Miele washing machines under discussion

Time for some washing machine discussion from the Woman&Home forums where user Glitterqueen has been asking for recommendations from the rest of the community.

There are plenty of responses across the board, and - of course - Miele has some strong support with, among others, louisejn stating “Miele - nice and quiet, economical and 5 yr guarantee!”

Poorly Scammo needs a new washing machine

Money Saving Expert (MSE) contributor Poorly Scammo has had a bit of an issue with their washing machine,

“It’s knackered with smoke coming out of it. Guess I’ll need a new one.”

Thankfully though a ‘knackered’ washing machine is no match for the MSE community. The request for recommendations has seen three pages worth of responses; admittedly not all have been helpful, though the majority of posts falling into this category have at least provided a smile. However, the more informative replies have had many brands suggested, but for Munkiemunkie81 and Gunsandbanjos the new machine has to be a Miele,

“I have a Miele and I love it”

Which? Miele washing machines recommendations are worthwhile?

Melb is questioning other members of the Money Saving Expert forum about the expert advice from Which?, especially when it comes to Miele washing machines – and soon generates plenty of interesting responses. 

Casey972 “has been happy with all his [Which?] purchases, of which the most recent was the Miele washing machine Prestige Plus 6”, whilst CKdesigner “obviously would always only recommend Miele washing machines”, especially when purchased from independent specialists. Bosseyed agrees; “in your case I believe Miele are a decent make, so I’d say you can’t go far wrong with one of those.”

It is left to Mwilletts however to round off the discussion, with absolutely no doubt in his mind: “Miele are by far the best manufacturer of Washing Machines for the domestic market. Bar none.”

Is it worth paying the extra for your washing machine?

A question often uttered by anxious users looking to buy new washing machine is ‘it worth paying the extra for quality laundry appliances?’ It has been bought up on Scoobynet.com this week, with the answer a fairly resounding (if not unequivocal) yes.

CoffinDodger suggests “Miele if you can afford one, Bosch if you can’t”, with michaelro adding that he “thought the order of quality for white goods was Miele, Siemens then Bosch.” AudiMan warns against buying a cheap machine packed full of options, warning “Moral of the story, don’t judge a book by its cover. And as said above buy a Miele or Bosch, and don’t worry if [it] doesn’t match the other appliances!”
