Worth it
Always wondered if they lived up the hype and they do. They definitely aren't the cheapest but I am so glad I saved a little longer. It's quiet, it washes brilliantly, the quick 20-minute option is great for late-night uniform washes!
Purchased in November 2021 at The Good Guys.

Impressed with our 20 year old Miele and my son purchased above model two years ago
Have been using a Miele for 20 years and have not had one single issue. Consequently my son purchased a Miele 18 months ago and loves it especially the pre ironing facility. Has had no issues at all. My other son son has just purchased a WKG 130TDos. He is experiencing issues with the TDos and Miele is actively trying to solve the problem. They believe the actual cartridges may be faulty. Watch this space!

Just like the dryer, it is worth every cent
Our old Samsung washing machine which we paid almost $1000 for 6 years ago finally packed it in for good. It had died after 3 years and 1 month. At the time I paid for the extended warranty so we managed to get it "fixed". Now when I say fixed I mean they basically got it to spin again, but it was never the same. Noisier than a 747 and constantly having problems with it.
Much like the dryer we replaced we decided no more of this buying "cheaper" machines, we want something that actually lasts. We have 4 children so having something that is e...Read more
fficient and effective that will be used more than the average, it was important we got something quality. Having already purchased a Miele dryer and being so impressed with it, we decided to buy a Miele washing machine as well. This model was currently on sale so we bought it on the spot. Down to $1699 with free delivery it was hard to pass up. We purchased it last week on Tuesday night and it was delivered and installed Thursday morning and since then we have already put it through its paces. It has plenty of settings and simple to use and almost silent. Clothes come out looking less tangled and tortured if that makes sense. This thing weighs a ton, not exactly, but compared to all of the machines we have had so far, most definitely more than the average machine. It feels far more sturdy and robust and just everything about it is simplistic but well made.3 comments

Loads of functions and great on price!
We went to buy a LG but the prices were outragus and this model was on sale so we picked it turning out to be the best buy we've done in the past 3 years! It washes just the same as the big name brand and cleans just as good!

Love this Washing Machine ❤️
First time I have ever owned a front loader. Done my homework on them went to buy a Bosch. That went out the window... Miele with their sale on won me. Super quiet, simple display, my washing is looking the best it ever has especially my towels . Sad to say but I actually love doing the washing now.

Great to use
Easy to use, great options for different cycles. Cleans great and everything comes out almost dry with a fast spin!
Generally quiet, quick cycles helps do a few loads in a short amount of time. Drum is a bit small. Clothes turn out good don’t really notice any wear on the clothes.

Very disappointed
This machine tangles clothes very badly in the wash. I have had 5 calls to Miele, and a recent service call, to no avail to date. I am now told I need to wash groups of items separately. I did not have to do that in the Asko machine that I owned previously. I am still awaiting some resolution to the problem. The service visit resulted in a 'software upgrade' to no avail. Not recommended

Best companion to cloth nappies!
This machine and it's partner in crime dryer have been the staples of our home over the past 6 months. Having a newborn in modern cloth nappies makes you a bit of a slave to your laundry room. Fortunately the Miele washer set have been outstanding, a rapid rinse, and efficient but effective wash have left our cloth nappies looking nearly new after dozens of washes.
It washes all the other clothes well too!

Can't live without it.
Wonderful machine. Uses half washing powder and has a quick and easy washing programme.There are big savings on water usage and washing powder. I can't believe how brilliant this machine is. Makes life much easier.
Would recommend Miele for any products in the home. They may be a little bit expensive but believe the savings in the end are worth it.

Works great n a few issues
It works pretty well except some deep stain is not removed completely.
It doesn't wear out my clothes. The majority are well-cleaned. I don't have to worry about my clothes being ripped or stuck with laundry powder.
It's quiet when i wash clothes that don't have big button.I I don't have a favuorite feature.

Washes really well and doesn't seem to damage the clothing if you follow the settings.it is quiet enough to still listen to the TV and I was really happy when I put the missuses dry clean only blanket in it. Using the delicate setting it came out unharmed. good job Miele

Great Meile washer
Gosh my towels have never been fluffier until this machine. Download the manual and read it well as we needed to set our delicate option . It was not washing well on delicate cycle so we had to program that in. Lots of washing cycle options. I love the express, the dark cycle. The soaker cycle really helps to get stains out of clothes. The rice only cycle is quick.

Just love it EXCEPT :-
I have only had my first front loader washing machine for 3 months & love it EXCEPT FOR the washing of towels. They dry rough & hard, not soft & cuddly. Please, could someone tell me the best settings to use for good results when washing towels. I would be eternally grateful.

Perfect for My needs Highly Reccomend!
It cleans the washing very well without using too much water. It has a lovely variety of washing cycles that can be used. It does have some longer cycles on it. The cycle I mostly use is 59 minutes and that works very well. The machine is very gentle on clothes and it works quietly in the laundry. My favourite feature is that it is 8.5 kg and is capable of doing a big load of towels or two lots of queen size sheets in one load.

It does wash clothes probably
My clothes get holes after wash
Since I bought, I am trying to find out which is the best option but none of is working including delecate cycles. Even doing machine clean cycle it's gives hygienic info error on screen and when I called Miele they said they are aware of this issue and I just ignore this error. Very bad customer service I've ever seen. I used to have Fisher & Paycle and it is much more better than Miele. I spend fortune money for this washer, I could get 3 washer in same price I pay for Miele. Service call is very expensive. Now I m thinking of sell this machine and buy F&P. Never buy Miele

Miele WKB130 my clothes have never been so clean!
I purchased the Miele WKB130 as recommended from a discerning friend who raved about hers. Being short on time, I actually purchased over the phone from their unboxed warehouse and had delivered 2 days later. I couldn’t be happier. My first front loader. Was used to a 15 yo top loader. The minimum iron function on the dial allows me to run a load before I leave for work and get into the dryer. And SUPER clean using their white powder, which you use only half a scoop of. Highly recommend. Worth the spend, especially as on sale.

Love it
I purchased this washer after having a bad experience with a fisher & paykel that had nothing but problems. Never had a front loader before. Well, I love it. Washes beautifully, quick wash is awesome. Done in 20 minutes. So easy to use. I was sceptical but have converted to front loaders.

Miele is German engineering at its best
We've had this washer for 15 years and it hasn't missed a beat.
It's getting a bit more noisy these days but it still works as good as ever, it's seen us through raising out family and washing loads every day.
We wondered about spending the extra at the start but have never regretted it.

How much did this machine cost in 2017
1 answer
Hi there. on 17 March 2017 we paid $1849 for the equivalent model. We had to replace it in September 2018 because of floods and the new model WKG130 cost us $1999 which included some detergent. Not sure if this helps.

when a cycle is in progress how can I find out how much time is left till completion? The LED display goes out about 10 min into the wash.

Just press the screen on the side where the time is displayed and it will light up and stay visible for a few minutes

Hi Tanya, the washing machine display, has switched off automatically to save energy. The display will return, when you press the (On/Off) push button. This feature can be turned ‘off’, as per instructions in the ‘Settings’ section of the operating manual. (pg. 73-75.) Kind regards, Joel.
