Miele TKB 350 WP Eco

Useless and not fit for purpose as it takes too long to dry – We also need to buy a new dryer as this one does not dry (even after 2 and a half hours). We love the one at our beach house by Bosch instead. Much cheaper and much more efficient and quicker. Show details

Super expensive compared to a normal tumble dryer... worth every penny – We purchased this dryer 6 months ago because yet again we were let down by cheaper standard dryers. When I say cheaper, I mean an $800 item which lasted 2 years before it started playing up and was fixed under warranty only to die 2 years later outside of warranty. I have to admit I was adamant we would not be spending a large amount on… Read more

another one as they seem to die in a few years anyway. After speaking to a friend who had one and finding out that a) they are far more energy efficient b) don't create condensation when in use, just heat, we were sold.

Something that also swayed us to what I originally thought/assumed was over priced European branding, was talking to other people who have been using Miele products for over a decade. As in, one single Miele dryer and washer for that entire time and their daughter then inherited them and is still using them now while they upgraded to the newer model.

One thing to take into account when getting one, which I originally did, was making sure you have the room for it.

These dryers are extremely heavy in comparison to the standard dryers and cannot be wall hung. We have it stacked on top of our old washing machine which we plan on replacing with a new Miele one soon.

Dryer could dry better, phone service could be a lot better and more pleasant – I love the efficiency and quietness of this dryer, but normal cycles don't get the clothes dry enough> you have to go through the selections to get to Extra Dry each time. The dryer is new, but we have the previous model heat pump dryer at another house.(T7950 WP) It dries better. More disappointing was the poor service in getting an extension… Read more

hose and non return valve kit from Miele. First, they just don't answer the phone! i rang 5 times and waited 10 minutes or more each time and ended up hanging up. Got through after a 4 min wait early one morning. It didn't sound like a busy call room, with sounds of someone else walking around in the background. I suspect they have a bad culture at Miele...customers interrupt their day perhaps. Email to confirm the order was promised but never arrived, very expensive at $150 for very simple hose,spigot and NRT. Person on phone was supercilious in his approach to my complaint. I did not like dealing with Miele, though their products are very good (We own 8 Miele products).

My first dryer... it's very good! But will it stand the test of time? – Bought this along with the WKB130 as a package. Have been using it for just over a month. Expensive compared to other brands, especially for a more base-level model without many features (not that we would use them too much anyway I think), but we wanted something that would last and was great quality. Hopefully this does the job long-term. It's… Read more

7-star energy efficient apparently, but I haven't really seen our first electricity bill yet so the jury is still out on that one. The programs are enough, and it's quiet enough for a dryer. Again, this is my first dryer so I can't comment too much on many aspects, however, it's quiet compared to what I've heard in the past using other's dryers overseas.

Clothes come out dry, and there's options if you want it extra dry, or a little bit more damp.

The dryer just requires a power point, and no other connections. You'll have to empty the water container pretty much every time you use it (very easy), and clean the filters every time as well (easy enough, takes about a minute with a handheld vacuum cleaner).

It's been great so far, but the bigger test will be how it lasts in the next 5, 10, 15 years...

Was great untill it broke – Great dry, have not had any issues since purchasing in June 2016, however the tumble part no longer is tumbling! Having trouble now finding parts to fix it, anyone know who has parts? Thanks in advance  Show details

Love our heat pump dryer! – No more wet laundry walls and floor! We love our Miele heat pump dryer. We use mostly in winter when the weather makes line drying impossible. Love it's efficiency, detecting when clothing is dry and stopping, as well as the different options available for delicates, denim and the option for an additional 20 mins of warm air. It's very cost efficient to run and gentle on clothing too. One of the filters is fiddly to clean but no other complaints. Show details ·  1

love this heat pump dryer – We have changed our dryer fro ma vented model to this heat pump one just about two years ago. It made a huge difference in quality of clothing and no more heat/moisture escaping the dryer. We live in an apartment and can't use the washing line, I put silks, wool, husbands shirt in the dryer. It has a variety of modes so you can use pretty much for anything as long as you follow the instructions.  Show details

Expensive dryer that does not dry – I have a Miele washing machine which is ok, but not great for the expensive price. However, this dryer is even worse. I can’t have my clothes dry, never. The cycle takes forever and when it’s finished the clothes are still damp, not to say very wet, and smelling very bad. I am very disappointing with this brand. I will never buy anything from Miele again. Very pricey. Show details

