Miele W5780 No Time Remaining Display

[spiro theocropolis]

Hi

I've just purchased a new Miele W5780

It has great reviews - but I'm disappointed to find it doesn't have a "time remaining" display - despite the Which review saying it has - as well as a number of sellers.

Is there something I've missed?

If not - why has such an expensive machine not got such a simple feature?

and is there an upgrade available?

Cheers

It looks like a newer version of my W3740 which displays time remaining. I'd be surprised if it doesn't, although they are often annoyingly inaccurate. It should just display it during a wash.

it doesn't seem to do it - which seems like a major oversight in an £800 machine

I have a new W5740 which has a time left display, I'm confident yours should too, does the display show anything? The new Miele's have 'stand by' operation whilst in use to meet standards of energy consumption. Usually the start light flashes green whilst the display is blank, press any button and it should come back to life showing how much time is left. I'm fairly sure you can de activate this feature, refer to your instruction manual.

I found out from Miele that some of their models don't have this feature, which is a surprise. Even they seem to have to withhold features to persuade people to buy a more expensive model.
