Product review (3 stars): disappointed
First of all, it is a review for an older model, w3033. We bought this machine about 5years ago. Over all I am very disapponted with US version of Miele washer. After having used one back in my parent's home I have expected more.
Soon after we moved to US I noticed my clothes are getting dirty. White was not white anymore, and the buildup just builds over time. I never had any problems with my mom's old miele. And in fact, when I come to visit her, her washer cleans all buildup in just one wash, and it is all white again.
So we decided we need a better washer here in US, and I was very happy to find Miele on the market. Almost two thousand was a high price tag, but I thought I knew what I was paying for. I nneeded the machine mainly for two purposes: to wash fine fabrics (like silk) and to wash T-shirts etc on high temperature mode to keep them white.
1) It does wash silk, wool and other delicates, and does it well. There is a little bit of an issue with the color on some fabrics, but I think it is probably because cold water in US is not as cold. So this part was good, this is the reason why I gave it three stars.
2) Now, unfortunately, the sanitize cycle (highest tempereture mode) does not clean nearly as well as it was in older machines. And this is the reason I am disappointed. I knew the machine heats water to a lower temperature, but on the miele site they said it is enough to remove thoughest stains. Water gets quite hot, but I can tell you that it does not remove stains as it shold. I can see that my whites are getting more and more grey each time I wash them.
There are many more little pros and cons that I can list here as well:

Pros: it worked for five years or so, just fine, we never needed tech or customer service. It is a small and efficient machine, not too loud, clothes (except for whites where you really see the difference) look and smell clean. High spin removes water well, in a humid climate most items dry on a rack for a day or two. It is great for delicates, does not destroy my silk summer dresses and shirts and so small that I can wash one shirt at a time (which is something you want to do for delicates) and do not have to worry bout electric and water bills will go up.

Cons: I think all the problems with this machine come from the fact that it is efficient to extreme. On all but delicate cycles it uses very little water(I think less water is harder on clothes and does not clean as well) and on sanitize it does not heat water to high enough temperature. So on the whites you can see dirt building up. Tight summer T-shirts get stains under arms. It is not as bad as some cheap machines I used, but not as good as an older and cheaper miele my mom has. It is also very heavy, we had to move several times in US, we had to hire people to move it even around the town, so if you expect to move I think you should keep it in mind. It also vibrates quite a bit on wooden floors. We had it on the second floor of a wooden frame building and it was a disaster, the whole building was shaking when it spins. It worked great on concrete floor. Now we moved into a one-level house, and it shakes the whole house again, not as bad as it was shaking the second floor, but still sufficient to feel it everywhere in the house. It is also very small. We bought it for a family of two and the only problem was that bedding would take two loads. Now we have a child, and it doubles the number of washes we do a week. Note that washes are quite long, especially if you want your items to be cleaner. We both work, so we have to wash more often than I would like.

We recently moved and our miele washer got damaged. So we are looking for a washer again. I do not know what we are going to buy, but most likely it will not be miele. I would never give up an old workhorse like my mom's machine, but I am almost glad that my 3033 is dead. I saw miele washers on Amazon, so I thought my experience might be helpful.

If you had similar experience and can give an advise on picking the right washer I would really appreciate it.
