Product review (5 stars): Love this washing machine
I guess the recent for the negative reviews for the Miele W3033 washing machine is that everybody else has no trouble and therefore does not leave feedback. I bought this washing machine 6 years ago and have not had any problems. Consequently I bought all Miele appliances for my kitchen and love all of them. The moldy smell that one reviewer refers to occurs when people close the door after washing. All front load washing machines require to leave the door open so the machine can dry out after a wash. This washing machine evene washes my knit dresses that are dry clean only in the hand wash cycle and I have not spent much on a dry cleaner since I have it. This is the best washing machine I have ever used. It is energy efficient and gentle to my clothes but washes them much cleaner than any American brand washing machine I have ever used. Our water heater can run at a much lower temp since it has an integrated heating element and a sud sensor that makes it stop rinsing when the detergent is used up.
