The family has grown, or a family member developed a passion for cooking with lots of fresh ingredients – there are many reasons to buy a larger refrigerator. But in most cases, the existing niche in the kitchen has a standard width of 60 centimetres. Miele is now launching a fridge-freezer combination with a convenient height of 194 centimetres to meet this requirement. The KFN 7844 C offers plenty of space for food and is so efficient that it is rated in energy efficiency class C.
Instruction manuals cost Miele millions in printing costs every year. In addition, their production requires around 1,500 tonnes of paper – roughly equivalent to the tree population of Madrid’s El Retiro city park. Miele is significantly reducing its paper consumption by gradually switching to digital instruction manuals. The company can invest the money saved in innovation projects. Particularly important information, such as safety instructions, continues to be included in printed form with the products.
Miele now offers two new, networkable upright washers for the safe and simple reprocessing of breathing masks. Their colour touch display is intuitive to use and the illuminated washing chamber of the 60-cm-wide appliances makes loading easier. The PLW 8683 Safety and PLW 8693 Safety models can be equipped with suitable baskets for breathing masks and air regulators – for maximum protection during cleaning and subsequent drying.
After each call-out, respiratory equipment must be hygienically reprocessed – in addition to masks and regulators, this also includes compressed air cylinders and carrier frames for compressed air bottles. Depending on the requirements and available space at the fire station, Miele offers suitable solutions for this application. Compressed air cylinders and their carrying racks can also be cleaned at the same time.
The commercial laundry machines from Miele are able to reprocess entire sets of the personal protective gear worn by fire-fighters: not only multi-ply jackets and trousers but also helmets, gloves and heavy-duty belts. All models are available under the title 'The New Benchmark Machines' and guarantee increased safety in readiness for the next emergency call – if required even with digital assistance. And there are also right-sized dryers to match the washing machines from this model series, with load capacities of between 9 kg and 20 kg.
Which laundry machines or washer-disinfectors are running? When can breathing masks, protective clothing and helmets be removed? The “Miele MOVE connect” portal answers questions like these live. The platform for PCs and mobile devices is a digital solution that simplifies a multitude of processes at the fire station.
Hazardous substances to which fire-fighters are exposed via their protective clothing can seriously affect health. These include smoke, diesel fumes and asbestos, which is provably carcinogenic, as well as toxic chemical residues. Help is now at hand in the form of barrier washing machines with two doors, allowing loading and uploading in separate rooms and preventing any redeposition of soil on textiles. Miele now offers three models in different sizes – particularly designed to rise to the challenges of fire brigades and rescue services.
For the protective equipment of fire-fighters, many manufacturers recommend drying cabinets – both for drying operational jackets and trousers which are suitable for drying, but especially for utensils made from materials which may suffer damage in a tumble dryer. This includes, for example, boots, gloves, belts, wetsuits and cut-proof trousers. Miele is therefore now offering drying cabinets in two sizes and, consequently, a complete portfolio for reprocessing personal equipment from one single source.
From mid-May, Miele Professional will be offering new, network-enabled cleaning and disinfection appliances for medical and podiatry practices under the name ExpertLine – tailored to the specific requirements of each application. The illuminated wash cabinet of the 60- and 90-cm-wide undercounter machines makes loading easier, and the colour touch display is intuitive to use. Innovative technology such as the pressure and spray arm monitoring ensures safe and efficient instrument reprocessing. Two systems are available for subsequent drying.
They are ideal for small households: Refrigerators that can be built in under the worktop. This spring, Miele launches a new generation of refrigerators and freezers - with models of improved energy efficiency, greater convenience and ergonomic details. The customer can choose among four fridges and two freezers.
Save energy and protect the environment – sustainable washing has never been easier. Miele now offers the top energy efficiency class A in all marketing classes – without compromising on cleaning performance, convenience, or durability. The new G 5000 Active and Active Plus dishwasher models will be available in stores from May 2025.
Can new solutions actually make housework easier? The Miele app does just that. The latest release includes applications that make household appliances smarter and solve many a problem in no time at all. This applies to a new generation of washing machines and free additional programmes, but also to appliances that are already in the household and occasionally need a little attention. In such cases, artificial intelligence can help to eliminate errors. Food storage with smart Gourmet Boxes is another useful new development.
Network-enabled, equipped with an illuminated wash cabinet and available in two series with different features: Miele Professional’s new undercounter machines being launched in mid-May 2025, in widths of 60 and 90 centimetres, reprocess laboratory load items with analytically clean results and come with equipment that is more user friendly than ever before. The machines also feature intuitive operation thanks to a new touch display. Two systems are available for the subsequent drying process.
As announced last year, Olaf Bartsch has stepped down from his role as Executive Director Finance & Administration of the Miele Group and handed this role over to Stefan Koss with effect from April. Having worked for Miele for 34 years, Bartsch is now retiring from the company.
