Miele washing machines: 111 years of innovation

More than a century ago, in 1901, the first hand-powered washing machine was invented. It was created by a start-up company Miele. Over the years, Miele has become one of the leading manufacturers of home appliances and gained a reputation as a recognized expert in laundry care. At the end of 2012, to mark the 111th anniversary of the first washing machine, the company presented a special series of anniversary washing machines under the name of Edition 1111.

Edition 111 ā€“ Washing with perfection

New Miele W 3370 WCS and W 5872 WCS washing machines combined the most effective developments of the company, ensuring unsurpassed washing quality and gentle care for laundry.

Washing with care

The hallmark of Miele washing machines is the patented honeycomb drum, the surface of which consists of small hexagons, the shape of a bee honeycomb. The main advantage of this unique solution is the increased washing quality: a thin film of water is formed between the laundry and the drum walls, on which the laundry gently glides. It prevents puckering and distortion of fabric, even at high drum speeds.

The perfect wash

The machines wash with the highest washing class A.

A special programmable Stain option on the new Miele W 5872 WCS effectively tackles six different types of dirt. Before washing just select the type of stains by adding it to the washing program, and the most suitable mode will start automatically.

Customized

A set of programs2 of the new washing machines takes into account all the modern needs of housewives. One of the exclusive developments of Miele ā€“ patented program Automatic Plus ā€“ allows you to not accumulate several types of laundry, and carefully and thoroughly wash together, for example, products made of cotton and delicate fabrics.

With the Express 20 wash cycle, lightly soiled cloths can be tidied in just 20 minutes, saving time.

The Shirts programme extends the life of collars and cuffs and makes ironing shirts much easier.

The new models also have a care mode for the most popular kind of clothes ā€“ jeans. The Jeans/Dark Clothes program keeps fabrics from losing color, leaves no detergent residue and prevents streaks and creases.

The Hygiene program significantly reduces dust mites and bacteria in fabrics by raising the water level in the drum and maintaining a certain temperature, while the appropriate wash and rinse modes help get rid of allergy-causing particles.

Save

The Miele W 5872 WCS offers the EcoFeedback3 function, which informs about the predicted and actual consumption of electricity and water when using different programs, allowing you to fully control the use of resources. Before you start the washing just need to request the forecast of water and electricity consumption for a particular program.

Delayed start function enables to postpone the start of the program for up to 24 hours which is especially useful at preferential electricity and water tariffs.

Always clean

Our special programs Cotton Eco for 40Ā°C and 60Ā°C and Minimum Ironing for 20Ā°C take care of your delicates. To avoid the build up of bacteria and bad odours that inevitably occur in a washing machine when using low temperature modes, the new models have a special indicator ā€˜Hygiene Infoā€™. It promptly informs about the need to start the washing program at a temperature not lower than 60 Ā° C to sanitize the washing machine.

Anniversary models offer a lot of additional functions, which make the maintenance of the appliances much easier. The patented wash detergent compartment with AutoClean4 automatically rinses out with a high pressure water spray and always stays clean.

Intelligent control

The washing machines control system is very simple, intuitive and easy to understand even for the most inexperienced user, thanks to the American-speaking interface.

The new models are equipped with the most modern safety systems including the full watercontrol leakage protection, overvoltage protection, self-diagnosis function and the W 5872 WCS ā€“ child lock and PIN code protection. The service test program allows you to quickly troubleshoot problems with the appliance.

Miele washers and dryers, like other Miele appliances, are built to last up to 20 years, as proven through rigorous testing and quality control.

When drying laundry becomes art

In addition to the washing machines, the jubilee Edition 111 also includes two dryers: The condensation dryer T 8812 C and the heat pump dryer T 8860 WP. The most important advantages are the patented PerfectDry4 and condensate drainage systems.

During drying, the unique PerfectDry system continuously measures residual moisture levels, determines water conductivity and optimizes the drying program according to the type of laundry to ensure the best results and gentle care. That way your laundry never dries out and retains optimal moisture levels. The integrated condensate drainage system with a special drain hose makes the appliance easy to care for: no more need for the user to empty the bowl manually. If necessary, the hose can be routed directly to the sink or connected to a siphon pipe.

Unique Drum

Just like washing machines, Miele dryers have a special honeycomb drum, but with the hexagonal sides facing outwards. This creates tiny air pockets inside the drum, acting as a kind of softening cushion for the laundry. The result is less creases and much easier ironing.

Two is better than one

Another new feature is the smart TwinPower5 system, which uses two separate motors ā€“ one for the drying drum and one for the blower. This system provides an incredibly gentle treatment of textiles, drying them evenly and reducing the number of wrinkles.

Saving drying

The T 8860 WP has a heat pump, which significantly reduces energy consumption and makes drying more economical. Delayed start function allows you to postpone the start of the program for up to 24 hours, which allows you to use electricity at a reduced night tariff.

Comfort at any time of day

Miele dryers are designed to minimize the noise produced by the airflow and vibration of the machine. That means that the dryer can be used at any time of day or night.
