Miele Professional Introduces New Line of Benchmark Machines for On-Premise Laundry Operations

Miele’s quality linen and garment reprocessing technology is now tailored for on-premise laundry in lodging, healthcare and large-scale facilities

 

Miele Professional, a global leader in state-of-the-art, commercial-grade appliances, is launching its Benchmark line of washers and dryers for on-premise laundry applications in the United States. Engineered for high throughput and trusted durability, the Benchmark on-premise laundry line provides hotels, hospitals and other facilities with reliable, onsite textile and linen reprocessing. Encompassing seven washers and seven dryers, the Benchmark on-premise line is available in a range of sizes to support various load capacities, spanning 25 – 75 lbs. for washers and 30 – 100 lbs. for dryers.

“Miele Professional has long been known as an exclusive brand for wet cleaning and niche applications and now we’re bringing our expertise to on-premise laundry," said Scott Lombardi, U.S. Country Director, Miele Professional. “Our Benchmark on-premise laundry machines are designed with advanced technology to provide faster turnover and a higher quality clean for bedding and textiles, creating a positive brand experience while improving the bottom line for large-scale facilities.”

Machine Capacity and Capabilities

Initially launched in Europe, Miele Professional has adapted its Benchmark on-premise laundry line to include configurations that meet the needs of the North American market. Benchmark on-premise washers are available in single phase configurations and Benchmark dryers are available in a gas dryer option, in addition to other offerings.

Benchmark machines are engineered to withstand the relentless demands of commercial laundry, passing endurance tests to ensure 30,000 hours of operation for washers and 20,000 hours of operation for dryers. 

The Benchmark line is also engineered for sustainable performance and maximum fabric longevity. Specially calibrated wash and dry programs optimize each cycle, conserving water and electricity and reducing resource consumption. Miele’s patented Honeycomb Drum prolongs the lifespan of textiles with a convex drum pattern for effective wetting and gentle fabric care in the washer, and a concave drum pattern that protects laundry as it dries. The Miele PerfectDry system also includes a residual moisture sensor to ensure garments dry evenly.

Other user-friendly features of the Benchmark on-premise laundry line include:

  • More than 90 customizable programs, including high-hygiene and disinfection cycles that ensure textiles are cleaned according to specifications and standards.
  • Capability to connect to external pumps for controlled dispensing of detergents.
  • M Touch Pro or M Touch Pro Plus touchscreen controls that provide a seamless user experience*.
  • Wi-Fi connectivity for efficient data transfer and integration of operations.
  • Fully digital display that supports more than 30 languages.