From April 2025, Miele will be launching a comprehensive revamp of its laundry care range and further upgrading its programme in terms of convenience, efficiency and performance. At the same time, the Gütersloh-based household appliance manufacturer is significantly lowering its prices for popular equipment and features, some of which are up to 420 euros below the previous price structure. Sustainability highlight in the new programme: the EnergyHero model undercuts the threshold for the top energy efficiency class A by 40 percent, making it the most energy-efficient washing machine from Miele.
From May 2025, Miele is offering new, network-enabled thermal disinfectors to meet individual requirements in every dental practice. The illuminated wash cabinet in the 60 cm wide undercounter machines makes loading easier and the colour touch display is intuitive to use. Proven technology such as pressure and spray arm monitoring ensures safe and efficient instrument reprocessing. Two systems are available for the subsequent drying process.
With the EasyStore tray and container system, which will be available from June 2025, Miele is offering a fast, cost-effective and sustainable solution for reprocessing dental instruments methodically and storing them safely until they are next used. All of its components are coordinated with each other and optimise how Miele undercounter thermal disinfectors, large-chamber disinfectors from the SlimLine series and sterilisers are used together. Staff will also benefit from the new products.
The Miele MOVE MedDent+ portal supports dental practices in complying with regulatory requirements for instrument reprocessing – and includes a personal approval process. In addition, it can be used on mobile devices to check in real time which thermal disinfectors and sterilisers are in operation and when reprocessing will be complete.
For more than 60 years, Miele has been synonymous with reliability and innovation in the field of medical technology. The Gütersloh-based family-owned company is now taking its system solution for dental care centres and practices to the next level – with a comprehensive portfolio of process chemicals and an improved formula for the highly effective ProCare Dent 10 MA cleaning agent. The biggest advantage is that the product no longer needs to be labelled as a hazardous substance.
Miele’s new thermal disinfectors are ideal for practices where large volumes of instruments need to be reprocessed. With a width of just 65 centimetres, the models from the SlimLine series can be installed in rooms where space is limited. They can easily be integrated into a network or monitored remotely via Miele’s online portals. Furthermore, intelligent technology adjusts the pump performance to guarantee a fast cleaning phase and to save water in the rinse phase.
Regular inspections and maintenance procedures play a huge role in ensuring that thermal disinfectors, sterilisers and other commercial machines function reliably over the long term. With PROtect, Miele Professional offers comprehensive protection and optimum service for these machines. Packages for defined preventative services provide planning security in day-to-day work and range from simple inspections to all-round protection where all costs are covered.
Five years after being founded, the first start-up to emerge from Miele, Miele Operations & Payment Solutions GmbH, already has over 300,000 users and generates sales in the double-digit millions. Founded in 2019, the company equips laundry rooms in student residences and blocks of flats under the appWash brand. Its latest business segment is campsites. The business model is based on a digital platform: appWash installs appliances and software, users book free washing machines and dryers via the app and make cashless payments.
How easy is it to use? Is it sustainable? What’s new about it? These are some of the questions asked by the jury of the iF Design Award and convincingly answered by the 14 Miele products and product ranges that won the prestigious award. These include innovative vacuum cleaners, elegant washing machines, distinctive refrigerators, stylish cooker hoods and commercial appliances with exceptional features.
It all started with a little inn back in 1898. And the Grünauerhof in Wals near Salzburg in Austria is still a family-run business today – following numerous modernisation projects and the addition of new buildings, it is now a four-star hotel with 64 rooms and a large wellness area. Five rustic restaurants with space for 650 diners serve regional and international cuisine prepared using products from the hotel’s own farm. And the laundry facilities are on site too. For over 35 years, Miele laundry machines have been providing the hotel with beautifully laundered bed linen, towelling textiles, tablecloths and napkins.
Following hard on the heels of the coveted golden virus seal of approval for meeting above-average hygiene standards outside the healthcare sector, the Institute for Integrative Hygiene and Virology has commended Miele technology intended for commercial operations: Washing machines and commercial dishwashers from the most recent generations now also receive the seal in black as a testimony to even higher standards.
Miele’s Little Giants appliances are ideal for situations that involve washing large quantities of laundry on a daily basis but have little space available to do so. These compact washing machines and tumble dryers offer load capacities of six to eight kilograms and take up just half a square metre of space. Now the heat-pump dryers available in the range use propane, an eco-friendly natural gas refrigerant.
With ProCare Tex Miele offers process chemicals that are optimally suited for use in its commercial washing machines (all sizes). Five new products are available: For example, a booster and a powder disinfectant heavy-duty detergent. Due to their eco-friendly composition several detergents have been awarded the EU Ecolabel.
Wherever sparkling results and hygiene top the agenda, the commercial dishwashers from Miele's MasterLine series are the products of choice: The proven fresh water system takes in fresh water for each phase of the programme and uses high temperatures to remove soil and reliably deal with viruses and bacteria. In the course of everyday work, short cycles make for efficient processes. These models are ideal for hotels and restaurants.
