Compare Miele washing machines

You're looking for a Miele washing machine. Because of their long lifespan, for example. That's why you want to know which Miele washing machine suits you best. With Miele TwinDos, your laundry stays in good condition for longer thanks to automatic detergent dosing. With Miele PowerWash, you can do the laundry in 49 minutes. There are also washing machines that have both technologies. You can find a comparison here.

Dose detergent

With a Miele washing machine with just PowerWash, you have to dose the detergent yourself. You add it manually via the detergent drawer. Do you want PowerWash and still have automatic detergent dosing? Choose a Miele washing machine with PowerWash and TwinDos. That way, you'll use just the right amount of detergent. Each PowerWash washing machine also has CapDosing. If you want to protect your wool or silk laundry, insert a CapDosing capsule in the drawer. It offers enough detergent for 1 cycle.

If you want to keep your laundry in good condition for longer, buy a Miele TwinDos washing machine. Miele TwinDos has 2 flacons at the bottom, called UltraPhase 1 and 2. These flacons dose your detergent automatically. It's possible to use TwinDos with your own detergent and fabric softener. You have to buy 2 Miele refill reservoirs that you fill yourself. If you want to dose manually after all, you still can. Just like PowerWash, TwinDos has a detergent drawer at the top. It also works with CapDosing.

Wash quickly and save water

You want to wash quickly and save water and energy. In that case, Miele PowerWash is a good choice for you. It lets you wash up to 40% more energy-efficiently. You can wash half a load in 49 minutes with the QuickPowerWash cycle. The washing machine mixes the detergent with water and sprays it over your laundry from above. By spraying the detergent, the detergent spreads out evenly and the appliance needs less water for a clean result.

Miele TwinDos: only a short refresh cycle of 20 minutes

Miele TwinDos: only a short refresh cycle of 20 minutes

With a Miele TwinDos washing machine, the detergent isn't sprayed over your laundry from above. As a result, the Miele TwinDos takes about 3 hours to wash a full drum. Miele TwinDos doesn't have a PowerWash cycle. It does have a quick refresh cycle that takes 20 minutes, especially for laundry that smells stale and isn't dirty. This short cycle doesn't wash your laundry the same way, like PowerWash does.

Conclusion PowerWash vs TwinDos

If you want to save extra water and energy and wash quickly, buy a Miele PowerWash washing machine. Do you want automatic detergent dosing? Choose Miele TwinDos. You can also buy a washing machine with PowerWash and TwinDos. This is the best of both worlds. Your laundry will stay in good condition for longer, you'll save water and energy, and your laundry will be clean faster.
