Elektra W Nivola

Advantages: Quiet, Water and Energy Saving Features, Easy To Use
Disadvantages: Very Heavy, Expensive to Buy.

...We have recently become the proud owners of a Miele W1613 washing machine. It has all the usual programmes with some added options. The express programme completes a wash in 30 minutes at 40C. It washes whites perfectly at 60C. Water and energy consumption are determined by the size of the load so when smaller amounts of laundry are washed the automatic load recognition system reduces the amount of water, time and energy used.

Regular cycles take around 3 hours, with the options for a prewash or a quick wash lengthening or shortening the time taken. There are a multitude of options, including multiple temperatures for cottons, synthetics and woollens. A hand wash and a lone spin cycle are also possible... Read review

...My washing machine has packed in after 15 yrs it was a hoover, but i was curious about which manufacture to go far as appliances of today are made of poor qaulity.I researched and found a manufacturer mentioned many times and renowned for making the best quality washing machines probably in the world.The manufacturer is Miele, i purchased the model W3740.
