- twoWhlsGud 3y agoI'm still using the Miele vac that I bought new in 1989 (from the Whole Earth store in Oakland or Berkeley - that was a weird spin off). I brought it in for its first cleaning this year to the local vac repair store (I got a free cleaning in exchange for signing up for their discount vac bag plan a few years ago and finally found the time) and the young folks were puzzled by the made in West Germany tag on the bottom :) At this point the only thing that doesn't work is the speed selector indicator as the rubber band that connects the indicator to the selector switch failed and parts are no longer available. Compatible bags and filters, however, are still produced. Definitely not much in the way of planned obsolescence in this one ...
- D13Fd 3y agoOur Miele dishwasher has been spectacular over the last 3-4 years - one of my favorite appliance purchases ever. I was less impressed with their standing vacuum, honestly. It held up OK but frequently jammed and had little issues. We eventually replaced it with a Dyson cordless that seems much much better.
- op00to 3y agoI have a Miele canister vacuum. It’s great. I have a Miele HX1 cordless vacuum. It was outrageously expensive and never worked. Completely awful. Couldn’t suck up a cheerio off the floor. A cheap crappy Chinese Dyson clone worked many, many times better. Moral of the story, brands are BS.
