Miele W1 T1, which model do I choose? Help!

6 years ago

I am looking to replace my full size washer and dryer for a compact set. I hope I don't regret it. :) I just find the large W/D take up too much real estate, and based on everyone's comments on this site it seems that a compact washer would suit my family's needs.

I have landed on Miele given the current promotions available, $200 off , plus 25% off in Ontario (up to $500) for each unit. What I am having a hard time deciding is if the base model WWB020, which sells for $1999 CAN, would be sufficient, or if I should choose the next level up, the WWF060 which sells for $2599 CAN. Is it worth spending the extra $600?

Similar question regarding the dryer, should I go for the TWB120WP which is $1999 or the TWF160 which is $2399. Is it worth spending the extra $400?

I looked on Miele's website to see the difference between all the models, but I'm getting overwhelmed! I don't care for the wifi feature, but I am wondering if the other features are worth it. I am not familiar enough with some of those features to know their full value.

Unfortunately, the other models are out of my budget. :(

Thoughts?

Also, if anyone who went from a full size W/D to compact wants to share their experience, I would love to hear it! I am a little nervous about the change.

Main reason to go with the WWF060 over the WWB020 is if you want the extra cycles that are offered. I would recommend downloading the manuals for both to make sure you get the model that has everything you need. Personally I would go with the WWF060 because it offers a separate rinse cycle, this is great if you have any soap left in your clothes and you just want to run two rinses and spin quickly after. The other thing on the WWB020 is under extra options for a cycle, there is no option to add another (3rd) rinse or any option to set 'maximum rinse level' for extra water in the rinse cycle. Also minor, but WWB020 doesn't list a light in the drum. Spin speed on WWF060 can go up to 1600rpm (so clothes will dry faster), on WWB020 it's 1400rpm.

On the dryer, differences are a little less drastic. On the TWF160 you'll get the better interface, extra cycles, WiFi and it supports a basket as an accessory.

Cal, I think you've sold me on the upgrades. :)
