Reviews
Miele 7kg 12 Program Front Loading Washing Machine - Lotus White (WCA020 WCS/11636040) is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 59.
Rated 4 out of 5 by from LED touchscreens are super annoying. Ditch ‘em! Looks promising - has many of the hallmarks of a Miele product which has earned the brand my loyalty - sturdy build, reliable so far (it has big shoes to fill - my last Miele washer lasted 17 years). But why they have moved away from a dial & embraced LED touchscreens for setting some aspects of the cycle, I’ll never understand. Dials are reliable and durable. LED screens are tedious to use (beep, beep, beep, beep every time you want to change the water temperature & no memory of your preferences); and far more likely to fail. So far, that’s my only complaint. I’ll be listening to those beeps every time I wash. A dial doesn’t need to remember. It just sits where you left it. Sigh.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Miele washing machine I'm disappointed as my last Miele had a wash cycle of 40 mins which I preferred and also I now can't put an ice cream container when I clean the water outlet down the bottom as it doesn't fit. Before I could empty it in one go.Don't like the anticrease after the cycle has finished as if you don't turn it off in time the clothes seem to get extra wet again and I have to put the extra 12 minute spin. After the 12 minute spin finishes I get all these suds remaining in the door down the bottom. Preferred my last machine purchased in 2007. It was a lot stronger. Please advise any solutions . Much appreciated.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Takes it’s time.. I have had my machine for a month and laundry has never taken so long! The shortest cycle for a normal load is 1 hour 39 minutes as opposed to 3 hours and 14 minutes… aside from the “Express” cycle which takes a mere 20 minutes to “refresh” clothing but is not a thorough wash cycle for a full load. The reason it takes so long is because the machine only takes in cold water and heats it up to the chosen temperature. These times are for 20 degrees only - for higher temperatures the cycle takes much longer! If I had known how long it takes to do a load of washing I would have chosen another type of machine.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Not working when delivered When we first tried to use the machine it would not work. Meile advised us to contact a repair agent. They came and looked over the machine which then started working. A few days later it stopped again. So we had the repair people come out again several times. The fault was intermittent. And the service people could not identify the fault. Since then it appears to be Woking ok however I’m concerned that one day it will stop and that may be when the warranty had expired. Should have been replaced immediately.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Brilliant machine I couldn't be happier with this washing machine, it's the third Miele washing machine I've had over the past 25 years & it's the best one yet. I use the 20 minute wash cycle as our clothing doesn't really get dirty just mainly sweaty. It's so quiet & quick, no sooner starts & it's finished. Our last machine was used every day & lasted 14 years, no kids now so we only use this one every couple of days & expect it to last a very long time. Just love it!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Washing times. This is my second Miele front loader. My only disappointment is that there is nothing between the Express 20 minute wash and the Cottons (Short) at 139 minutes for normal clothing. My old model had a 40 minute wash that I used regularly.
Date published: 2022-08-26
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Very happy with my purchase Having had Miele appliances for over 35 years it is not surprising that I opted for this washing machine when my old one required replacement a couple of months ago. So far I have found it to be an excellent washing machine. The only improvement I would suggest is a "medium length cycle" - this model has a 20 minute short wash with the next available cycle being well over an hour. Having said that the machine is very quiet and not intrusive at all. I am yet to try all of the features so cannot comment on these at this stage.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from a Washes well and super quiet. Wish it had shorter cycle than 1h 40 & longer than 20 min quick.

Questions & Answers

Is this model and the matching dryer stackable?

Asked by: Megan
Hi Megan. Yes you can stack the matching dryer on top of the front loading washing machine. When stacking the size of the machines need to be considered. The washing machine needs to be the same size, if not slightly larger than the dryer for stability. It is always recommended to use a stacking kit or at least a stacking mat. Hope this helps

Can you please indicate what the power requirements are. Its no good just indicating 4 star !! Going off grid and considering load implications. IE Power consumption maximum running demand. In Watts please.

Asked by: pleasehelp
Thanks for your question. We have consulted Miele regarding the product and they have advised the following power consumption information: Total rated load 2.3kW, 230V across 10A. They have also advised the machine should not be used with an independent energy source such as solar power or generator as when switching the machine on, power surges could result in a safety switch off, which could damage the electronics. This appliance must be earthed.

Does it have a hot water inlet

Asked by: Peter
Hi Peter. This model of washing machine does not have a hot water inlet. You connect to the cold water and it heats it's own water. Hope this helps
