Wow now I am yellous. How nice it looks and great for getting through alot of laundry quickly. I had som trouble with my dryer and had to take it apart, took forever to dry a load of towles and after 2 hours it still said 1,45 h on the display. With the help of my neibour we took it apart(he has done it before with his dryer, the same model as your condenser). We found nothing but alot of dust and the 2 weels the drum runs on in the from had left residue on the drum so it sounded like dadonk dadonk dadonk as the drum went around but after a good vaccuming and scrapeing of rubber it runs so much better and hopefully it will run for another 10 years of trouble free service. You ok, here it has been a week af alot of snow and cold cold, the coldes in 7 years. Almost snowed in but 4x4 and a snowblower we are fine.

Totally helpful comment<---- sarcasm. Obviously the OP's isn't, hence the reason for posting. In principle, knowing that they are only off by less than 5 inches from the standard dimensions could be helpful. That's likely just about the amount that a creative contractor could shave off. Open the walls, turn the studs by 90°, use thinner sheetrock, and maybe just push the wall over a tiny amount, and you are there. Then maybe fill the walls with spray foam to give them back some of the rigidity that they lost in the process. In practice, this is going to be prohibitively expensive unless the room was intended to have a full remodel anyway. So, yeah, you are right. That's not super helpful. And that's why I originally suggested looking into getting Miele washers/dryers. The higher purchase price is easily made up for by the cost savings of not having to completely gut the laundry room and remodeling it. Sounds as if there are a few other more compact alternatives, though. Good to know.

Gaffer June 2021 I couldn't open the doors on my Míele Washer and Dryer! I noticed the posts on these websites when trying to find out how to open the doors on my new Míele WWV 980 WPS washer, and Míele TWV 680 WP heat pump condenser dryer. I scoured the manuals to no avail, and no matter what I tried, I could not open the doors. I decided that Míele had reached an unprecedented low with these new machines, and I was desperate to run my laundry wash and dry. What I discovered, with the assistance of a helpful young lady at Míele in Melbourne, when I was finally able to get my call answered after about 3/4 of an hour, was that I simply had to pull harder on the door, and it snapped open, as did the door on the dryer. It was not really hard for an old bloke like me to open: I had just been afraid of pulling too hard, and maybe damaging the door locking mechanism. You have to give it a really firm pull, and it snaps open. Maybe it is Míele's attempt to ensure that smaller children do not open the door too easily to give the family small pet a wash or puff dry. Who knows? The machines are very easy to set up and use, and my brother and I have quickly set them up to be on our home Wi-Fi network, and controllable on the iPhone, and to use the options we want as Favorites. Basic options on the machines are closely related to those on our previous Míele washer, the W 487 S WPS, and Míele condenser dryer, the T270 C Novotronic. I started using Míele products in 1983, with a vacuum cleaner that lasted 23 years until the motor burned out due to some heavy duty cleaning up of cement dust and other rough dust. The second Míele vacuum cleaner has lasted 20 years without a problem, and I've just replaced that one with a new one. The last washer/dryer combination above lasted 16 years without a problem, and have been replaced in spite of still being in good order. We just wanted to move to more versatile machines. Our Míele conventional oven, a H5681BP, and conventional/microwave oven, a H5080BM, are both 10 years old without a problem, and the dishwasher, a G1220 SC, is 15 years old without a problem. If you have the latest Míele washer or dryer turned on, and the display is on, and there is a padlock symbol in it, then don't try to just pull it open, but touch the display add laundry option first, and follow your manual. But if the machine is switched off at the start/stop in the display, or at the wall, you should be able to just pull the door open with a very firm pull by placing your fingers behind the orange line on the chrome of the door at the edge, and just pull it open. I had been convinced I had bought a dud when I "couldn’t" open the door with a cautious pull, as I tend to do for fear of damaging a new appliance I am not familiar with, but it turned out I just needed to be a bit more assertive about it! I am not trying to tell you this is definitely the answer in your particular case, but it may well be, if you are a gentle soul like me! Cheers, Geoff.

@Blue Choosing a washer can feel like a graduate level research project. Such a relief to finally get a choice made, eh? Now, it is going to be your turn to help others. Please let us know what you chose (the one that nobody mentioned here) and please report back how it works out for you. Don't worry that somebody might hate or mock your choice. Every appliance choice will be a mix of engineering tradeoffs and design compromises, both limited by budget. On the internet, there always will be somebody who will hate your choice regardless of your budget, space, etc., let alone whether the choice works well enough for you. Your report will help others in your position with their process of working through their own choices. LOL on the YouTube channel. I only work behind cameras. I'm mostly retired, and most of what I'm doing these days is for musicians, choirs and dancers. No video help there for choosing appliances.
