...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.
The machine is extremely quiet and very ... ...sure that the extra expense is worth it in the long term. Miele appliances are renowned for their build quality so I know that I have a reliable machine that will last me for many years. I will keep this review updated if I do have any problems. ...

Review of Miele W 1613
Advantages: ummm.... Its cheap! Disadvantages: Slow speed ... its energy ratings!
Tbis base model washing machine is whats known as cheap and cheerful!
It has a 5.5kg drum which is average and will surfice for a family of 4 or 5 but I know if my mum had a drum this size that she would wash 2 or even 3 times a day! So the bills go up :( But for me thats the most disappointing thing- its the 1100rpm drum speed, this is simply not very good! I would not recommend a washer under 1400 (this is infact the perfect amount as more has ... ...drum isnt going to wash your clothes to a very high standard but I suppose if your paying £165 for it you shouldnt expect too much!

Advantages: Quality, very large drum capacity, load sensing for water saving. Disadvantages: Touch sensitive buttons can trigger if you brush past them.
...owned a smaller 6kg tub Siemens machine but sold it a couple of years ago to get a secondhand Dyson. This was great as it had a very large drum. However I had a bad feeling that the bearings may give up in the next year which would mean ££ callout. I had got used to the very big capacity of the Dyson so didn't want to go back to a small drum machine. This machine is rated as 8kg! That is actually 1kg more than the Dyson. So, I have spent the last ... ...The capacity of the Siemens drum is almost as big with a slightly smaller stated volume of 65 litres. Overall, I think that its a one-for-one swap with the Dyson on capacity. The advantages over the dyson; 1 Cold fill only allows better washing with bio liquids.
2 Doesn't vibrate as much on the spin (same 1400rpm speed)
3 Clean design that isn't as funky as the plastic dyson.
4 Good solid construction. Door, powder tray all look good quality. ...
Advantages: Rock solid and good number of features Disadvantages: Whatever I feed my kids they always get it down their clothes!
...a brand new model from Bosch and it was recommended by the website I bought it from (http://www.internetkitchenappliances.co.uk/feed). I only took delivery a few weeks ago but as a mum of 4 I am really happy with the selection of programmes and little features like the time remaining, shorter quick wash programmes and the variable spin speeds. When they told me how much a good built in washer would cost I freaked out but I think it's a good idea ...
Advantages: Quiet, Easy To Use, Value For Money, Large Capacity, Many Leading Features Disadvantages: None Detected Yet
...Leading the way is the Hotpoint AQGMD149 with its A Graded energy, wash and spin rating giving you a performance that would sell out the west end. Finally a washing machine that can be looked upon, cherished and admired instead of being an irritating box which makes noise and happens to wash your clothes. The LCD screen may look flashy though beneath the modern dressings this is the birth of a washing machine that dazzles in simplicity. Very Quiet ... ...washing and drying headquarters the leading model in washing machine production and design.
