Paudi88 I thought it was like that but I wanted to ask someone that owns one like you, just to be certain 😊

Just one more question. I see from your video that you really like the TwinDos system, but would you say it is a big game changer and you couldn't live without the TwinDos function?

Thank you! Yes, it really is :)

Hello! I would go by the maximum weight, so I would input the dosage for normal soiling for a 9kg. The machine will then calculate down for lighter loads I assume or increase it for heavy soiling. But Miele don't mention weight in the manual. As mentioned, I think the system works best with their detergents.

It's impossible - unless you tell the machine that it contains delicate detergent, but that would prevent you using twindos on other programmes. I guess you could change it every time but seems like a lot of effort!

Finally I chose BOSCH 8 Series with iDos system. Seems more user-friendly :)

Hello - if you're using conditioner as normal then you don't need to select anything - the machine will fill up through the softener compartment for a few short bursts at the final rinse. Does the conditioner disappear after your wash, or is it still there?

@@sabistar44 Thank you very much for your reply to an old video! Yesterday I couldn't wait and experimented - did what you mention - just poured in the compartment without selecting anything special and the machine seems to have taken it, because it is not there now. So, it appears that the machine does just as you say: "a few short bursts of water at the final rinse through the softener compartment". I'm guessing all machines do that, but I haven't used conditioner ever before, so that was my 1-st try. Then again, what is that "cap dosing" option for? I mean, if I put a capsule there, won't it just use it like a regular conditioner, or will it have to accept it at a different stage?

@@ptankov happy to help! The “Cap” button is so you can select what cap you are using and consequently when it will be added to the wash. Stain booster or wool caps for instance will be added at the beginning of the cycle. So it’s best to tell the machine what cap you’ll be using!

Costis Tiphas hello! No I don't think that this is possible. Once a program starts you're pretty locked into it , there is even only a short opportunity to pause and add laundry. After this you would have to cancel the program. There is a separate rinse program and seperate spin in the Further programs menu. But you can't choose stages from different programs...

sabistar44 That sucks :-( And guys...That's one of the reasons why I HATE the modern washing machines of today! They say that cheaper washing machines may be better...I guess I have to agree with these experts. I LOVE old machines with moving/advancing timer dials and mechanical temperature control dials. nowadays the manufacturers can do whatever they want with the modern machines, they can add as many restrictions as possible to the software of their machines. The modern machines of today have a stupid brain. "you can no longer change the temperature!" "you can no longer add laundry!" "you can no longer select extra options!" whereas old ones never had such things.

I get what you're saying and certainly true of other modern machines. With this machine although you can't pick and choose different parts of other programmes, you can customise each programme which for me offers the best flexibility. The Cottons programme can be tailored to be very intensive for towels as shown here, but I also use it for more delicate items by adjusting the settings. I've yet to be disappointed or had to rewash things because they haven't come out clean. For me, this is the best solution - one programme becomes infinitely customisable and you're able to save this for next time..

sabistar44 also with old machines you have COMPLETE CONTROL over the temperature. You can even choose between the temperatures that are shown on the fascia, ex: 37C! My grandmother still has one of these old machines, it's about 8-9 years old now but it's hardly degraded since then. The programs are based on letters (A/B/C/D/F/G for cottons, H/J/K/L/M/N/P for delicates/woolens)

sabistar44 Oh and one other thing: The display will NEVER tell you the exact time left. It may get more or less depending on errors (unbalance/sudslocks/etc) or load sensing. It's a useless POS on modern machines

Hello! Are you sure the machine is recognising the container is in there? I had some problems during the cleaning cycle where the I had to push the container in and keep holding it or the machine would just stop. As for the service menu I'm sorry I have no idea, I've only seen it done by the engineers with a laptop and optical cable.

@@sabistar44 they are recognized… have also tried what you mentioned. Although now I think I’m going crazy… Just for fun… I Managed to enter service mode… Then when activating/running compartment 1 I had opens the back of the machine to see what happens… the pump nr 2 was working at that time ?!?!?! Then tried nr 2 and the pump 1 was working… so I figured that I had attached the cables in the wrong pump but this can not be true since the have strapped the cables so they don’t reach both… What am I doing wrong?! 😭 I’m going mental since to me this is not logic.

@@AzizIzgin that sounds weird! Hopefully this link will work for you, its the diagram from Miele of the Twindos system of this machine: www4.miele.de/msd/MSD#/device/27728/etd/1952915975601/materialNumber/9976604/

@@sabistar44 a Joshua helped me via email Turns out I put the hoses in the wrong pump 🙄🙈 Your link had access denied btw😉 Thanks anyway 🙏🏻

Hi Robert- happy to help. What did the message say, just "use twindos"? I've seen a message like that commonly when you select a stain or a high soiling level, it says "use Twindos or add stainer remover into compartment 1" or something like that.

Usman Dar I haven’t had experience of LG for some years, but this definitely deals with stains better than having to pre treat. Also, my LGs have never proved durable

@@sabistar44 thanks for the response. Can I ask how many of the programmes you can actually use the full 9kg load on? I'm considering the WCR860 but I dont want to be disappointed
