Brief encounters - Miele Cat & Dog vacuum cleaner review
As a Cat & Dog owner for four years, Ruth01.02 has had plenty of use from her vacuum and knows her stuff. As with many other happy Miele owners, she’s decided to share her thoughts on ownership with the wider world through a brief review over on Ciao!.
She states from the off that it’s “consistently outperformed all other vacuum cleaners I’ve ever had” - which is no surprise - it’s a relationship however, that very nearly never happened. Told by the sales advisor that the Cat & Dog was “only suitable for pets with short hair”, she was concerned about how the vacuum would cope with longer, finer human hair. She needn’t have worried though as the Cat & Dog has been “wonderful” and better than her friends back-breaking solution of using “sellotape to pick them off the floor”.
She admits the four years have taken their toll though, having had to buy a replacement vacuum head, but she insists that “on balance I’d prefer to get a new vacuum head every 4 years than to waste hours struggling to vacuum up long hair” and awards the Cat & Dog a five-star recommendation.
Hop over to Ciao! and read her review in full.
Brief encounters - Miele T294C tumble dryer review
It’s not often we get a tumble dryer review on Forever Better. Perhaps it’s because it’s the unsung hero in the laundry room with the washer grabbing all the glory and more than its fair share of write-ups.
So with this review of the Miele T294C over at the Review Centre, it’s time for the humble tumble dryer to get five minutes in the limelight and what a better way to start than with a swathe of top marks from the Guest reviewer who’s awarded the T294C 10/10 for ease of use, durability, service and value.
‘Efficient’, ‘economical’, ‘quiet’ and ‘fast’ is how this owner describes using the dryer whose large family means it gets continuous usage and after “having cheaper brands that packed up every couple of months” the T294C is a “sheer delight”. Unable to fault with the dryer they point out the “the next model up gives time remaining but do you really sit and watch it decrease?…[the] buzzer is fine so you can get on with the next load!”
So the T294C gets this reviewer’s whole-hearted ‘thumbs-up’. Jump across to read their review in full and if you find it useful, why not rate it.
“Everything built to a price”
I think it’s true to say farmers tend to know a thing or two about reliability and durability. After all in their line of work you need stuff you can depend on and over at the Farming Forum member Don Mackay has turned the discussion to the subject of washing machine reliability.
When reparing an old machine some time ago, he was told by a local whitegoods dealer that apart from Miele, many washers are build down to a price and that is reflected in the cost and frequency of servicing to which Fendtdriver recounts a now familiar tale of reparing and replacing other brands of washing machine.
Andybk points out “Miele are a different class designed for 10 years everyday use (10 year guarantee with many), and will probably last 20 or more, everything is servicable and main drum carrier is cast iron”, a sentiment that is supported by Longwool, whose previous washer “didn’t last long” and was ultimately replaced with Miele washing machine and dishwasher “that has now done over 10 years of service…to buy anything else is false economy in my opinion”.
If you’ve got any thoughts on washing machine reliability and agree with the Snail’s original statement that everything’s built to a price, pop over to the forum and have your say.
From spinning speeds to durability – washing machine advice!
There’s a lot to think about when choosing a washing machine, a point proven on The DVD Forums recently – when discussion about the speed of the spin turned into insight into exactly which brand of washing machine is most durable.
Splobber begins the debate, suggesting that “If you want longevity then look at a Miele, or a Siemens which is a bit lower down the scale, which may give you twice the lifespan. But expect to pay at least twice as much for it” – before a heated discussion about the relative merits of Hotpoint dominates the forum.
Jackal792 steps in to suggest “One of the things you also need to appreciate, a washer is designed to last about 5 years in most cases, if you want something to last longer go for a Miele, Siemens”. ROne clearly concurs, suggesting “Mine’s a Bosch. Next will be a Miele.”
Do you agree? Has your Miele kept spinning for a potentially record-breaking length of time? Comment here, or pop over to the DVD forum.
Brief encounters - Miele Cat & Dog 326i vacuum cleaner review part 2
While still a relative new-comer to Miele ownership, it’s obvious that their new Cat & Dog has created a sufficiently good impression for them to sings its praises straight away as this latest review on Review Centre demonstrates.
Awarding the Cat & Dog 10/10 for durability, ease of use, style and service and describing it as “very powerful, brilliant for dogs hair”, this guest review compares the Cat & Dog to their previous Henry machine and the distinct lack of ‘doggy smell’ now they’ve switched vacuums.
While the jury’s still out on whether it’s value for money or not they conclude: “I just hope it will last a long time as they are not cheap, but dont mind paying that sort of money if they do the job and last a few years.”
Hop over to the Review Centre to read their write-up in full.
