Pros and cons

According to our washing machine expert

The SteamCare steam function reduces wrinkles in your laundry and freshens up your clothes without a wash.
You can wash your clothes cleaner and faster because PowerWash spreads the detergent evenly over your clothes.
You can thoroughly clean a half-full drum in 49 minutes with QuickPowerWash.
The washing machine doesn’t have TwinDos, so it doesn’t automatically dose detergent or wash your clothes extra thoroughly.
You can't wash a large load of bedding or clothes at once.

Description

With the Miele WEC 388 WCS PowerWash & Steam, you can save time with less ironing and fresher clothes. This washing machine uses steam to remove up to 50 percent of the wrinkles from your clothes. You can quickly freshen up dry, lightly worn clothes with the steam refresh program. Thanks to PowerWash, the washing machine mixes water and detergent in advance and sprays it over your laundry. This way, the detergent penetrates deeper into the fibers and you use less water. With the QuickPowerWash program, you can clean a half-full drum in 49 minutes. With the A-20% energy label, you can save up to € 270 on energy costs over the lifespan. The 1,600 RPM speed dries your laundry quickly. You can wash up to 8kg of laundry at a time.

Review is 10 out of 10.

Excellent machine as you would expect from Miele.

The laundry comes out very dry.
Really quiet.
Sufficient possibilities
Partly digitally controllable (this is not my personal preference)

We have chosen Miele again, mainly because of the durability and the noise: the machine is very quiet. Partly to be operated with a rotary knob and partly digitally. Very happy with the purchase.

Very happy with it

25 years ago, my ultimate washing machine test began: AEG versus the rest of the world. My old AEG put up a valiant fight, but after a quarter of a century, it had to retire. Time for a new challenger: the Miele WEC 388 WCS.

First impression? Wow. Quiet, smart, and almost too polite for words. It measures the water's grime, cares for my clothes like royalty, and pre-ironing feels like a mini spa for my shirts. I can hardly wait to see what it does as it ages—hopefully, it won't drink coffee and will continue to run faithfully like its predecessor!

The competition is back on. For now: very satisfied. And the real results? We'll see in 25 years. Exciting!
