Product review (3 stars): Struggling to Compete
I am incredibly disappointed that our new Miele W3038 is not performing to the same standard as our previous compact Miele front-load washing machine.  Our old version was approximately 15 yrs old before needing replacement, and it always could handle towels and sheets with ease.  The W3038 struggles to adequately spin a full set of queen sheets or towels, often resulting in the need to run a second spin cycle.  Even when running a light load, I have noticed the clothing is consistently more damp than with our old machine.  The light turns on and off randomly (as is seen in the picture during the spin cycle), potentially indicating wiring or electrical panels may not be up to par; this also occurs in the new partner T8023C dryer.  For this price point, I would have hoped our new units would have at least performed as well as 15-yr old appliances.
