Miele washing machine recommended on MSE

Joannecawthra started a thread asking for advice after her machine broke down. There are plenty of recommendations being discussed, but it is Pegginout who is the real Miele fan,

“I have had 4 washers in 10 years, so decided to invest in a Miele & I can honestly say it is FANTASTIC!

It takes 2 men to move it, it is so solid.”

Solid. A fair assessment of Miele’s washing machines? Let us know your thoughts by leaving a comment below.

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.”

New washing machine for the new year?

At the Digitalworldz forums Shindig is after exactly that, a new washing machine for the new year and has his eye firmly on the January sales. He started the thread ‘Recommend a decent washing machine‘,

“Well our loyal washing machine has finally had it after a good number of years. Was hoping there would be a few people here that have bought a washing machine in recent times, that could recommend a few good models to go for.”

Shindig wasn’t wrong; he’s been offered plenty of advice and among the brands suggested Miele has appeared more than once or twice. Langland puts Miele at the top of his choices and Maryhinge suggests succinctly ‘Miele without a doubt’. It is arguably Frenchman though who gives the most hearty testimonial,

“I wouldn’t buy anything else other than a Miele, yes they are a few quid more but will last the test of time, and come top in the Which? tests.”

Miele washing machines recommended at Google groups

In the Google group uk.d-i-y Graham has asked for washing machine recommendations and there has already been 17 replies offering advice. Among these are numerous mentions of Miele, such as Tim W’s straight-forward suggestion,

“Miele if you want to last by itself and do its job exceedingly well (I have a washing machine).”

Another early contributor is dom@gglz.com who states,

“Miele. Mine came with a free, manufacturer’s 10 year warranty - i.e you phone the Miele service centre, and the Miele bloke in the Miele van comes round your gaff and fixes it - and no bill.”

The entire thread of conversation can be found here. It is particularly useful if you’re in the market for a new machine, and there is also a funny story about a cat…

Vacuum discussion at AlanTitchmarsh.com

On the AlanTitchmarsh.com forums the florally named RedRose has asked for a vacuum recommendation on behalf of her sister. By her own admission she is yet to own a good one, hence the cry for help.

Thankfully SimonFoy comes to her aid,

“Miele Cat and Dog, will last forever, best vacuum cleaner I have had.”
