Powerful Cleaning That Works Smarter
Excellent wash results with PowerWash
PowerWash is designed to deliver thorough cleaning while using water and energy efficiently. By distributing water and detergent more effectively throughout the drum, it helps achieve impressive washing performance even on shorter cycles.
For busy households, this means cleaner clothes with less waiting around and lower running costs over time.
Benefits include:
- Thorough cleaning for everyday laundry
- Reduced water consumption compared to conventional washing
- Efficient use of detergent
- Faster wash performance without compromising results
SteamCare Helps Reduce Ironing
Less creasing, less effort
SteamCare introduces steam towards the end of selected programmes to help relax fibres and reduce creases.
For many everyday garments, this means less time spent ironing and clothes that look fresher straight from the drum. It’s particularly useful for workwear, school uniforms and shirts that often require extra attention.
Steam can also help refresh lightly worn clothing, making it a convenient option when garments don’t need a full intensive wash.
Large 9kg Capacity for Everyday Family Life
The spacious 9kg drum comfortably handles larger laundry loads, helping reduce the number of washes needed each week.
It’s particularly useful for:
- Family clothing
- Bedding and duvet covers
- Towels
- Larger weekly laundry loads
- Bulky seasonal items
Washing more in one go can save both time and energy compared with running multiple smaller loads.
Fast Washing When You’re Short on Time
QuickPowerWash
When time is limited, QuickPowerWash provides a fast yet effective cleaning programme for everyday laundry.
Whether you need school uniforms ready for the next morning or clean work clothes before heading out, the programme is designed to provide excellent results without an unnecessarily long wait.
Gentle Fabric Care You Can Trust
Honeycomb Drum
Miele’s Honeycomb Drum is carefully designed to protect fabrics during every wash.
Its unique surface creates a thin film of water between the drum and garments, allowing clothes to glide more gently during the wash cycle. This helps reduce wear on fabrics while still providing effective cleaning.
Delicate items, everyday clothing and favourite garments all benefit from this thoughtful approach to fabric care.
Tailored Care for Specialist Fabrics
CapDosing Convenience
Some garments require more specialised treatment than standard detergent alone can provide.
CapDosing allows compatible detergent capsules to automatically dispense the correct amount of specialist treatment for fabrics such as:
- Wool
- Silk
- Outdoor clothing
- Sportswear
This helps deliver optimal care without needing to measure additional products yourself.
Designed for Everyday Convenience
Using the WED385WCS is straightforward thanks to clearly organised controls and well-designed programmes.
Practical everyday benefits include:
- Easy programme selection
- Large loading door for simple loading and unloading
- Flexible wash options for different fabric types
- Clear display showing programme progress
- Reliable operation for everyday family use

PowerWash technology helps optimise water and energy consumption while maintaining excellent wash quality, making the WED385WCS a sensible choice for customers looking to reduce household running costs without sacrificing performance.
Using larger loads where appropriate can further improve efficiency over the lifetime of the appliance.
Quiet, Reliable Operation
