I admit I was very carefully choosing the washing machine and the dryer was kind of an afterthought. But still I bought their platinum tier dryer and expected it will be at least as good as my old Electrolux, given the Miele fabric care reputation.

Turns out none of the Miele machines have a functioning wool programme! Even the top tier ones have the same fluff (literally) up programme which lasts 5 minutes and then you have to immediately dry the wools flat, like my grandma had to do. W the actual F?!

Deeply disappointed, and considering getting a different brand dryer, but then the stacked machines won’t have the matching look which is a bummer.

How can Miele not have a working wool drying program, like how is it possible??!

So the numbers on the setup display on the machine are:

1. Whites
2. Colors

The ultra phase detergents are numbered the other way around, as far as I understand. That is:

1. Colors - ultra phase 1 is the main enzyme detergent for everything.
2. Whites - the ultra phase 2 is the oxiclean agent added for whites.

Please enlighten me if I’m wrong, because it affects my dosage logic.

So far I have a problem that if I set twindos to whites, I have some excessive foam. I’ve dialed it down a lot, but there still is a bit too much.
But, if I set twindos to colors, there is no foam at all, to the point that I’m not sure there is soap added at all.

My current dosage is phase 1 at 15ml, phase 2 at 8 ml. My water is softened d5-d7 hardness, but it actually behaves like even softer water. I use but a tablespoon for any mainstream liquid detergent, otherwise there’s foam coming out of the dispenser tray.

So what would the community suggest, to add more sips to the colors twindos setting, should I increase phase 1 or 2? And how can I avoid increasing foaminess for the whites while doing so?

Excited about the mashing by the way, I have wwi880 was
