Third-party reviews

What we like about Miele TMB640WP

  • The 8 kg capacity takes a full load of towels or bedding.
  • At 62 kg it has a solid feel that suggests a sturdy build.
  • The Eco name in the model points to energy saving.
  • It comes from the Miele brand.
  • Its weight means it stays put once it is in place.
  • It suits a household that does big weekly washes.

What we don't like about Miele TMB640WP

  • At 62 kg it is very heavy to move.
  • Delivery and stairs can be hard with a machine this heavy.
  • Its weight makes it a poor fit for renters who move often.
  • It takes a fixed spot, which is awkward in a small home.

Verdict

The main limit of the Miele TMB640WP is its weight, which is 62 kg. It holds 8 kg, enough for a family's full load of towels or bedding. For an 8 kg drum, the 62 kg body is a lot of machine to shift. The model name includes Eco, a hint that energy saving is part of the design. It suits a family with a fixed utility room who wants a big load and does not mind a heavy machine. Moving it is a job for two people, so think about delivery and the stairs. If the weight is no problem, it is a sound choice for a family's weekly wash. Think of it as a fixed fixture rather than a portable dryer.
