I don’t think anyone could beat that thread Alex. That is by far the most impressive bearing change I have ever seen!

Re: Recommended Washing Machines
Hi,
Yes Miele can be expensive to put right. The machines are outstanding and I personally wouldn’t dismiss them for this.
All Miele machines are good quality and designed to do 5 washes a week and last 20 years. Obviously they are not infallable. Nothing is.
I am a fan of Miele and am also a fan of ISE. I have both and can say the quality of both makes won’t dissapoint. You won’t go wrong in my opinion buying either brand.

Re: Wash performance: Impressed
Yup, fully agree the ISE10’s wash performance is excellent, I think things may be slightly cleaner than from my 17 year old Bosch. No complaints in this area at all.

Re: Recommended Washing Machines
Hi,
I have an ISE10, do 4-5 full loads a week and the wash and rinse performance is excellent.
When we have cracked the soaping issue it will be perfect…………ISE and Asko are on that, so there is a good customer service.
Fully agree with my good friend Quickwash, ISE customer service is excellent.
Miele well worth considering as well.
Oliver. ๐

As you say there is a big price difference, so much so I don’t think it is fair to keep comparing them as you are doing on various threads. Little Giant cยฃ2890 or so and a 1 year commercial warranty (not sure about residential) ISE 1607W ยฃ899 and 3 year commercial warranty, 10 residential. You would not compare an ยฃ18,000 Toyota MX5 against a ยฃ55,000 Porsche Cayman would you (or a RAV4 against a Rangerover).
Hey, don’t get me wrong, I know you know your stuff, and spent your own money on the ISE10 and you are pleased with it (like I did/am). I just think any Miele comparisons should be against a similar priced model not a commercial market one to be fair to ISE. ๐
Check your PM’s Jaunty.

Yes cold pre-rinse is common on domestic machines, I’ve no clue what the Miele is up to as it is a pukka commercial.
You can add detergent to the pre-wash, yes but IIRC it washes cold. I don’t have a step chart to hand for the 1607 so can’t confirm 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} but I’d be 99{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}+ sure it’d be a cold wash only as a pre and I’d be very surprised if it were otherwise. Pre-wash is only supposed to “loosen” dirt for very heavily soiled garments and, these days, hardly anyone ever uses it in a domestic setting. Nowadays I think it’s only left there as a legacy thing harking back to the days (mind you all still with a hot fill still do it) the machine would fill from the hot supply before going on to a heavy cotton wash, usually only a 90รลกC or higher cycle.

Thank you Ken.
Every machine I have ever had does a warm about 35oC Prewash, this is why I asked. I am one of the few that does use this function as is my Mum, If you saw what the Miele had to cope with you wouldn’t ask why!! ๐
So its a Pre-rinse on the Asko then.
Miele has a choice, pre-rinse or pre-wash or both. Pre-wash temp selectable in supervisor mode 35oC, 45oC or 55oC. The pre-rinse is just a water rinse, no detergent, its for really bad soiling so you have the choice. Nice I think to have the options.
I’ll add a tiny bit of detergent when I use it then.
Miele has hot fill as well, its not connected though.
Thanks Ken.

Not had an answer yet Oliver, they got a note of this less than 24 hours ago. Normally a factory when it’s a serious technical question, will take at the very least 72 hours to respond but usually a week or so.
K.
I didn’t mean that bit I mean’t the Post script I put on my posrt above. I am not rushing for the technical bit, just the prewash / prerinse bit as I want t use the programme.
No rush on the other bit.
Best regards,

