Most helpful reviewsMel, Birmingham Busy mum or dad
- Good points:
- Easy to use, very quiet, customisable programs and a program that washes very well in 20 mins.
- Bad points:
- Outlay expensive and some of the cycle times are quite long. The 1400 spin is good but not as good as I thought it might be.

- Good points:
- What can I say, it's a miele. Build quality looks to be excellent and it is very quiet in operation. Overall very pleased with all aspects of this machine. Bought to replace dyson machine that I was equally as impressed with. At time of purchase got 10 year parts and labour guarantee. Fantastic all round.
- Bad points:
- None yet, but with guarantee and high quality can't see any down side to buying this machine.

Here’s a list of the questions other shoppers have asked owners of the Miele W5740
-
Hello,
Does this machine have a 50 o wash option-
No, I don't think it does. I've only found 40 or 60.
-
There are selectable temp ranges 40, 60, 70 & 90 with the various wash options.
-
Yes if you select the cotton or intensive plus wash cycles.

Hi,
Can i wash a duvet in the w5740-
It depends on the size of it. I have a kingsize quilted bed spread which I manage to fit in. It is a case of managing to fit it in. The only duvet I have tried is a feather one which you can squash down to almost nothing. Anything with some bulk behind it and you would have some difficulty.
-
I personally have not washed a duvet in the machine but cannot see a problem - if you cannot shut the door then it is too large. Just give it a try - use the quick wash with extra water and see if it is clean.. You could give it two quick washes to see if that comes out clean. Hope that helps.
-
Assuming your duvet is machine washable, yes. We wash our double in there, it's a 6 tog goose down so it's quite thin.

I have just bought one of these; it doesn't seem to spin at 1400 as well as my previous Bosch did. I am surprised to see that the spin cycle is 8 minutes irrespective of chosen spin speed so at 1400 it doesn't run for long at maximum speed, it takes quite a long time to get to 1400 and doesn't spin at that speed for long. Is my machine faulty? Is every one else's the same as mine? I would have expected the spin cycle duration to be proportional to the selected spin speed.

Hi Jack,
Mine is the same, and I can't say I found it a problem. The plus of this machine is that it has variable temperature so I can wash on 50 degrees which was the most important feature to me.
There is no such thing as a perfect machine, but for the money, I'm sorry you are disappointed.
