Need new washer - comparing Miele W4842 vs W4802
Comments (11)Aside from the additional Mastercare programs the display offers on the 4842, it's worthy to mention it also leaves you with endless possibilities for updates. I wouldn't be surprised if Miele offers a PC update to add or improve upon existing Mastercare programs in the future as they suggest they do. I'm hoping if I bit_h enough i'll get a "Pillows" program one day. It also makes adjusting some of the programmable options much easier. I was disappointed I couldn't get a dryer with the same arrangement.The build quality of these machines you will notice right away. But itâÂÂs not until you have been using them for a while, then take notice of some models in a local store, you realize how much better they are built. Your standards will never settle for anything less. YouâÂÂve become use to how things should be built. As for the 5 year warranty and Remote Vision package I say YES. I think I paid less than $300 for both washer and dryer. These machines are solid but should they need a repair it's not cheap. As a side note, Remote Vision can be hard to configure to your network. In fact, the instruction I received were for configuring it running windows XP. I did a bit of complaining to the Remote Vision department since I have windows 7 and things have changed in those operating systems. Five weeks later I received notice additional programming instructions were now available for customer running windows Vista and 7. Do I thinks it's necessary my washer communicates it's status to Miele every hour and in the event of a malfunction, no. But it sure is cool......See MoreWhy are Asko and Miele washer/dryer reviews so polarized?
Comments (46)Asko owner for 21 years. designed into a kitchen, as in Europe. They are quieter due to being used in kitchen, I find I can do a king size set of sheets, with 6 pillow cases quite fine. I dry my sheets separately since doing together has me doing another period. The high rpm of spins I like, has clothes dryer before drying. And some nice shorter cycles, a good cold water one, again so quiet you can eat in the same room and hear one another. I use a lot less soap powder , 1 Tablespoon per load, always the HE of any brand. I add 1 Tablespoon of Oxi-Clean also. some softener also. Very clean clothes. The looks, Great. mine are white, have it next to a Kitchen -Aid, white and wood cabinets. Now the down side. Replaced the set about 7 years ago, I think we just wore them out ! how 2 people need to wash so much. We have had several niggling things with the newer set, dryer is not out in the middle of the floor, belt wore out. Waiting for part. Ours are trouble because we designed them under a counter that supports a china cabinet, always needing to be unloaded because once the units are out there is no support for the above cabinet when fully loaded. In the process of redoing the bathroom to hold the Asko's, easier access if needed to work on. Note: I had a Maytag set (regular size) for 24 years with very little trouble. So, if they are not built in to make them difficult to extract and work on, they are really good looking....See MoreMiele 4842 washer and related dryer being discontinued
Comments (6)I believe Miele has a showroom in New York, so why not take one of your king size blankets and check the Little Giant's for size? That is what I did with my saddle pads and the people at Miele were very helpful. If money is not a major factor, and you have a lot of laundry, Miele also has some larger models in its Professional line. One of the Scottsdale dealers had a great deal on a floor model set, so you might be able to find a similar deal in your area. I do agree the other posters about giving yourself some flexibility in your layout....See MoreBuying a old *New* Miele Washer/ Dryer
Comments (10)"Design is not limited to fancy new gadgets. Our family just bought a new washing machine and dryer. We didn't have a very good one so we spent a little time looking at them. It turns out that the Americans make washers and dryers all wrong. The Europeans make them much better but they take twice as long to do clothes! It turns out that they wash them with about a quarter as much water and your clothes end up with a lot less detergent on them. Most important, they don't trash your clothes. They use a lot less soap, a lot less water, but they come out much cleaner, much softer, and they last a lot longer. We spent some time in our family talking about what's the trade-off we want to make. We ended up talking a lot about design, but also about the values of our family. Did we care most about getting our wash done in an hour versus an hour and a half? Or did we care most about our clothes feeling really soft and lasting longer? Did we care about using a quarter of the water? We spent about two weeks talking about this every night at the dinner table. We'd get around to that old washer-dryer discussion. And the talk was about design. We ended up opting for these Miele appliances, made in Germany. They're too expensive, but that's just because nobody buys them in this country. They are really wonderfully made and one of the few products we've bought over the last few years that we're all really happy about. These guys really thought the process through. They did such a great job designing these washers and dryers. I got more thrill out of them than I have out of any piece of high tech in years." - Steve Jobs, 1996, on his then-new Miele W1918. I don't know about you, but whether you're an Apple fanboy or an Apple hater, when the guy who brought forth the iPhone and iPad is more blown away by a *laundry appliance* than any recent gadget, that's quite an endorsement. More here (I also wonder how many other Fortune 500 CEOs do their own laundry). I have a W1926, which was introduced to the US a year later and is essentially a W1918 that's 4" deeper inside and out, mitigating some of the capacity issues. It's awesome....See MoreAnna Cunningham
