A Miele won't wash a few items unless it has Single Wash, according to their hotline? Must be another uninformed rep or they are being told to turn customer calls into sales pitches.
Either way, no washer will wash a small load as efficiently as a full load; neither Miele, nor Bosch. Miele might have the edge over Bosch when it comes to efficiency washing small loads. That being said, you'll probably have to wash several lifetimes of mini-loads to recoup the significantly higher purchase price through energy and water saved. | ||

Goodness, is that a sales trick?
I fully agree with Alexander, you can wash any size of load in both the Miele and the Bosch. It will cost a bit more for a small load, but because these machines are frugal with water anyway, I don't think you will go broke over that if you can afford such a machine. | ||

The miele experience centre told me the miele wont work with 2 shirts in it [...] the display will say "error"
So that's how well Miele sales employees are trained these days? 🤦🏻♂️ Even my profile pic Dreamspace washer says 1 to 11 kg on the control panel. Must be a miracle machine. All I can think of is that a single heavy item can lead to issues during the spin cycle, which is the case with every washer. As for Bosch or Miele. Well, the current BSH washers seem to be generally praised by all the washer enthusiasts on YouTube, some of them having owned a W1 before. The Mieles are getting some mixed reviews by them - I would suppose partially because people are very critical of a washer at that price point. From memory, I recall people disliking the programming of some cycles, e.g. Delicates defaulting to Spin & Spray. | ||

What features are important to you?
The training the Miele salespeople get today is woeful, to say the least!
You really break down what is important to you. Is it capacity, time, number of options, gentle laundry care? If time is important to you, then QuickPowerWash is good for everyday loads where you can wash them in under an hour. I use QPW without the quick option which allows you to wash up to 5 kg in about 1 hour 15 minutes and I use this for towels with good results. Express 20 which is fine for small loads and you can extend the time to 30 minutes without the quick function. Single wash sounds good on paper and allows you to wash again in a short time. I have seen on YT that if you load the machine with more than 1 kg and select single wash, the machine will use more water and vary the wash cycle. Capacity is again important if you tend to wash large loads often. The difference between an 8 and 9 kg machine is two bath towels. Most people think they are washing full loads when in reality they are washing half the claimed capacity of the machine. I tend to wash bedlinen on the Minimum Iron program at 60 degrees and never had any of my bedlinens damaged, even Frette bed linen. Something you haven't mentioned is the steam function of the machine. I find this very useful for t-shirts, shirts, and even bedlinen to reduce creases. I have a 9 kg W1, an older model and have been very happy with it. It doesn't have single wash, but I have never had a problem with washing small loads. | ||

Pre-ironing
Is the steam function on the Miele model you're looking at. It adds the steam function at the end of the program.
Just because your items are all cotton, the various programs are designed to treat the items with care. Most of my items are cottons and I use a variety of programs so I get the best care and minimise ironing. | ||
