The run time of front-loading machines is longer than that for most top-loading, ver- tical tub machines. This is because front-loading machines balance the 5 basic washing factors (mechanical action, water, detergent, temperature and time) dif- fently than do vertical tub machines. Miele’s front-loading machines use an ad- vanced hydromatic washing action, precise and steady temperatures, less water and detergent than vertical tub machines but more time. The longer run time is part of the equation that produces Miele’s excellent wash results.
