Enjoyed this video very much. Good job, Dennis and of course good job, Steve!
I currently own a Bosch set I had since 2006 & it’s still going strong & I’m considering sticking with Bosch I never had no issues with them ! Not a single repair. Then I was looking at the GE two & one & the LG two & one .
Maytag Neptune brings back memories and not all good. My son is still running our old units and I cross my fingers! Thanks for the informative review. I hope other Mfgs jump into the all in one units. Like the GE but lint and drying seem to be issues
Great video guys! Presidents’ Day sales are ending Soon and I’m still on the fence but learning towards the wash tower…
My Miele washer and dryer is almost 30 years old and still going strong, and it spins at 1600 RPM.
Just don’t bet on the new Miele lasting that long…Quality has really taken a nosedive
My Maytag washer and dryer was new in 2006. Washer just broke down (and no maintenance!). I sure wish appliances were still made to last.
I have the GE Ultrafast, I’m now averaging 3 hour run times and at the end clothes are still damp. The lint filter trap is flawed, there is blow-by at the rear of filter and allows the lint to get past and accumulate in the heat pump condenser fins. I really wanted this system to work as it frees up a lot of space in a small laundry room, but it doesn’t work.
Great video!
I really hope Bosch updates its washer and dryer in North America and gives us the European version that’s been out for over a year. The Bosch units sold in Europe have auto dosing like the Miele, look beautiful and are a fraction of the price.
I hope they start selling their European serie 8 appliances here too. We get decade old ovens at premium prices instead…
If not, might have to make a trip back home and freight over our new kitchen. Serie 8 accent line? Yes please!!
Very excited to see where heat pump dryers are in the next few years in terms of reliability and tech advancements.
Me too
Hi Pete from Australia again. Just started watching the upload and heard you mentioned the dos automatic dispense system on the Miele. As you know I've been a tech for over 20 years and guess what system fails on the miele washing machine with automatic dispense system. Yes it's the dispense system. The common fault is it starts to leak causing flood fault error. The customer can still use the manual dispenser draw but if I've paid big dollars for automatic dispense why would I use it. Just thought I would let you know. Customers actually trade in their Mieles because it's way too expensive to repair when they can do it manually. LOL. Luv the channel. Pete from Australia
Thanks Pete.....I haven't found that problem on the ones we have sold. But thanks for the tip.
Great informative video. Would you be able to post the part/model numbers of the Miele washer and dryer? I want to make sure I purchase the correct units you reviewed. Thanks !
Skip the Miele go with AEG if you really want European.Just saw the review from LG with a teardown that thing looks really well built..Review was done by that Maytag guy
Great information as usual. We recently got a Miele Vacuum cleaner, and based on that, Miele got my attention...
I love that vacuum.....
Miele vacuums are so great… I don’t know how people pay 3x the price for a Dyson, that doesn’t even manage 60% of the Miele performance!?
My Dyson, and my parent's Dyson failing for 2 completely different reasons are why I got a Miele vacuum. Miele is why I watched this video; as our GE washer is unrepairable and our Whirlpool dryer is about to die.
Miele washer and dryers are awesome! I love mine.
Newer models aren’t really that good at least the heatpump dryers and they don’t last as long as they used to
Great video. You mention Bosch needs a refresh, but isn’t the Miele now ~4-5 year old design? Also curious if Miele would bring the combo unit available in Australia to the US.
2019 for Miele when they went all heat pump
Looking forward to the Bosch but wondering about the Miele washer and the capacity. Can it handle a King comforter? And I was told that the cycles took longer than other machines. True?
You will need to stuff...I had a Miele, but can't remember...Bring one into your appliance store.
Good review. Are you talking just dryer or washer dryer combo for Miele? Which Miele model?
They dont have a combo...just heat pumps dryers
@@YaleAppliance1 darn for a second there I thought I had missed the launch of Miele washer dryer combo 😁
Do you know if the LG DLHC5502 will ever be released? I have an interior row home making venting tough (old dryer is under the electrical panel so will need to be moved), and the wash tower is too tall for my basement 😢
Not sure.....
