Miele aims to set standard with Benchmark range


Miele Professional has launched its new generation Benchmark series of washers and dryers designed to be gentle to the environment while still delivering high performance. The company said the new range


strikes a balance between cost-efficiency and premium results, helping care home managers exceed laundry expectations without compromise and adhere to hygiene regulations on a daily basis. With sustainable efficiency at its core, the new Benchmark series can accommodate a


washer load capacity ranging from 12-20kg and a drying load capacity between 14kg- 44kg ensuring maximum laundry throughput. All washing machines are built to last for


30,000 operating hours and all dryers are tested to 40,000 cycles. For spot-on-drying, the PerfectDry


system continuously records residual moisture levels in the load, meaning the drying process ends when results are perfect.
