Miele W1 Washing Machines! What's it all About?

Miele Release the W1 Washing Machine Range

 

It's been a while since Miele has dramatically changed their washing machine range, March 2014 sees Miele do this with the release of their W1 washing machine range. 

So, what's new? 

For starters "The Design", Miele have come away from their two previous designs to merge them together in a round about kind of way. They now offer either a ChromeEdition or WhiteEdition, of which, both lines are similar but do have subtle design differences.
The ChromeEdition Miele W1 washing machines have a classic look with a large chrome door and can come with a straight or slanted fascia. WhiteEdition W1 Miele washing machines have a slightly more modern look with a large white door with chrome trim. The WhiteEdition machines also have a slightly bowed front and chrome finishes on the dial, buttons, drawer and controls.

"The Controls" the Miele W1 washing machines come with one of two control panels, either a 4 line liquid crystal display and touch buttons or a 1 line LCD display with touch buttons depending on which model you are looking into.

What "Features" are new? CapDosing, this is a feature that allows for one time use capsules to be used for special fabrics such as wool, silks, sportwear and re-proofing which require special detergent care. The Miele W1 washing machines also have a PowerWash system that allows for intense drenching of your washing along with a lower energy consumption, that improves cleaning and energy consumption by 10%. TwinDos, this means you can top your machine up with up to 3 months worth of detergent and conditioner for it to be dispensed automatically.

What Else? This new range of washing machines have larger drum capacities, either 8kg or 9kg (Miele's largest domestic washer drum size to date). They all come with a 1600 max spin speed and energy ratings of A+++ and will all have a 5 Year warranty to start with.

How to Choose? Now this bit could be tricky, first things first, which design would you prefer? 

ChromeEdition

Or

WhiteEdition

That was probably the easiest bit. Now the next thing is do you need a 8kg drum or a 9kg drum? If you only need a small drum the choice is fairly wide there are 3 options in ChromeEdition and 3 options in the WhiteEdition. If it's the 9kg drum you are after the options in Chrome are the WKR570 WPS or the WKR770 WPS, and in White you will have one option of the WMR560 WPS.

You should then look at the features you think you would want. If you want Programme Manager, which gives you five programme options: Intensive, Eco, Extra Gentle, Extra Quiet and AllergoWash, im Chrome you have a wdie range of options but if this doesn't interest you simply go for the WKG120, or in White it is the WMG120.
