Editorial note

The Miele WCA 020 WCS Active is a washing machine that combines elegance and functionality. Its modern design, paired with a backlit LED screen, facilitates interaction while harmoniously fitting into various interiors. With a capacity of 7 kg and 12 washing programs, it offers flexible use suitable for different types of textiles. Additionally, the AquaStop function ensures protection against water leaks, thereby enhancing safety during use. However, some drawbacks are worth noting. The energy efficiency class B may not be suitable for those seeking appliances with higher efficiency, and the 7 kg capacity might prove insufficient for large families. Furthermore, the spin noise level of 72 dB can be perceived as disturbing, especially in apartments where noise is an important factor. The lack of a load balancing system could also lead to excessive vibrations, affecting the stability of the appliance during operation. In terms of performance, the Miele WCA 020 WCS Active receives positive ratings, with a smooth user experience thanks to its intuitive controls. However, its weight of 80 kg can make installation and movement difficult, particularly in tight spaces. Finally, while the availability of documents such as the user manual and energy label is a plus, the volume of 81 pages may seem excessive for some users. Overall, the Miele WCA 020 WCS Active is a quality washing machine, offering good value for money, but it may require some adjustments to fully meet the needs of all users.
