25 years ago, my ultimate washing machine test began: AEG versus the rest of the world. My old AEG put up a valiant fight, but after a quarter of a century, it had to retire. Time for a new challenger: the Miele WEC 388 WCS.
First impression? Wow. Quiet, smart, and almost too polite for words. It measures the water's grime, cares for my clothes like royalty, and pre-ironing feels like a mini spa for my shirts. I can hardly wait to see what it does as it ages—hopefully, it won't drink coffee and will continue to run faithfully like its predecessor!
The competition is back on. For now: very satisfied. And the real results? We'll see in 25 years. Exciting!

We have chosen Miele again, mainly because of the durability and the noise: the machine is very quiet. Partly to be operated with a rotary knob and partly digitally. Very happy with the purchase.

Because our previous washing machine broke down at an inopportune moment, we opted for a very reliable Miele machine. Delivery was very fast, and Coolblue provided excellent support with our previous washing machine. We're very satisfied!

PowerWash & SteamSpinning speed
1600RPMOur digital expert will help you, but it can sometimes make mistakes, like humans do.
According to our washing machine expert
Fewer wrinkles: the SteamCare steam function reduces wrinkles in your laundry and freshens up clothes without a wash cycle.
Wash quickly and thoroughly: you can wash faster and more thoroughly because PowerWash spreads the detergent evenly over your clothes.
A-20% energy label: you save an average of € 270 on energy costs over 10 years compared to the E energy label.
No automatic detergent dosing: the washing machine doesn't have TwinDos, which automatically dispenses detergent and washes your clothes extra thoroughly.
Not suitable for large loads: you can't wash large loads of bedding or clothes in 1 go with the 8kg load capacity.
