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.

OutdoorsMagic on washing machines

OutdoorsMagic, a forum designed to bring outdoor enthusiasts together, has been discussing washing machines. It all began when Metric Kate asked about replacing her old machine.

There are a couple of pages worth of responses and amongst them is support for a variety of brands including Miele. The first contributor to bring them up is Mr Sworld, an owner of a Miele fridge/freezer, dishwasher and vacuum,

“Splash the cash and buy a Miele, still a family owned company, German engineering and they last forever! They will give you 20 year guarantees!”

His recommendation is echoed by user david creighton, and Colm ab Ifan cites the Which? surveys as his reason for choosing Miele. Where as rob s puts in rather plain English,

“Go Miele they are the mutt’s nuts, my parents is over 10 years old, in a hard water area and going strong. At Uni one of my house mates brought along a 20 year old one and it lasted the 2 years of abuse we gave it, we own one and it’s great.”

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.”
