Miele washing machine with pre-ironing

Hello,

we want to purchase new appliances for the new house as well. For the washing machine, it should be a Miele.
Now I have seen that Miele offers a "pre-ironing" function on newer devices.
By heating the drum and using a specific spin speed, the laundry is supposed to become smoother.

The question is: what does that achieve? Do T-shirts, jeans, fabric trousers, or sweaters still need to be hung up? Do they still have to be ironed?
What about shirts for casual wear (I think they should still be ironed for church and the office)? Is it even better with so-called "non-iron" shirts?

So far, I have only found a few reviews on Amazon about this.
It is written that light shirts (not "stiff" ones) and T-shirts do not necessarily have to be ironed anymore, T-shirts can be put on directly, shirts only need to be hung on the line and are then smooth (but I suspect not perfect). One comment said that subsequent ironing is much easier.

However, reviews are more like bullet point observations, mostly shortly after purchase. Therefore, I am asking here in the hope that someone has (or had) this pre-ironing function and can report about it from their own experience.

Due to a special retailer, we have three special machines to choose from, of which only one has the ironing function, but it also costs almost €200 more.

Thank you very much.
Best regards

Ironing jeans and T-shirts? Hmm, hasn't happened here for 15 years.

I only iron my husband's shirts.

Everything else:
Washing, mostly at 60 degrees, spinning at 1400 rpm, and afterwards everything is properly hung on the line, shirts on hangers, wrinkles are smoothed out a bit / jeans are folded wet at the beginning and finally also hung up.

Afterwards, when taking down, they are folded and put into the closet.

I iron shirts, although my husband doesn't need a shirt often, he is gradually switching to non-iron ones.

But you also have that effect after the laundry comes out of the dryer: it is then so warm that you don't necessarily have to iron jeans and regular T-shirts if you take them out fresh and fold them properly right away.
Regards

My Miele (WKF 131 WPS, 1220 EUR from the specialist dealer including delivery and installation) has this pre-ironing function. It is preset in the Shirts program, reducing the max load by 50% to 1 kg to achieve a good result. Depending on the fabric quality, ironing is still necessary if you want an optimal result (it is called pre-ironing after all). However, if you hang the shirts on hangers right after the program and smooth them a bit, the result is already not bad. I also don't have much experience yet, as I have only had the machine for a few weeks. And I usually don't use the function at all because it lengthens the program duration. The normal programs without pre-ironing also do not produce overly wrinkled results. Of course, you still have to hang up the laundry even with the pre-ironing option; it is not a dryer function. The laundry is only treated with a bit of steam at the end. But according to the instructions, it must be suitable for tumble drying and crease-resistant. Optionally, pre-ironing can be combined with most wash programs, except for duvets, outdoor, and sportswear.

Overall, I am very satisfied with the machine so far. However, the pre-ironing function was not decisive for my purchase; most Miele machines have it anyway (except for the classic series), unless you mean the extended SteamCare function. There, you can apparently run it separately and not only after a washing program.

I would say that anyone who is satisfied with so-called non-iron shirts will also find themselves in such functions.

In both cases, of course, smooth, shaped shirts, just like ironed ones, are not to be expected.
