    Verdict

    Miele WTD 163 WCS uses a durable ProfiEco inverter motor that ensures low noise during spinning at just 71 dB and supports a high spin speed of 1500 RPM. It keeps energy and water use impressively low, with only 47 kWh and 47 liters per wash, making it one of the more efficient models available. With smart connectivity via Wi-Fi and app controls, 19 integrated features, and 10 drying programs, it adapts easily to varied laundry needs. The Honeycomb Drum protects fabrics, while the CapDosing system simplifies detergent use for specialized clothing. Some limitations include a smaller 8 kg washing and 5 kg drying capacity, no steam or pre-wash function, and just 11 washing programs. The 2-year motor warranty is also shorter than many in its class, and it lacks extras like refresh cycles or AI features. Despite the high build quality, the overall price-to-performance ratio could be better.