"15-20 years" life expectancy is terrible for a unit that sits in an air conditioned home. My Maytag Atlantis has been operating for 24 years and I just had the first failure. The water pump. Replaced and working again for 25.00. These Miele are 2499 MSRP. For that price and a unit made in Germany the life expectancy should be 30 years+. Also, I have seen a video here which states that the mobile connectivity is "not active on these units". Can you comment on which Miele have mobile connectivity please. Love your channel. I get all my initial research here. Thank you.
Somewhere in YT someone mentioned that the LGTower with heat pump when compared with the GE All in One, the clothes from the LG tower come toasty dry while the GE are not, can you confirm that?
We have a blog post and UA-cam video on that......dont thnk comforters come out toasty. LG will in 4-5 hours using their sensors, but it depends on time. Both will need extra time
Only thing I’d like to mention is the higher rotational speed during the spin cycle of the smaller Miele washer does not always equal a higher centripetal acceleration when compared the larger slower spinning drums of the GE/LG combos. This is keeping in mind they are both in different classes since we are compare dedicated to combo units. I haven’t done the math, but a 1300 rotational speed on a 5 cubic foot unit could have a higher centripetal force than the higher speed 1600 rpm of the 2.4 cubic foot Miele. Kind of like comparing apples to oranges, but it’s important to remember when comparing the small German units currently on the market versus any newer larger models from any manufacturer.
So noted. I owned a Miele years ago. It spins the clothes pretty dry. You also have to calculate the amount of clothes as well.
@@YaleAppliance1 What do you own now? I have LG and they've been great for 15 years... But thinking of eventually replacing them with Miele. I have a Miele dishwasher now after never hearing of them. And I really like it. Also, the Miele might fit nicely in my primary bedroom closet, which would be very convenient.
Awesome reply. Didn't really think about it, but of course it's a number any Miele rep wants to tout when in reality the results are about the same.
Good point.
The Dutch Consumer Reports actually test residual moisture weight of clothes after spin. Miele 1600rpm (in 9kg /20lbs drums) is way always on top of LG and Samsung (even with bigger capacity and similar specs) and only a little better than Bosch/Siemens (BSH group). Keep in mind a bigger load drum will also generally contain more clothes so more water. But in the tests they equal this out to same loads.
If I've done my research correctly - the only units that run on 110V are the Miele and GE Combo, correct?
and now LG
I do see a fair amount of complaints on the ge regarding lint
Sorry but on the problems I noticed on heat pump units and condersor dryer is.the lint will always find a way to the water waste system that activates the pump to transfer the water to the dispenser draw for removal. The float gets jammed with lint. Even in the Bosch units . All the best Pete
Self cleaning lint traps...supposedly. that lint is flushed through the system to where as my techs say.
Had an AEG heat pump dryer here in the UK for 12 years never had a problem with lint getting into the pump, of affecting the float
I bought a large whirlpool heat pump clothes dryer in 2015. Works great. I think they still make them. Curious why you didn’t mention them.
Thanks again! Still would appreciate more detail on the LG heat pump washtower…. How is it that lint isn’t a problem with it if the dryer is ventless, it has coils, and just uses a standard lint filter like vented dryers? I know vented WashTower’s certainly let lint into their vents, so wouldn’t the heat pump dryer in the WashTower let lint past it filter to gum up the coils, too?
I get and agree with the notion that the WashTower with heat pump dryer would have an advantage over the WashCombo from having a larger dryer to let the clothes from a smaller washer have more room to tumble dry.
But, does the heat pump in the WashTower have any more power or heating capacity than the one in the WashCombo? If not, why does it require a 240V/30A circuit while the WashCombo needs only 120V/15A?
Good questions.....washers remove lint as it turns out. So the WashTower doesnt have the issues of the combos. The WashTower has shorter cycle times as well. We will have a video comparing both soon.
I've had a LG combo for a month now. Yeah, the coils will grab some lint and you need to clean them probably every 10 loads. It is very simple and takes a couple mins. Even more importantly, this unit just creates less lint overall. Like along the lines of 15-25% of what you are used to. It's that significant.
