Miele W1 WCS Active WCA 020 (7kg)
VerifiedMPN: WCA0207 reviews
I have deliberately taken some time to really use this machine before doing a review and I am really pleased with the results. I am normally a top-loader user, but due to the layout of the laundry I couldnt keep my trusty top loader (my mum makes a big gain - shes going to take it!) The cycle times on this Miele are acceptable - they will never… Read more
be top-loader quick, but the cycle length is very reasonable. Wash and rinse perfomance has been excellent. Whites are definitely whiter and I am using less wash additives now.
Of course, I definitely noticed the improvement in water usage, and I do use the Water Plus function for senstive skin in our household.
The machine is very quite and stable, INCREDIBLY simple to use and looks pretty good too. I'd recommend this machine and its matching dryer to anyone.
Not a great choice of cycles. They are too long. 20 min Express good but doesnt wash properly . We get alot of shuddering and machine noise in spin. Have checked machine level. Really disappointed as previous Miele was great
A normal wash is over 3 hours. I am having trouble keeping up with the washing as my family can wear more clothes in 3 hours than the washer can wash. I constantly have to cut back on washing things each week, like bed sheets etc. Looks good, washes good on the 3 hour cycle, but does not wash well on the 20 min cycle. The short cycle is 1.5… Read more
hours. You can open the door during a cycle to add things most of the time, which is good. The previous Miele machine I had took around an hour less time. Not sure why a wash takes so long compared to the previous Miele machine I had, which is a similar model.
Good but not great – Bought this about eight months ago and no issues so far. Works well and consistently. The cleaning clycle requiring use of hot water is needed regularly which we were not told about. We bought a cold water only to save money but having to heat he water to run this cycle is annoying. I nay case, this is a good machne, but value for money is questionable. Show details
WCA020 very poor rinse – WCA 020 has two problems: soap powder residue is left in dispenser after complete cycle has finished. And rinse is totally inadequate. I've just put 2 sheets and a bathtowel through 3 complete 'short + extra water' wash & rinse cycles. That's about 5 hours in total. Only the first cycle had detergent. (I used the recommended amount). And there are still soap suds visible after 5 hours! Show details

Broken after 3months & terrible customer service – Bought this machine brand new 3 months ago and the motor & switch board has already broken down. Miele have sold us a dodgy machine considering they promise good quality. This is disappointing because a premium was paid. No one would expect a Miele machine to have had a fault of this magnitude after only three months. A lovely technician came… Read more
however the parts required an additional wait time of a week, we had to cancel last minute on account of going into labour. I had to reschedule a time and they said it couldn’t be for another 2 weeks. I have tried calling and asking for an earlier date however they hang up the phone. This is unacceptable customer service given we have newborn baby.
What’s the point of having warranty if they don’t replace the machine if it’s faulty.
Good morning Kayley, I’m very sorry to hear of this… Read more
Rubbish...not worth the money – Purchased this machine after having a Miele front loader before and was very happy with it. Unfortunately got divorced and the washing machine stayed with him. Saved my money to purchase another and was very disappointed. The build quality is cheap. The wash is OK. At times the machine doesnt spin the closes after the cycle has finished so I have… Read more
to set up a rinse and spin cycle. At times it doesn't register when I press start only to check the wash expecting to be finished but hasn't started washing. I still see lint on clothes didnt experience this with my previous machine. I will never purchase or recommend a Miele front loader again....not worth the money.
H Piera, please accept our sincere apologies for the… Read more
