What we like about Miele WSG363 WCS

  • 16 washing programs cover delicates, shirts and jeans.
  • The drum, tub and hinges are stainless steel.
  • A delayed start and a phone alert tell you when the wash finishes.
  • Water jets spray over clothes to lift stains.
  • Mini Load saves energy when you wash just one favorite item.
  • The Night/Silent option keeps the machine quiet when it runs late.

What we don't like about Miele WSG363 WCS

  • At 93 kg, it takes real effort to move.
  • The touch panel looks dated next to modern touchscreens.
  • The lint filter flap may not open fully if the machine sits on a drip tray.
  • A lack of an extra rinse is a gap for sandy or soapy laundry.
  • The motor is covered for only 2 years.

Verdict

The Miele WSG363 WCS is a premium washing machine that excels in energy efficiency, achieving energy class A with a consumption of only 49 kWh per 100 cycles. It operates quietly with noise levels of 48 dB during washing and 68 dB during spinning. The machine includes smart features like the AutoClean detergent drawer, AquaStop water leak protection, and Wi-Fi connectivity for remote control. With 16 specialised washing programs and 22 advanced features, including steam technology and Mini Load mode, this 9 kg washing machine caters to diverse laundry needs. Downsides include a high price, a considerable weight of 93 kg, and a depth of 64.3 cm that may pose challenges in tight spaces. The motor warranty is limited to 2 years, and the machine lacks features such as an anti-stain cycle, problem diagnostics, and consumption statistics, which may disappoint some buyers in this price range.
