We considered and weighed up long and always came back to the W5873. I had flirted alternatively with a device of the new generation (eg Miele WKG130WPS), but the benefits of the edition 111 have then but predominated:
+ FU-drive (especially used in industry) is wear
+ 8 kg capacity, machine regulates automatically according to load condition the water and energy consumption
+ Extremely quiet, there's even a program that minimizes noise again (eg if you want to wash at night)
+ Honeycomb honeycomb drum is better to wash (with my old washing machine I do not have often noticed hurl after that were seen in the wet wash "footprints" of the drum)
+ Countless programs: Jeans on outdoor stain treatment, and more
+ Good value for money (for a Miele appliance)
Was negative, but not annoying for me
- 98 kg with relatively high weight (well, it is bomb-proof, the machine, there is little vibration), but I do not often relocating to the machine
We have our washer sourced locally when friendly Miele dealer, he has given us a few tips that I would like to share:
- The additional flushing of the business case is indeed already handy with regular use of liquid detergent it advises to pour it directly onto the laundry. To me, it sounds logical, because if all the soup has to run completely through the washing machine every time, residues are of course not excluded. If the dosing of the liquid detergent, a few drops go wrong, it is already difficult to rub off the dried detergent with the cloth. How is this possible (without huge water-effort) else in the machine?
- As far as is often washed at low temperatures, you should in between washing clothes at 60 or 90 degrees to prevent bacterial contamination. The machine thinks and remembers well the low washes - after a certain number of washes automatically proposes the program machine cleaning.
- The typical additives such as Calognit are probably pretty useless. Whether they are used or not - the washing machine calcified. The Miele dealer advises instead about every 6 months to use a professional descaler. That would be cheaper and more effective than the Calgon promise.
- The sanitary version causes the laundry is washed for about 20 minutes at a constant 60 degrees. Especially with diseases, the program is good to be nice to wash everything clean.
- As far as dark clothing with powder detergent is washed or you are allergic to detergents or fabric softeners, you should switch as an additional program plus water. The laundry is then rinsed better. The typical white marks on dark jeans are so passé.
Compared to its predecessor (Siemens) I have yet to find no complaints and am always happy about the phenomenal washing results.
