I believe . . That the 1215 has a 6KG capacity. I'm not sure what that translates into as far as cubic feet. Bryan | ||

My mum has a W3922WPS, which is a UK 6kilo model - however the US 6kilo machines are even larger than my mum's so I would suppose it has more than ample capacity. Jon

Byran, both are rated at 6 kilos however the European models have a 6 kilo 55 litre volume drum; and a standard sized unit; whereas the US 6 kilo models have a 59 litre drum, and are slightly deeper than the standard 5 kilo models. Jon | ||

Ah, cool. Thanks for the clarification. I guess that's one of the VERY FEW advantages the US Mieles have over the UK ones. I guess that extra 4 litres of H2O is supposed to make up for the fact that our machines are so dumbed down here? LOL. | ||

Consumer Reports did a test several years back and came to the conclusion that most washing machines perform best if loaded slightly under the stated capacity. Weight is not a very good indicator of laundry loads for a start. Just three or maybe four hyge,thick and thirsty towels is pretty much what my 5KG Miele will take before it lets me know it is not happy. Then again my unit is an older model and uses lots of water for both washing and rinsing. If the unit loaded too much with heavy items, one can hear the tub scuffing the bottom of the washer as the load bounces around. Thankfully Miele's have good suspension systems. Problem with top loaders is that unless well designed, over loading will cause the washing action to come to a stand still, with items near the agitator taking a pounding, while there is little or no roll over to bring everything else into action.

I have a US Miele W-1213
i wash alot of loads that I do fill it up.More so that the Maytag Neptune 4000 that would choke on blankets.I love the honey comb drum in the Miele, and it has a built in heater.I only have it hooked to the cold water so all water is heated to the exact temp that i set. i even reduced the amout of soap that I use in it from my old machine, it is very efficient. This is my two cents.
