Doesn't sound encouraging :-( The other option I have is W5780. Any better? Thank you. |

I have exactly those models of washer (WKH120 WPS) and dryer (TKG440 WP). I've had them for the last 18 months. Before moving to Spain, we had the W5780 and matching vented dryer T8722 in the UK. I could go into great detail if you wish, but I guess you're just looking for a general overview.
I think the WKH120 WPS is a very good and very sophisticated washing machine. You can throw it a curveball and it will deal with it just fine. It seems able to adapt to any kind of load or situation and produce excellent results. It has additional features over the W5780, most of which I think are not worth bothering with. I've stopped using the twin dos and I don't bother with the steam option. It's a fantastic machine but I would be pretty much just as happy with the W5780 although the WKH120 WPS does have the edge.
As for the dryer TKG440 WP, it dries very well and will get clothes completely dry while giving out far less heat to the room than a traditional condenser dryer. It does tangle my particular bedding. I've had Miele out to update the software but it still only reverses for 10 seconds every 5 minutes and will ball my bedding. I would prefer to go back to my vented T8722 as it was faster and left fewer wrinkles. Being vented, it left the load cool at the end, rather than hot. The best dryer I have ever had was a Maytag Neptune gas vented dryer when I lived in the States. It was fast, big, left few wrinkles and I liked it a lot. I would say that you should only get a condenser dryer if you definitely absolutely cannot have a dryer vent installed in your chosen location. |
