What we like about Miele WSI863 WCS W1

  • A 1600 RPM spin gets most of the water out, so drying takes less time.
  • The spin is 68 dB and the wash is 47 dB, so it is quiet during the day.
  • Wi-Fi lets you start and check a wash from your phone.
  • Automatic dosing takes the guesswork out of detergent.
  • 23 programs and 25 advanced features cover most fabrics.
  • Water jets and automatic drawer cleaning keep the detergent drawer clean.

What we don't like about Miele WSI863 WCS W1

  • At 95 kg it is very heavy to move, so moving it takes two people.
  • At 64.3 cm deep it may not fit a shallow kitchen gap.
  • There is no extra rinse option for soapy loads.
  • The motor is covered for only 2 years.

Verdict

The Miele WSI863 WCS W1 is a premium 9 kg washing machine in energy class A. It boasts 23 washing programs and 25 advanced features. The TwinDos system automatically dispenses detergent, reducing consumption by up to 30%, and supports up to 37 loads per cartridge set. It features a powerful 1600 rpm spin cycle and low noise levels: 47 dB during washing and 68 dB during spinning. The AutoClean drawer cleans itself with water jets. Energy consumption is 49 kWh per 100 cycles, and water usage is 48 litres per cycle. Drawbacks include a heavy weight of 95 kg, a depth of 64.3 cm, and a motor warranty limited to 2 years. Missing functions include problem diagnostics, consumption statistics, and extra rinse. The Miele WSI863 WCS W1 is a high-quality machine offering excellent performance and advanced features, though it requires a significant investment and adequate space for installation.
