My existing bush machine is loud (75db on spin) as it’s only 4/5m away from living room that’s not ideal
I live alone, I do 3 loads most weeks, occasionally 4 always a easycare 40c wash or a 60c wash for towels etc
budget is around £400
unless your machine makes more noise now than when it was new you are going to struggle
miele 74db
even a £1000 miele is 72db
Dave
existing is rated at 79db, I’m not sure in practice how much I’d notice 5-7db. I think its getting louder, but it maybe more in my mind than anything. I expect I need to look more into the location of the machine, when the kitchen is redone
well bush is a cheap end washer
brand name is owned by argos who source from the cheapest supplierMiele on the other hand is in a whole class of it own. its unlikley you would hear much from it till it spins and then with the increased weight will be a lot quieter. you will probably find your machine will be quietest on concrete floors
Dave
It’s on a concrete floor already. The washing machine came with the house, you can tell its not the most refined peice of engineering. Good to know that Miele is likely to be quietest
Could the Bush with it’s poor engineering be at the end of it’s life being noisy?
I think anything you replace it with will be better than the Bush!!

what about a bosch at a similar price point to the Miele, https://www.bosch-home.co.uk/product-list/washers-dryers/washing-machines/front-load-washing-machines/WAU28S80GB is 72db spin 49db wash, I see it at £599
It’s okay.
I would still rather have this Miele https://www.johnlewis.com/miele-wea025-freestanding-washing-machine-7kg-load-1400rpm-a-energy-rating-white/p4985108

seems to have an idos system so make sure you dont have to buy specific detergent at infllated prices
Dave
yeah both have the ecosilence drive (whatever that actually is), but the one with idos is somehow quieter. I do worry that idos might be a bit too clever for its own good
ecosilence drive is just Miele’s name for the type of motor a lot of maunfacturers are using. this motor has no brushes so has no noise when in use. on a normal motor the bushes make a zzz noise when its turning. it means on the wash programme you may have to look at the machine to know its on
Dave
correct but a 3 phase induction motor fed with an electronically generated variable frequency 3 phase supply
