Miele Washer Dryers: Are they worth the extra?
Netmums member Rosie F is in a bit of a quandary after working her way through two washing machines and a tumble dryer in the last five years. Instead of separate units she wants to get a washer dryer and after having spent a small fortune on other brands in the past wants to know if the extra initial investment in Miele will be worth it.
CathH immediately recommends Miele on the strength of their customer service and warranties after she had repairs made to her vacuum cleaner, while lizm recalls the advice given to her by an appliance engineer of choosing either a cheaper brand and replacing it every two-three years or spending the extra on Miele which will last twenty.
Rosie F concludes with the thought: “…I have to say a lot of my fears about washer dryers have been confirmed! Buying a cheap one is a bit of a gamble…”. If you’ve got any further suggestions for her why not leave a comment.

We bought a T234C three years ago, it worked fine for 10months then we noticed that the rcd in the house kept triping when the dryer was on. We contacted Miele who said it wasn’t their problem. We complained again out of the guarentee period (1 year ) and they wanted £88 to call out.Three years down the line it regularly trips the rcd the utility room is full of condensation, the floor is always wet and they now want £100.00 to call out. I personnally wish I had never heard of Miele they don’t seem any better than Candy products.

Hi just would like to Congratulate the MIELE engineers on designing yet another great product. We have received our new Miele T8822C condenser t/d. It is FAST, Very fast. A 7 kg load that usuallu took up to 120 min in our old t/d, now takes about 50 minutes. It truly is amazing, now fluff do to its great filter system and very quiet. Buy it, money well spend!!
