Miele
Launched at IFA 2019, Miele introduced an intelligent new range of washing machine and tumble dryer models to its W1 collection. Benefitting from new and exclusive AddLoad technology, users can add garments to the washing machine at any point during a cycle, without compromising on performance. Users can simply open the door to add in clothes or bulkier items such as blankets and then close the door to resume the selected programme. The function also makes it possible to add items that just need to rinse or spin, saving on time and energy. Miele has also improved its exclusive QuickPowerWash programme. Previously completing a cycle in 59 minutes, the QuickPowerwash programme will now take just 49 minutes for a 4kg load, improving its A-rated wash performance by ten minutes. Both the tumble dryer and washing machine models can now communicate directly with each other through Miele’s new Wash2Dry function. Operating via WiFi, the dryer obtains information on the previous wash cycle and automatically selects the appropriate drying programme for the load. Users can also control the machines via the Miele@mobile app which provides live updates on programme progress along with a stop/start function.
