One person in our office who tried to dry a sweater in the machine had to run the cycle twice before she had a completely dry piece of clothing. It usually took another 20 minutes to dry the remaining items. Typically, one item would come out completely dry, but other items would have spots of moisture on them. We used the Miele TWI180 to dry a variety of loads over a month, and the results were definitely hit and miss. Insert the flacon on the machine close to the lint screen, each one should last for up to 50 cycles. Choose from three scents: Aqua, Cocoon, and Nature. The machine even takes care of the fabric softener via its FragranceDos feature, which automatically scents and fluffs your laundry. Simply select the program you want to run, and then use the touch up/down arrows on the display to make any selection final. Selective dryingĪs noted, the Miele dryer is easy to operate. If you want to use the Soft Steam feature, but don’t have any collected water, the manufacturer recommends filling the container with condensed water (ironing water). That said, the results are far better than simply pulling a dress shirt out of a completed drying cycle. In our tests, we found that you’ll still need to iron dress shirts, so it doesn’t work perfectly. Simply leave the water in the container and set the items to Soft Steam to produce clothes with less wrinkles. The petite Miele dryer doesn’t dry a lot of items at once (think maybe three towels), but it does steam your clothes. Don’t worry, it’s not heavy or unwieldly. When you’re done with a load, you can remove the container and empty it in the sink. It’s a nifty, innovative feature that we’ve never seen on a dryer before.

That’s right, you can literally see how much water is extracted from your wet clothes. Instead, this is where you find the clear condensed water container. On the front, top left corner of the machine there’s a handle that resembles something you would use to add detergent. It siphons moisture from clothing into a compartment and then uses it for steaming clothes. The real showstopper is how the dryer collects water from the clothes. Stylish, compact, and innovative, Miele presents an interesting solution for drying clothes.
