Miele W1 WEI865 Express 20

Washing a load of general stuff with bold liquid and lenor outdoorable pink blossom combo on express 20 at 40°C This is easily one of the better express programs on the market. It does a longer more intensive main wash compared to most machines and spends a very good length of time heating. This managed to reach around 30°C on the door glass and potentially got a bit hotter on the inside. Considering the fact this was used in the middle of winter when the water is coming out of the tap at around 5°C that is VERY impressive imo I know a lot of other machines that would’ve performed their shortest wash cycle in cold water It does a detergent dilution stage at the end of the main wash to dilute the detergent as much as possible to compensate for the fact It only does 1 rinse. It also does a decent 700rpm interm spin and a low level rinse. The low level rinse is absolutely perfect for the small loads this cycle is made for. I’m really glad Miele don’t waste half a tub of water on this cycle compared to other machines. The final spin is also a good length and even does a spin burst before it 😳 The only real let down for this cycle is that there’s no way to make it do more than 1 rinse even the 30 minute version only does 1 rinse so even though it still rinses decently it’s not a cycle I’d use much The cycle was completed using only 0.3kwh of energy and 20 litres of water 0:00 Prepare the load 2:44 Main wash 10:52 Main wash (detergent dilution with powerwash) 13:52 Interm spin 700rpm 15:51 Rinse (powerwash) 19:51 Final spin 1200rpm 25:18 Anti crease/finish and results
