Following a short period of communication with Washerhelp trying to decide between the Miele W3922wps and the W3824wps and a recommendation by Washerhelp of the W3740 (assuming that 1400 spin would suit us), I purchased the W3740 about 3 weeks ago. No other way of describing it but to say " First Class". It's built like a block of flats, much quieter and more stable that any machine we have previously had, excellent wash, and the 1400 spin is brilliant, lightweight items come out almost dry. It has enough features to suit our lifestyle and yet remain very simple to use. The 10 year warranty has just been confirmed with the receipt of our certificate, and this particular feature makes us feel even better. You were right the about 1400 spin, and it saved us about £100 over the 1600 spin models. Superb piece of engineering, we can thoroughly recommend Miele and the W3740 in particular. Thanks again for your much valued help. Regards Alan

Thanks again, i'm just off to order the W3740. I will keep you posted with a review in a week or two. Alan

Sorry to be a pain but one final question before i order the W3740. I am a little concerned about the level of noise, as it is only rated a 2 on a scale of 1-5. I realise that it's difficult ,if not impossible, to describe a noise level and i know that you said that the W3740 would be ok "for all but the very finicky" so how might it compare to a 12 year old Hotpoint for example? Regards Alan

Thanks again for your help, W3740 looks like the one we will go for. Regards Alan

We very much appreciate your very detailed reply, looks like we may well go for the W3740 you recommend, if i can get one at the right price. Is the 1400 spin ok on heavy cottons like towels etc? We only have experience of 1200 on our old Hotpoint. Thanks again for the help. What a brilliant website. Regards Alan

As a new member of Washerhelp my wife and I are looking for some guidance. Having had a variety of washing machines over the years, non of which were particularly reliable except for a very basic Indesit we bought about 40 years back which lasted about 16 years, 6 of which were washing for a new baby. We have finally decided on a Miele but can't decide on which one. The W3922 & W3824 both seem to fit the bill but I am tempted by the Professional motor and the load size/ dispensing on the W3922, however it does seem to have bells and whistles that we don't need. It seems that the W3824 might be a later addition to the range and looks simpler to use. The program that will get the most "welly" will be cotton 40 degrees, so I am told by the boss. Both machines are exactly the same price so which is the best way to go? I need help, "im only a man", doing the research. PLEASE HELP !!! Alan
