Mumsnet on Miele appliances

On the good housekeeping section of Mumsnet, ErnestTheBavarian needs to start her kitchen from scratch appliance wise,

“Need brand new everything. If Miele is the best washing machine, what’s the best oven, hob, tumble-dryer, dishwasher - what features do I look out for, what do I avoid…”

Posted only yesterday, the thread has already generated 34 responses all eager to offer advice. MrsJohnDeere and whomovedmychocolate are both advocates for the Miele dishwasher, with the latter stating,

“I have a Miele dishwasher – It is truly a thing of beauty - three racks! Wonderful!”

But when it comes to ovens amidaiwish isn’t taken with Miele, but does suggest the plate warming drawer is “fantastic”. How do you feel about Miele ovens? Agree with MrsJohnDeere and whomovedmychocolate when it comes to Miele dishwashers? Visit the Mumsnet thread to add your thoughts or leave us a comment below.

In search of dishwasher advice?

Confused and in search of dishwasher advice is the state in which Coolusee finds themselves, and therefore has turned to the UK Whitegoods community for help.

The specifications, amongst other features they’re looking for, includes energy efficient, low water consumption and a programme for cleaning larger pots and pans. Moderator Penguin45 informs Coolusee that colleague Don is the person most likely to be able to help out.

And Don doesn’t disappoint, offering solid advice and answering a question on how different brands compare without bias. His assessment of Miele,

“Miele are well known for producing about the best quality appliances out there, service information is restricted to their own engineers and the price of parts is high.”

He also provides a useful link to how all the brands line up, which if you’re looking for a new appliance is certainly worth a look. You can find it all on the UK Whitegoods thread here.

Vizbox turns to UK Whitegoods

Vizbox has been unable to find a review of the stainless steel Miele G1252SC dishwasher by someone who actually owns one. In light of this he has jumped into the UK Whitegoods forum for advice. As you’d expect they know their stuff and Don, a UKW moderator, has been particularly helpful,

“Miele are considered to be the best, they are well designed and built by a premium German manufacturer who have been around for over a hundred years.

Purchases of the G1252SC from the 1st Jan to 31st Jan will come with a promotional 5 year warranty. :)”

This has left Vizbox happy, especially the news about the warranty. To read the thread in full click through.

Volkszone user needs a spare part…

Understandably you may think that the request for a spare part in the Volkszone forum would be required to repair an old Beetle - not so, in this case at least. North_Manchester needs a part for his Miele dishwasher,

Jumping straight into help are a number of fellow contributors, among whom is Nippyhippy offering Miele as a good port of call for help,

“Try Miele themselves, they’re fantastic for aftersales service.”

MSE contributors pick their Top Ten

At Money Saving Expert (MSE) Yorkie1980 has asked his fellow contributors what brands they feel make up the top 10 when it comes to appliances.

“I was hoping some kitchen experts could provide a list of the best (in your opinion of course) kitchen appliances in terms of quality, lifespan and guarantee.”

Both Converse and Clockworks return verdicts with Miele near the top, stating that the brand has a good reputation. Ormus also goes down the same line adding to the thread,

“At the top end the German names are very good.”

Majjie goes all out placing Miele at the top of the list, a list which hasn’t been kept to 10, something which is justified by the similarities between some brands. If you’d like to read the thoughts of the other contributions to the top 10 brands making appliances click through to MSE.