Heat pumps normally have 2 or 3 filters, 1 filter like normal that needs cleaning every time you empty the dryer and the others just require being g cleaned once a month, this helps keep
Lint out of the rest of the machine
Thanks. Looking forward to the video.
One question, though, about the statement “washers remove lint”…. If so, then wouldn’t the combo units also remove lint during their wash cycles and flush it out of the drain with the water just like a standalone washer does-before the dry cycle even starts?
What about Speed Queen; are they going to offer heat pump dryers & stackable?
Haven't seen it
Any update on if Samsungs is any good? I know they have their Bespoke 7.8 cu. ft. Heat Pump now.
Not yet.....we will see ours in a few weeks
You didn't cover the new LG heat pump dryer DLHC5502B?
Video was out before the unit...we will review at a later date.
LG sells a compact heat pump dryer which is a lot cheaper than Bosch or Miele. Is this a good unit?
Not sure....
We bought two sets of Miele washer/heat pump dryer last year and love them. The machines will tell you what you need to do. The biggest thing is to learn how to operate it and do the filter clean and other maintenance.
You have to clean that secondary filter....The "Plinth" filter
@@YaleAppliance1 absolutely. We bought a couple spare plinth filters so when we remove one we can immediately replace it while we clean the other and are letting it dry. The “system” works out well. I believe y’all may have told us that might be a good option, and it has been 😊
How does the newly updated Bosch compare?
Reliable...at least the old ones were. Its like Miele just without as many features
My mum in the UK bought her second Miele washing machine a couple of years ago after being really happy with her previous one which lasted years. Nothing but trouble with it! Shame.
👍🏼
I have a 10yr old Asko washer and 16yr old Asko Condenser dryer. The Asko absolutely beats Miele, both for washing effectiveness and also being gentler (something which Miele places absolute emphasis on).
My Asko machines are domestic units, primarily used at home for personal use but I often launder hotel linens (kitchen towels, bed linen and table cloths) during busy periods. I have purchased both a Miele Professional washer and dryer for use at the hotel and whilst great machines (very expensive)… they do not compare to the quality of the domestic Asko units, the Asko machines simply do a far better job in terms of washing ability and build quality.
The Asko units have stainless steel inner & outer drums, spins at 1800rpm, perform better, and the build quality of the steel just feels superior. The Asko washer is definitely louder over Miele, but they also don’t have the rubber bellow seal at the door🤷♂️
The Miele Professional dryer has already required a belt replacement and (whilst completely unrelated) a mates 8yr old Miele washing machine has had to have the motor brushes replaced.
Loved Asko. We were one of the first to sell it. But that was four companies ago.
If your store sells Miele but does not know how to fix it, they destroy the unit. Happened on our 10 year old Miele washer where the washer cycle got confused so when you made a selection on the display, the machine did the wrong cycle. The repair man came, "fixed it by reprograming it," left and when we tried to use the machine it ran in half the time it used to - and did not work at all! They came back and said that is how it worked. Except now it did not clean anything. Tried a second place, they failed to fix it as well. So we are done with Miele. We bought LG because people near us know how to fix it and Miele only lasted 10 years. However, the compact dryer is still the original Miele which is now 22 years old but seems to be failing now so we don't know what to replace it with.
Misleading title; you only ranked two brands for the dryers (Miele & Bosch). Ther others were washing-combo's.
With heat pumps....
LG with wash tower with a trap door into the dryer would be the best of all worlds. Better than an all in one. Let me know when to expect the royalty checks.
Don't check that mailbox in a while.
Wouldn’t love to see LG washtower with automatic dosing
so would I
Miele. A salesman really has to do some proper qualifying there unless he wants a return on his hands...
No question...isnt for everyone
Miele runs in 120volt! Should be 220volt. Beko/Blomberg is 220 volts-4.5 cubic ft drum.
It runs on 120 with almost identical wash/dry times as Miele
Bosch on B??!!!
Yes....A for reliability...
@@YaleAppliance1🤩
Miele
AEG
BOSCH
ELECTROLUX
LG
AEG and Electrolux aren't in the US with heat pump. Its odd because Electrolux was the first with heat pump drying.