Faulty Machine?! – After reading previous reviews for this dryer I have realised that the clothes do not dry because of my incompetence but rather the poor performance of the machine! Purchased 2018. Show details

Miele Clothes Dryer a Dud!! – We’re a long time Miele customer who love our dishwasher, wall oven, induction cooktop, exhaust fan. Very disappointed with TKB350WP clothes dryer bought late 2016 which never seems to dry. Show details

Dries clothes well but can’t dry sheets – This dryer dries clothes really well however it has an amazing ability to turn your sheets into a tight wet ball which is a shame because I bought it to dry my sheets. Show details

Expensive Dryer that doesn't dry !!! – Was badgered to buy a Miele dryer after years of Whirlpool and cheaper models so gave in and bought a TKB 350 WP Eco with a washing machine as well as 2 x ovens and induction cook top. Everything else is great BUT the dryer is woeful and I mean really bad!!! It simply doesn't dry clothes properly and as for Towels or bed sheets FORGET IT!!! Why oh… Read more

why are so many reviews on here saying the same thing and what will a $179 service call do for me????

Not worth the money!! – Had mine 3 years and its started beeping and just wont go. Youd think when you pay over $2000 for a single appliance that you would get more than 3 years out of it. My old LG dryer lasted 8 years before it died. Im not happy. Miele are meant to be top notch ... no better than the cheap and nasty brands. I would not recommend. Show details

So disappointed – Bought this dryer along with miele oven and dishwasher and it has been a dud from the start. I thought it was how I used it but it keeps beeping every time and hardly dries the clothes even after lint cleaned. Very disappointed.

disappointed – I am so disappointed with this dryer. it simply doesn't dry clothes. Will never buy another! I cannot even dry damp clothing as it goes for a few seconds and then beeps! so frustrating! Show details

I am a Miele fan, but this dryer is dreadful. Worst dryer I have ever owned – Very expensive for a dryer that doesn't dry clothes. I have to dry the clothes three times on extra dry and still the clothes come out damp. Don't waste your money. Show details

Very disappointing – We purchased this dryer 3mths ago and it has been nothing but short of disappointing. Yes, sometimes it’s brilliant, but it’s sporadic and flimsy build quality. We have rang Miele to ask for assistance and they have sent a tech out who essentially said...not their problem. The secondary filter located at the bottom of the dryer sensor must… Read more

be faulty as it often stops the cycle asking for the filter to be cleaned. This happens at least every second cycle.

The filter door has flimsy little clips / hinges that have broken. This is because the door opens randomly or maybe it’s because it should only be used a few times a year, but we have to clean every second cycle on a good day.

Apart from a range of other niggles, the fun part is that the beeper after a cycle cannot be turned off or shortened. So forget leaving the dryer on at night as it beeps loudly for over an hour.

Keep away from this model.

Another great Miele product – Excellent clothes dryer, just set and forget, everything comes out prefect, dries towels nice and soft. Had this for more than 2+ years now, excellent results always, Fragrance Flacon last if used correctly, down side can only find them at Miele shop but no big problem. Quiet and very efficient.  Show details

Miele Conserves Energy – I put off buying a dryer for years because I am a bit of a greenie. However, I was given this dryer second-hand from someone who moved interstate and who knows I love Miele stuff. Have to say I'd not be without it now, the main reason being that clothes that I used to waste electricity and many woman hours ironing, shirts, shorts, pillow-cases,… Read more

T-shirts and so on, now come out of the dryer soft and creaseless. So instead of adding to my power bill this cutie actually saves me money, plus it does it's bit for the environment.