Re: As promised, review of the ISEW1607W.
Hi Ken,
Thanks again. ๐
It washes superbly, no question, probably as well as the commercial Miele, the Miele is alot faster though, that Honeycomb drum must have something to do with it? I like the fact they both wash with enough water, just lapping at the bottom of the door glass, it does a much better job than this 2 inch in the bottom of the drum stuff.
I am glad the eco ball has been dropped, it was a pain in the Hotpoint, so I chucked it! The Bosch had an eco-ball, but wasn’t a problem. I don’t know about the Miele, I would guess not as its commercial and designed for all sort of rubbish to go through!
I wash all my synthetic and cottons on cotton washes, have done for years and have never ruined anything, might be lucky, I don’t have enough clothes to seperate in to fabric groupings, so I just do it by colours, whites, heavy soil etc.
Thank you once again Ken,
All the best,
Oliver.
Oh. yes one other thing ๐ณ . The super wash adds a cold prewash (prerinse), should you add detergent to it. The Miele does a Pre rinse and then a prewash, but the detergent goes into the prewash. And is the heavy programme prewash heated?
Re: As promised, review of the ISEW1607W.
Hi Ken,
Thank you so very much for the quick reply.
I am really glad about the bearings. ๐
I use the “Colour/White” wash at 60oC and at 95oC for my work clothes, its the only cycle I use. I also have the “High water level” option permanently selected and of course “Super 7 rinse”. Either way its on maximum possible water use.
I can’t get my head round firstly why it doesn’t spin between all the rinses, like every other washer and why the spin doesn’t gradually run up so the pump can clear quick enough to stop it sudslocking at all. Seems daft to me as it is so simple.
It would help if it did a dilution rinse first, but it only does that on a boil wash to cool the water down. Can the machine be laptopped like a Miele to make it do this on all programmes?
Thank you for asking Sweden for me. It is a really good machine, by far the best I have ever had, but is let down by really silly things.
It doesn’t have an Economy programme.
Thanks again Ken,
Oliver.
PS. The Hotpoint was a WF530T, WMA design with Indesit electronics, complete demolishion job to do the bearings, but it never happened again after I removed the eco ball, top half of the filter cage and took my finest electric drill to the filter to allow faster water flow whilst still retaining the rubbish. ๐ .
Re: As promised, review of the ISEW1607W.
Right I have had the machine a few weeks now, so here is an update.
I am still over the moon with the wash and rinse performance, even my heavily soiled clothing comes clean, grease removed etc. I do boil that type of laundry though, but results still excellent.
I think my whites look whiter than they did in the old Bosch and my coloureds look brighter too. So it must wash slightly better.
However it has a problem. :rolls: Everytime I wash the 60oC coloured load (jeans, jumpers, t-shirts, undies and socks, plus the odd cleaning cloth), which is not overloaded, the machine will persist on sudslocking on both the intermediate spin after the wash and 3rd rinse. Now before anybody accuses me of using too much powder, I only use 35ml in this load where I should be using 170ml. I use Ariel the bio and bleach stuff, not that colour care rubbish that doesn’t remove BO. If I use any less I won’t be using any at all. :rolls:
I used to use Persil, a far less soapy powder than Ariel, but that too sudslocks the machine. What am I going to have to do? Us a powder specially for commercial machines, that costs a fortune? Luckily I have access to such a product because of my job.
When I do a load of towels with 35ml it doesn’t sudslock, towels are normally the worst for this, so this happening on the coloured load is inexplicable.
Now my concern, I had to change a set of Hotpoint bearings at two and a half years old because of sudslocking, the foam was forced past the wate seal and knackered the bearings. I modefied the Hotpoint to stop it happening again and it worked. So in two years or so am I going to have knackered bearings again?
It will affect the rinse performance as well, it only spins twice through out the whole rinse cycle (7 rinses), so the last thing I need is the spins to be hampered by foam.
I need someway to stop it doing this, so please can you help.
Thanks.
Oliver.

That is only your opinion to which you are very much entitled. ๐
I never said which was best. However having an ISE10 and a Miele Little Giant PW6065 I can easily compare.
Miele is better than ISE 10 but there isn’t alot in it, however the Miele is far cleaverer (is that a word?) as in it sorts its own problems out such as sudslock.
Both good machines, but the Miele should be better there is one hell of a price difference! ๐
