or an hour, your clothes come out fresh, super clean, no detergent residue, wrinkleless, etc

Design is flawless and attractive. Second best for me will be Whirpool Duet steam washer. LG tromm is flimsy, most people buy it after watching brainwashing commercials.

A 4.0 cubic foot stainless steel Honeycomb wash drum, eleven, count' em, eleven, MASTERCARE Wash Programs, and a built-in water heater, the Miele W4840 Super Capacity Washer shows no mercy to the likes of mud, grease, or grime. 24 hour delay start even allows you to leave the house when things get ugly.

The Miele W4840 is Energy Star compliant, which sounds great. What does it mean, though? In a nutshell, Energy Star is a government-backed program helping businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior energy efficiency.

Buy something simple
by: L. Garner

If I can talk one person out of buying this machine, I will consider I have done a service to mankind. This washer is much too complex and the instruction booklet does not help in that it too is complex and unclear in its explanations. I have wasted untold amounts of time on trying to understand how this runs-to no avail. I would donate it to charity just to stop the pain but it turns out that the warranty will not be honored if I do so. Buy something simple!!!!

Good washer but bad customer service
by: Anonymous

Good washer but company service stinks.

Our 22 month old machine broke fri night.
Per the manual we had to call tech support which reopened Monday

they issue a trouble ticket and the repair branch calls 48 hours later.

They offer a tech visit next Wed- 10 days after it broke.

If it were Kenmore I could have had it fixed next day.

Poor design and loud
by: Anonymous

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.
