Is Miele WDB020 Eco a good washer to consider?

Front-load washers tend to be more popular than top-load washing machines. There are several reasons why: they are usually gentler on the laundry, because they don’t have an agitator, they are larger in capacity, quieter and more energy efficient. Miele is a very reputable brand when it comes to home appliances and it has a lot of high-quality washers on the market.

Miele is a German brand and has a lot of history backing it up. The company has been around for more than 120 years and it manufactures a wide range of products, from ovens, refrigerators and dishwashers to washing machines, vacuum cleaners and much more.
