Miele W 5748

this washing machine is going to cope with a lot of washes, I know this because I already have one

with my other older machine the filter flap refused to stay closed and the guarantee did not cover this issue

Good quality, and a step up from my previous washing machine, which was also German made. Love the stainless steel look, and works well having this in my kitchen.

Little noisy on the spin cycle

How dry the washing is at the end of a cycle!

20 min quick cycle

Doesn't have a 60' quick cycle

You can whisper and be heard on full spin - normally

Annoying Squeak on spin from the front panel. You would think that when you spend way over a thousand pounds, a squeaky panel would not exist. Its an expensive headache. Although I am sure it must be an individual case.

Low noise. Easy to use. Reliable.

No bad points at the moment.

- Extremely well built - No rocking or knocking. Has Cast Iron inside as opposed to concrete used in cheaper machines. This does make it heavy. - Great capacity. - Excellent results from all cycles. - Easy to use functions that are intuitive. - Quiet...

- As it has cast iron inside, the machine is *very* heavy meaning it's not easily manoeuvrable. Not really a bad point, but worth knowing. - No timer settings for delaying or scheduling cycle times. - This is a very expensive machine.
