Best Miele Washer Dryer Combos

The machine itself washes really well; it's the drying that's the problem. If you're a single person like myself, and try to do a wash/drying cycle,… Read more

the machine won't accept small loads, and clothes come out very damp. It comes up with an error code - too small load. This is my week's worth of laundry. I've tried many different cycles / settings, even had a Miele technician come to check it. My clothes aren't heavy or voluminous enough to trigger the sensors on the door apparently. Miele advertise this machine as great for daily use. Considering that its an 8 kg washing machine but can only dry 4 kg (so if you're doing a large load, you have to halve your load to dry it) - it seems odd it can't do my 3 kg of drying after washing it. This was a big expense and now I have to buy a separate dryer. Very unhappy. UPDATE: After discussions with Miele and using the Delicates (1 kg max) or Woollen (2 kg max) Cycle for drying for my small loads as a single person; or using the Warm Air cycle - none gave me anything but damp clothes after the wash. I weighed and tried a 1 kg load and a 2 kg load with no success. Even adding towels into the load to bulk up the volume made no difference. It's been a waste of my time and money. As a disabled person who saw this as a terrific help, it's been nothing but a hindrance. This machine should be sold as family-sized only load washing machine (and remember it's an 8 kg wash and 4 kg dry machine, so if you wash large loads, you'll have to do separate cycles to cut the load in half for drying; or just do 4 kg loads.