Regular inspections and maintenance can prevent commercial machines of all kinds – from washing machines to dishwashers – unexpectedly grinding to a halt. PROtect from Miele Professional offers preventive servicing options within a scope the customer defines, ranging from inspection only to complete protection with all costs included – for reliable planning in the daily work.
How can cashmere be kept as soft as it was on the day of purchase, and how can these fine materials be washed and cared for at the highest level? These are questions that concern fashion connoisseurs worldwide. This is precisely where Miele and the fashion label extreme cashmere come in with a revolutionary and inspiring new approach. At Fashion Week, they are presenting the world's first Cashmere Spa, where visitors can discover the art of cashmere care through live demonstrations and interactive elements. A tribute to conscious care, to the quiet rituals of everyday life and to the timeless elegance of high-quality materials.
Miele’s new cleaning machine is a compact solution for demanding tasks in the field of industrial parts cleaning. The PLW 8636 IPC model, which is just 90 centimetres wide, can be used to clean metal, plastic and electronic parts such as solder frames and PCBs as well as optics, watches, medical instruments and implants. The technical highlights include the most powerful circulation pump in this machine class, a programmable logic controller (PLC), a particularly powerful drying unit, optimised spray arms and an easy-to-use touch colour display. The machine is initially available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and will be gradually introduced in other countries.
Miele Group consolidated its growth path in the business year 2024. In a demanding market environment and in the face of macroeconomic challenges, Miele achieved a turnover of 5.04 billion euros. This corresponds to an increase of 1.7 percent compared to the previous year. The number of employees rose to a total of 23,500 as a result of acquisitions, an increase of 3.4 percent. Around 11,300 people were employed in Germany, 4.2 percent fewer year-on-year. As part of the MPP (Miele Performance Program) transformation initiative launched in 2024, Miele has since achieved important milestones, and, thanks to the programme, has been able to rule out compulsory redundancies in Germany. Miele is planning to invest around 500 million euros in Germany by 2028.
Miele’s Little Giants appliances are ideal for situations that involve washing large quantities of laundry on a daily basis but have little space available to do so. These compact washing machines and tumble dryers offer load capacities of six to eight kilograms and take up just half a square metre of space. From March, the heat-pump dryers available in the range will use propane, an eco-friendly natural gas refrigerant.
Hygiene is a key priority at the De Medemens St. Bavo retirement home in Antwerp, Belgium. At the same time, staff are keen to involve the residents in the day-to-day routine at the home. At the heart of each residential group is the kitchen, where help is always welcome – when emptying the dishwasher, for example. The machine is very similar to the sort of appliance that many of the residents will know from home, but this one can do more and is suitable for cleaning reusable bottles. Miele Professional has developed a special lower basket for this purpose, which can be inserted in just a few steps.
With ProCare Tex Miele offers process chemicals that are optimally suited for use in its commercial washing machines (all sizes). Five new products are available: For example, a booster and a powder disinfectant heavy-duty detergent. Due to their eco-friendly composition several detergents have been awarded the EU Ecolabel.
Wherever hygiene tops the agenda, the commercial dishwashers from Miele's MasterLine series are the products of choice: The proven fresh water system takes in fresh water for each phase of the programme and uses high temperatures to remove soil and reliably deal with viruses and bacteria. In the course of everyday work, short cycles make for efficient processes. These machines are ideal for use in care and nursing homes as well as in ward kitchens in hospitals.
As a system provider to care and nursing homes, Miele Professional is now offering software which simplifies the processes involved in facility, hygiene and building management. Miele MOVE Clean+ is tailored to the specific needs of the world of age care, is completely independent of Miele machines and connects management, facility managers, on-site technicians, hygienists and quality management. This digitalises previously manual activities – ensuring considerably greater efficiency in the housekeeping process. The modular software is available both as a web-based application and an app and can be put to productive use with only little effort.
Regular inspections and maintenance can prevent commercial machines of all kinds – from washing machines to dishwashers – unexpectedly grinding to a halt. PROtect from Miele Professional offers preventive servicing options within a scope the customer defines, ranging from inspection only to complete protection with all costs included – for reliable planning in the daily work.
The Boost CX1 Allergy bagless cylinder vacuum cleaner from Miele is the test winner in the current online vacuum cleaner test conducted by German consumer watchdog Stiftung Warentest (StiWa) and has received the overall score of GOOD (2.1). With this victory, a Miele vacuum cleaner has once again taken the top step on the podium. Two bagless cylinder vacuum cleaners were tested this time round. The results were added to the existing test results from 09/2024 as part of StiWa’s continuous testing and compared against these. The details can be consulted on the Stiftung Warentest website at www.test.de under the “Staubsauger im Test” section (in German).
