I got my Miele W1 washer and T1 dryer in January 2019 and they are an exceptional combo. Washer works great and my white t-shirts have never been whiter. The dryer is excellent and takes no more time to dry than the vented Whirlpool I replaced. There does appear to be a bug in the washer - probably a glitch in the motherboard. When I try to use the prewash function the washer will stop and say "water intake problem, " although the intake is fine. I simply turned it off and restart a "normal" cycle and it's fine. Other than that little glitch, machine is solid (you really don't need prewash anyway). Also, if you use Express mode and set soil to "light, " you have a 20 minute short wash cycle. Last, if you have dirty work rags or towels, use the Sanitize wash cycle. It's 3 hours and the water gets really hot but your towels come out nice and clean.

We have Miele and we are on year 23, family of 5 and without a service call

I have Miele WCE320 1400 spin. When using the PowerWash function, this machine washes clothes exceptionally well - better results than my older Miele W3444 model.
I also have the T1 Miele heat pump dryer - very economical to use.

Bought Miele W1 and T1 in January 2020. Expensive for certain but high quality and a total of $500 with state and Miele rebates. Very happy consumer here!

Made the big mistake of buying Bosch (most premium model) after leaving my amazing 12 year old Miele’s behind when we moved country. Bosch is not comparable to Miele machines. Lots of functions not available, no soak function, poor stain removal. The dryer does not reverse tumble so sheets crumple into a ball and dry unevenly. Hate them. Will be buying Miele when we move home again next year.

I purchased Bosch when moving into our new home in 2019. The purchase was for a Washing Machine, condenser dryer with heat pump, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. The fridge part of the fridge freezer kept freezing things so that had to be replaced after 18months, a lot of hassle and having to contact Bosch numerous times. The washing machine went wrong at three years old and even though it was just out of the standard warranty with about thirty phone calls to Bosch and a lot of hassle we got a new machine, but it took six weeks to arrive.

I definitely would consider Miele over Bosch, Bosch apparently are better than cheap brands. However Miele is apparently top of the line, now I believe it would have been worth the extra money.

Originally got a bosch washer found out after only 3 weeks you get what you pay for it locked up and we couldn’t open it returned it and then brought a wwr 870 Miele now this was a good machine but had issues after we got a replacement in the end a wwr 860 which is perfect it works amazing full touch screen 25 washing modes love the machine it removes stains so well.

For an European this comparison is a little amusing.
Miele is a premium brand while Bosch is just a regular brand.

[TheAllMightyGodofCod]

Just ordered a new Miele Twc560 wp heat pump dryer. Let's see how it performs.
Bosch is good but I think Miele is better.
If you don't have the extra cash, don't over think it and buy a Bosch. They are usually very close in reliability and performance.

For myself I'm going all the way with Miele

[臺灣是國家臺灣是國家]

Never had any problems with any of our 17 Miele appliances....👍🏻☺️

[paddybm]

the pictures don't math the models. It's almost criminal. You showed the most basic miele washer when you talked about the most expensive one...

[noah-kotlarek]

love the background music, just got a Miele w1 & t1 excellence

[whichwasher]

weve had heat pumps in the UK since around 2007 (the first being Electrolux, followed very closely by Bosch) I've had them personally since 2011, and i will not go back. Heat pumps can be made bigger so Bosch and whirlpool could make a 'American' sized heat pump dryer to match their 'American' sized Front load washers. at the minute the Bosch and Miele's on sale here are just European imports.

[friedmule]

May I please ask you about the Bosch washing machines?
I have heard the drum is only turning one way around, meaning that pants, sheets and so on, can look like a twisted rope when the clothes are taken out, while other brands, alternate between the two direction and thereby avoid "rope" clothes? :-)

My Miele is 4 years and I love it so my vote is a Miele!

[mattstroker]

@Yale Applicance Is AEG a brand that's being sold over there in the US? Or is that maybe sold under a different name over there? It's part of the Electrolux Group, I think. Here in the EU Bosch and Miele are considered to be the top brands also. I am very pleased with your channel and the data it provides. Am I correct in remembering, from another video, you get about 40K service calls each year in total for all brands? Or are those 40K on-site calls? I'm wondering which brand has the best percentage when calls that need someone on-site are considered solely. I would guess that Bosch and Miele still end up close together but that assumption could be very wrong, of course.

[imjustplayinwithya]

I found one to be incorrect, i.e. my WDB 030WCS W1 classic has a shortest cycle of 20 minutes, so only 5 minutes longer than Bosch. Thanks to your videos I have recently become a bit freak when it comes to Miele ;) Nevertheless, again again and again what a great review. I hope that you’re making record sale of washers during the lock down ;) All the best!

[janstafford]

I appreciate very much your comparison. I have gradually replaced every kitchen appliance with a Bosch. Very happy with them. Now I need a new washer and dryer for my old bright red Samsung laundry set that lasted me 13 years! If I hadn’t started using too much detergent I may have gotten more years out of it. Anyway, what to buy now? I want 1) reliable that 2) cleans well. May I ask your recommendation?

[Thepreacher]

V-zug is the best by far.
The problem is its cost.
Lots of people never herd on this brand because of its cost.
