Performance in perfection: The new Miele Benchmark machines

Blog Article
Each and every day, a typical hotel generates huge mountains of laundry – a task that should be mastered with flying colours. Many guests equate comfort and wellbeing not only with beautiful hotel rooms and wellness offerings but also with soft and cuddly towelling, crease free table linen and fragrant bedsheets. Many hoteliers also place great store by top-class economic feasibility and flexibility. In order to meet these exacting demands, high-performing jacks-of-all-trades are needed – like the new commercial Benchmark washing machines and dryers from Miele. These well-trained team members are able to master the balancing act between performance, efficiency and cleaning and drying quality with ease and also offer large load capacities and innovative connectivity. 'One of the greatest challenges in developing the new Benchmark machines was the creation of maximum flexibility – even when coping with highly specific customer requirements – in combination with a simple and intuitive user interface', according to Miele product managers Jörg Sielmann (washing machines) and Zawaar Ahmed (dryers). The new generation of Miele Benchmark machines sets entirely new standards in the field of laundry care.

Individual top performance

With load capacities of 12 to 20 kg, Miele Benchmark washing machines offer ample space for regular to large laundry loads. Benchmark dryers can even be loaded with up to 44 kg of laundry. In addition to this, all programmes can be customised to cater for individual wishes. Furthermore, intelligent automatic load control on washing machines ensures that only as much water and electricity is used as is needed to guarantee optimum results. 'At the same time, automatic load control and a weighing plinth ensure efficient reprocessing – even of less-than-full loads', say Jörg Sielmann and Zawaar Ahmed. This is particularly practical when, on occasion, reduced loads require washing. Thanks to the patented honeycomb drum, laundry is wetted faster, more uniformly and more efficiently. This results in a thorough and above all more gentle wash which ensures that particularly demanding and sensitive garments keep their shape over time. In the current climate, thermal and chemo-thermal disinfection programmes, as available ex works on all machines, are indispensable. 

Thanks to low consumption in combination with large load sizes, Miele Benchmark machines are a perfect balance between performance and efficiency.

The ultimate in user convenience

Programmes selected and off you go! A concise full touch display simplifies operation. Each stage of programme selection is just a tap away. And when it comes to digitalisation, the new Benchmark machines raise the bar as they are all connectivity-enabled via WiFi and LAN ex works. The integration into local networks is therefore as simple as connection to the new digital platform Miele MOVE: the smart solution for efficient machine, data and process management. This is a benefit which is extremely well received by clients. Having the programme status of machines visible at a glance from anywhere saves a lot of legwork. In the hustle and bustle of hotel life, this relieves staff of a lot of work and offers maximum flexibility.
