Yermum needs a new washing machine

On the Overclockers forum Yermum has asked the community what brand of washing machine to go for. Her current model has died and as someone who ‘hammered it’ twice a day during the week and then four or five times a day over the weekend, the replacement has got to be a ‘workhorse’.

Plenty of people have leapt in to offer their advice and a number have recommended Miele. Mjt admits that Yermum may have to spend a little more than she wants to, but it is worth it for a Miele, especially considering that Mjt’s current machine has been going for 20 years. Philjohn agrees,

“Spend the extra and get a Miele, they are consistently ranked as the very best in most consumer shootouts. I don’t know a single person who has one and is disappointed with it.”

The thread is full of washing machine related debate, which you can read through this link.

Netmum Tara recommends Miele

On the Netmums forum Joanne has had bad experiences with a washer/dryer and is looking for advice on buying a stand alone tumble dryer and Miele has been suggested.

Dorothy has happily offered some general advice on features to look for when buying a dryer, where as Tara has passed on her specific first hand knowledge of Miele,

“I have 5 children and even though I hang my washing out always when its good weather I also have to use my tumble dryer an awful lot for towels, bed linen and other “dryable” clothes and I have a Miele condenser dryer and it as absolutely my best friend (along with my Miele novatronic washing machine!). And although they are expensive new (few 2nd hand ones on eBay lately), I have had mine for a few years and its still fantastic.”

Miele vs. any other…

A thread on Mumsnet has seen stoppingat3 put the call out for advice on what vacuum she should be purchasing in the wake of her current choice sucking its last suck.

Recommendations for Miele come in from pretty much across the board, notably for the Cat and Dog. BudaBones bought one after having it suggested as good option, “Have had it a month and love it”, and the same goes for CMOTdibbler, “The Miele is fab”.

Miele vacuum cleaner discussion on the eBay forums

eBay might be all about buying and selling, but the forums are particularly active too – and this recent conversation about ‘buying a new vacuum’ has thrown up some interesting discussion around Miele cleaners.

Ems-mama only has positive things to report about her Miele, until her daughter left home anyway “I have a Miele, can’t fault it and have had it for last five years. Had one for many years before and only “lost” it when my daughter left home” and mrs*slocombes*pussy reports on a number of Which recommendations. .

All of which ends up with doughnut11a reporting that “I am moving towards a Miele, thanks all”. To have your say, jump over to the forum here.
