Full review
Miele's WT1 WTD160 WCS is smaller than the rest, at 8 kg wash and 5 kg dry, but it is the most efficient washer dryer in this comparison. Miele UK lists wash-and-dry energy of 266 kWh per 100 cycles (class D) and 47 kWh for washing only (class A), with 68 litres of water for a full wash and dry. The complete cycle takes 389 minutes at rated load, the shortest here. Spin is 1500 rpm and 71 dB(A), noise class A.
The Honeycomb drum is gentle on fabrics and the DuraLife inverter motor is designed for a long life. There is no TwinDos on this model, but CapDosing lets you add Miele capsules for special items. Miele@home adds app control, push notifications and remote updates.
At 94 kg and 637 mm deep it is solid, and the price is the highest here. Miele UK did not state the warranty length on the product page, so check the terms with your retailer. Choose it if you will use the dryer function often and want the lowest running costs.