Excellent – excellent dryer. Highly recommend it to everyone! clothes need very short time to dry, no wrinkles so no need to iron. power consumptions is very low. it is very quiet operation and it does not creates a lot of humidity when in use. will go with this model again. filter is very good in collecting lints.  Show details

No more hanging washing – This is the best purchase I have ever made. The clothes are dried and kept in good condition. The drier beeps when it is finished and we go and switch it off. Of course it uses a certain amount of electricity but it’s worth the convenience. I am delighted with this product.  Show details

Love it – I love this dryer. It's so easy to use, I used to have an old dryer that filled the room with condensation. This machine collects all the moisture and you empty the water collector at the end of the cycle. Miele supplied a sample freshener which makes the towels smell beautiful  Show details

Disappointed – I currently own 4 Miele washing machines and 3 Miele Dryers (at different properties) - the most recent purchase was the TKB 350 WP Dryer - I purchased this model mainly to dry sheets and towels. I love that it is quiet but on the 'extra dry' cycle they remain wet & it also spins the sheets into a ball. I thought maybe I had overloaded the… Read more

machine and that is was my fault. So I put one top sheet in - still the sheet remains wet and spins into a ball. So it's not me its the dryer. It is being accessed on the 6th Oct 2017 and I hope the problem will be rectified or that I will be offered a replacement model. My preferred model that I currently own is Miele T8861WP

Excellent Dryer – Had dryer for 3 months now , very efficient and quite, just put you're clothes in and it works out time for you ,takes about 1 hr to dry clothes , and clothes seem to come out very soft compared to our old dryer,i would recommend this dryer well worth the price  Show details

Excellent Product – We are using this heat pump dryer every week. It's really awesome. We can't feel any extra heat coming out in Laundry. All functions are working well. It seems to be one of the great product. Touch screen is awesome. When you click on start button, it turn on LED light for tumbler which gives a great view inside.  Show details

Excellent dryer, expensive but worth it – Never owned a dryer before but this one is fantastic. Has reverse tumbling, doesnt leave any condensation on the walls, lots of programs including just warm air. 24 hour delay and reasonably quiet but not silent. Clothes come out very fluffy and soft compared to drying on a clothes horse for a day or so. We can wash and dry a load in 4 to 5 hours… Read more

with our washer and this dryer. So convenient. Dont know about the express setting as we havent used it. Also found the fragrance flaccon to be too strong for us even on the lowest setting but thats just personal preference. We have this dryer stacked on our new Miele washer. Very happy. The Miele installers were very thorough and careful.

Love this dryer – This dryer is efficient, quiet and works like a dream. I was reluctant to purchase anothr Miele after having so many problems with the W series, but am so glad that I stuck with them. Good value. Only gets 1 star on energy efficiency though, but we have bulk purchased power, which helps with the cost of electricity. I use it daily as we live… Read more

in a high rise apartment. I was able to stack it on my old Miele W series washing machine too. Very happy.

So far so good – Quite happy with this dryer. Haven't had any problems at all. It does take some time to dry but from my research that is quite common with heat pump dryers. My expectations were properly managed as I did a fair deal of research and reading. Initially I was going to go with a cheaper option; however in the end, decided it would be best to invest a… Read more

bit in the dryer as we don't have a clothes line. Clothes come out a bit damp sometimes, but we lay it out for an hour or two before folding so that's fine. Has been in operation now for 3 months without any hiccups. The compartment for their fragrance/scents are very good. Fresh laundry smell is so good!

takes too long to dry – the only thing good about this machine is that the energy consumption rating is very good - well, for the amount of time it takes to dry clothes, it has to be. not only does it takes too long to dry, clothes come out still damp even at extra dry cycle, which is very disappointing!  Show details

High expectations. Disappointing experience – The dryer takes a long time to get through a cycle and 105 minutes of 'extra dry ' setting later finishes its "extra dry' cycle with very damp clothes. Started up our old blower dryer and it finished the job. Low energy use hopes dashed by running two dryers to complete a cycle.  Show details

worst dryer: does not dry your clothes!!! – i bought this dryer because they told me that although it was more expensive compared to regular dryers, it would not only dry your clothes but would be more gentle on your clothes as well as keep the running costs down!!!! ! Well it just does not dry your clothes. I Have programmed it to 'extra dry' levels and still my daughters sheets were… Read more

too wet to put on the bed!!!! Spoke to the Miele service department who could not help me, then spoke to their sales department..... who after an hour of getting moved from one person to another decided to send someone out on a service call next week. So frustrating!! The bottom line from talking to Meile was that their dryers "do not remove all the water from clothes and that there will be a small residual amount left" .....and i told them that the sheets were damp and could not be considered 'slight residual'........... Wet sheets are wet sheets!!!!! unacceptable level, They claim they dont 'bake' clothes like other dryers, I accept that....but no one wants WET sheets and that in the end , people want dryers to actually dry clothes. I would never recommend this product!!!
