Miele looks and acts high end. And that includes the repair costs because they frequently break.
No thanks. I’ll take something that is less so but will work for years without complaint.
- tlb 1y agoYes, but the quietness outweighs all other considerations.
- sriram_malhar 1y agoAnecdata. I've had Miele washer, dryer and cooktop. No parts changed, no maintenance done on them since 1992. Works absolutely fine.
- whatevaa 1y ago1992 and todays Miele might be the same. You know, 3 decades have passed.
- elzbardico 1y agoenshittification is universal
- phatfish 1y agoMiele oven, hob (cook top?) and extractor fan all still work fine since they were installed around 2004 in my flat. The flat was even rented before i bought it.
- dagw 1y agoYou cannot necessarily compare a 1990s Miele product and 2020s Miele product. I've hardly ever heard of people having problems with their old Miele stuff, know several people who have had problems with their new Miele stuff. Further anecdotally (from a guy who works at an appliance store) there is a difference in quality between Miele stuff made in their German factories and stuff made in their newer Eastern European factories (often their 'budget' line).
- snowwrestler 1y agoSo what would you buy instead?
- prawn 1y agoWhen we built a house 15 years ago, we declined all the "premium brand" kitchen items in the builder's spec, went to Choice (consumer advocacy and testing in Australia) and picked from the best-rated dishwasher, oven, stove top, rangehood, etc. All worked well and we were happy with all of them. On another occasion, the recommendation was Miele (vacuum) but not for any of those kitchen items in our case.
