Manual of product WKR 500-70 CH
Editorial note
The Miele WKR 500-70 CH is a washing machine that stands out for its generous capacity of 9 kg, ideal for families or users with significant washing needs. Its maximum spin speed of 1600 rpm allows for perfectly spun laundry, which considerably reduces drying time. The integrated LCD screen offers a clear and intuitive interface, making it easy to select programs and track remaining time, thus contributing to a very positive user experience. However, a few drawbacks are worth mentioning. The model does not have a load balancing system, which could lead to premature wear if the load is not well distributed. Additionally, the lack of light inside the drum makes its use a bit more complicated in poorly lit environments. Although its noise level of 46 dB during washing is acceptable, the spin level reaching 72 dB can be bothersome in a quiet setting. The maximum cycle time of 179 minutes may also seem long compared to other models. From an energy perspective, the A+++ efficiency class and an energy consumption of 0.90 kWh per wash are major assets. However, the annual water consumption of 11,000 L could concern environmentally conscious users. Despite these few weaknesses, the value for money remains interesting, supported by comprehensive documentation that facilitates the handling of the device.Score details
