Miele T1 Woolens / Silk Cycle Time? |

As we progress with our kitchen remodel, we’ve been doing much needed cleaning and organizing throughout the house. I was washing some wool items and selected Woolen / Silks on the dryer. Cycle time was only 5 minutes and not adjustable. I checked in the App and it was the same (pic attached) and not adjustable.
I could understand a short dry time for silks or light cashmere. However, 5 minutes won’t do anything for some heavier wool fabrics. I ended up using the Delicates cycle and everything came out flawlessly. Why would they have a non adjustable dry time? I’m sure there is some good Miele logic behind it but I’m not getting it. Bob

My Bosch heatpump dryer`s wool cycle takes only 6 minutes too.
It`s not meant to dry anything its only purpose is to fluff things up after line drying or "flat" drying because wool is very susceptible to mechanical agitation and thus might felt badly if dried in a dryer. If I had an expensive wool sweater or similar I`d rather give it a gentle shake after drying than putting it through the stress of one of those wool cycles in a dryer. On the other hand for fake wool like Acrylic any low heat cycle will do fine. | ||

Lux pioneered absolutely nothing when it comes to tumble drying woollens.
Bosch had dryers in the late 1970s that had a wool cycle for fully drying woollen garments. The drum rotaries at speeds of around 100rpm with gentle heating. Indesit seems to be the first washing machines that had 80/100rpm wash speeds on wool garments - the new evolution range they brought out in early 2000 | ||

I totally forgot about the old BSH versions, correct. ELux however made that popular again today. | ||
