Third-party reviews

What we like about Miele WSG663 WCS

  • Automatic dosing measures detergent for each load.
  • 16 washing programs and 20 downloadable ones give plenty of choice.
  • Steam freshens clothes and eases creases.
  • Wi-Fi connectivity links the washer to a phone.
  • The 9 kg drum takes a big load in one go.
  • Water jets help lift stains from clothes.

What we don't like about Miele WSG663 WCS

  • Weighing 93 kg, it needs a firm floor and help to move.
  • The 64.3 cm depth needs a generous spot against the wall.
  • There is no extra rinse function, which matters for sandy or soapy loads.
  • The motor is covered for only 2 years.

Verdict

The Miele WSG663 WCS is a 9 kg washing machine in energy class A, designed for exceptional daily performance with minimal energy consumption of 49 kWh per 100 cycles. Noise levels are kept low at 48 dB during washing and 68 dB during spinning. The TwinDos system is the highlight of this model, offering automatic detergent dispensing that saves up to 30% and supports 37 wash cycles per cartridge set. The AutoClean drawer cleans itself automatically after each use. The machine includes 16 specific programs and 21 advanced features, such as AquaStop, steam technology, and Wi-Fi connectivity for smart control. Potential issues include its large dimensions, with a depth of 64.3 cm and a weight of 93 kg, a motor warranty of just 2 years, and the absence of features like an anti-stain cycle, problem diagnostics, and consumption statistics display.
