Naughty Miele!

I was shocked! From about 6.00 to about 7.40:

I mean, Hoover you could understand...

But Miele

I'm not surprised. We spent extra on a Miele dishwasher. It was far, far worse than the very budget Beko it replaced.

Badge engineering innit?
All made in the same factory in the Far East, bit like bikes.

Isn't YouTube fantastic for all the DIY repair views people have made and posted... saved me a small fortune over the years!

White goods are a bloody minefield. Had a tumble dryer ignite (no, not one of those!), then another began to overheat, a good AEG. Both s/h. Gave in and bought a new cheapie Bush. Every bit as efficient as those it replaced.
Miele washer lasted 20 years, one new drum spring and motor brushes. Quite reasonable.

My Miele vacuum cleaner is by far the best vacuum I've had (pishes all over the Dyson it replaced)... and it was free

+1 apart from the free part. How did you get it free?

Had a Miele støvsuger (stuffsucker) for about 15 years. Still as new.

Mind you, I'm one of those who empties the bag by hand and clears the filters every so often rather than wait until the gauge turns red to tell you the motor is struggling.

I've always been a big fan, and reckon their washing machines are the best by a country mile, which is partly why I was so surprised to see them behaving so shoddily. How can they deny they knew about the problem when their own instructions tell you to remove it with a hacksaw?

a friend bought a new one and gave me his old one.

That's German engineering for you !

Very impressed by my first 6 months use of a Haier Hatrium washing machine. Very very quiet - the water slopping around inside is noisier than the direct drive motor.
Of course, that tells me nothing about the long term reliability, but it oozes far better quality than most of the more familiar brands.
