Benchmark - It Pays Off.

Impressive load capacity

With their impressive load capacity, the PWM 927 and PWM 935 washing machines increase laundry throughput, optimise productivity and also ensure remarkable energy and cost savings. Our commercial Benchmark tumble dryers are also available with load capacities of up to 44 kg.

Dry environment, fast drying: industrial washing machines like the PWM 927 for clear results

More spin. Less splash.

Shorter drying time

With a market-leading value of 542G for 27 kg machines, the PWM 927 commercial washing machine has an extremely high spin speed and significantly reduces the residual moisture content of the laundry. However, all other models in the Benchmark Performance Plus series also achieve a g-factor of at least 500 in all weight classes up to 35 kg thanks to BoostSpin 500G+. This results in significantly reduced residual moisture, significantly shorter drying times, increased laundry throughput and – associated with this – measurable savings on energy and operating costs.

Gentle laundry care

The patented Miele honeycomb drum with its unique honeycomb structure forms a thin layer of water during washing and an air cushion during drying. The laundry glides gently over this, protecting delicate items and significantly extending their service life. At the same time, the durable machines make an impressive statement with their robust design and long service life, reducing investment and replacement costs.

Effortless operation.

User-friendly operation

The Benchmark series was developed with maximum everyday convenience in mind. With the innovative OneFingerTouch technology, the machine’s door opens and closes automatically at the touch of just one finger – even with a full load – to provide greater comfort and safety. The ergonomic loading and unloading principle reduces physical strain and enables users to operate the machine quickly and conveniently, making it ideal for work environments with high volumes of laundry where every action counts.

Benchmark – commercial solutions for professional laundry care

Whether in the care sector, hotel business or industry – the Benchmark machines from Miele Professional impress with their performance, durability tested to 30,000 operating hours and cost efficiency. With impressive load capacity, shorter drying times, intuitive operation and patented honeycomb drum technology, they offer everything you need for professional laundry care.

Customer story

“The decision to choose Miele and the Benchmark models in particular was the right one for us in every respect – in terms of economic operation as well as for the well-being of our residents. The machines not only offer the highest quality and durability, but also impress with powerful programmes, ergonomic operation and digital networking via Miele MOVE. This enables us to control our laundry processes efficiently, reduce energy consumption and time spent, and lower operating costs in the long term. At the same time, our employees benefit from the fact that the machines are much simpler to use and our entire facility benefits from hygienic, safe processes. Miele impressed us not only with its technology, but also with the expert planning and personalised advice it provided right from the start.”
