Where to buy the Miele WTR860WPM washer-dryer
🏆 Review & price summary
This Miele WTR860WPM washer-dryer is a freestanding washer-dryer with an 8kg washing capacity, 5kg drying capacity and 1600rpm spin speed. Its TwinDos automatic detergent dosing, M Touch controls, SteamCare, Miele@home connectivity and AddLoad function give it a strong convenience focus. QuickPowerWash and the one-hour Single Wash & Dry programme are useful for time-sensitive laundry, while the stated 62dB(A) noise rating and Quiet Mark certification should appeal to households seeking quieter operation.
✓ Key strengths

- ✓ The 8kg wash capacity and 5kg dry capacity suit regular household laundry while saving space compared with separate appliances
- ✓ Faster options for smaller or urgent loads
- ✓ M Touch controls, AddLoad, Delay Start and Miele@home add flexibility to everyday use
Worth considering

Washing and drying capacity
The appliance provides an 8kg washing capacity and a 5kg drying capacity, making it suitable for everyday family laundry while retaining a relatively compact all-in-one format. The difference between the two capacities is important: a full wash load may not be ready to transfer straight into the drying cycle without removing some items.
A maximum 1600rpm spin speed can help reduce the amount of water retained by clothes before drying. The available product information also describes QuickPowerWash and a one-hour Single Wash & Dry programme for faster laundry tasks.
Convenience and controls
TwinDos automatic detergent dosing is the key convenience feature. It is intended to dispense detergent automatically at the appropriate point in the cycle, reducing one routine decision when starting a wash. CapDosing is also listed for specialist detergent or fabric-softener capsules.
The M Touch interface is designed around tapping and swiping, while AddLoad allows items to be added during the wash cycle and Delay Start helps with scheduling. Miele@home connectivity adds smart-home functionality, although the available information does not specify the full range of remote-control features.
Noise, efficiency and everyday ownership
The stated 62dB(A) noise rating and Quiet Mark certification suggest that this appliance is designed with quieter everyday operation in mind. That could be particularly helpful when the machine is positioned near living areas.
The stated D energy rating is a limitation for shoppers focused on minimising energy use. Overall, the feature set is strongest for buyers prioritising dosing convenience, programme flexibility and an integrated wash-and-dry solution over the very lowest running-energy rating.
