Bosch vs Miele
Comments (36)Remodel, Miele invented the 3rd rack if I remember correctly. Asko had them in their machines for many years too. The salt conditioner is built into the machine. I have fairly normal water and I fill the tank every 14months or so. It is a really easy process. I move the bottom rack out of the way, loosen the salt reservoir top and put in the funnel supplied by Miele. I dump in the salt and reverse my steps. In under 5minutes you are done. Bosch does not have a water softener as far as I know. I personally don't like the heated dry because I lost a couple of container tops that dropped into the heating element and made the house stink in a previous KA for many months. I like the air dry and don't really have an issue with plastics not drying. Granted, apart from the tops of glass storage containers, I don't have a lot of plastic in every load. Good luck with your choice!...See MoreTo Miele or not to Miele?
Comments (14)@ nerdyshopper I don't quite agree with your assessment. Granted, the Miele W48X0 had some growing pains, but the next generation - W48X2 and matching dryers - resolved most, if not all remaining issues. If I remember, Miele was quite responsive in repairing and/or replacing affected machines. My T9802 dryer was replaced due to a noise that was difficult to diagnose. The noise was just an annoyance, but Miele replaced it without any fuss. My W4842 washer has been working flawlessly now for almost 2 years. I am extremely happy with Miele support and how they have resolved my particular issue - which, to be frank, was just a minor annoyance and not something that affected the unit's performance in any way. The other fact to consider is that people come to these forums when they have problems - not when they are satisfied with an appliance. So there will always be a preponderance of complaints here....See MoreForget Miele, just get TL Speed Queen and have no problems!
Comments (71)Taking a chance and resurrecting this VERY old thread to ask a question about SpeedQueen - Don't want to risk being slammed for not choosing Miele. We are Miele fans - have half of all kitchen appliances from Miele - and were definitely considering a Miele laundry pair all along until I read this thread - I'm mostly concerned with the amount of time it takes for a Miele cycle, and since we have hired help doing most of the laundry, i'm worried that the helpers / maids will mess up with the complicated set of setting options on the Miele (and end up using the wrong temperatures etc!). We can't get residential models of Speed Queen where we are - but the local Commercial Speed Queen dealer (actually, Huebsch since we're in Canada) offered a commercial TL model that seems to have enough cycle settings to suit our needs. My question is, is anyone here familiar with the model ******YWN311 of Huebsch*******? The spec sheet says washtub volume is 3.3 cu ft - how does that compare to the "per kg" measurement that's used by, say, Miele? Any comments on whether these Speed Queen / Huebsch commercial machines would get "too rough" on fabrics? We're generally just washing sweatshirts, T shirts, school uniforms, beddings, towels etc. I'm not the type to put any delicates or sweaters into laundry machines. We haven't totally given up on Miele yet ... well-meant, constructive suggestions (on how to fool proof our machines to not be misused by hired helpers) are welcome. You'd be wasting your breath if you tell me to "go do my own laundry on the Miele" LOL. On the other hand, I'd like to quote a very smart friend of mine from when we attended together a Miele demo session), "if i'm THAT worried about a piece of garment, I'd just either hand-wash it or take it to dry cleaning"....See MoreCycle times on Miele 4840 washer
Comments (4)Who waits around for the washer to finish anyway. I always step away and do other stuff and find the laundry has been done for a while when I pull it out. The 1 hour cycle times are nothing to truly worry about. Besides, unless you are returning to a top loader, most front loaders have longer cycle times so it may be something everyone will eventually have to adapt to as top loader are going the way of the dinosaur. Also, don't forget that you get better cleaning with the gentlest action with front loaders - - especially with the Miele cycles and special wash drum....See Morejasonblue
