Here in europe we have Miele who make various white goods, and their washing machines are designed to actually last, rather than fail once the guarantee has run out.

I think they plan for 20+ years lifetime. Our one is getting on for 18 years old now, and has had no issues, or for that matter, any indication of problems.

Just about to throw out my 2nd Miele washing machine in 10 years.

Tempted to go for something cheap and throw it out every 2 years and save a lot of money.


Sounds like you are either very unlucky, or have a useage pattern (or install problem) that is triggering issues. I'd definitely try and work out why they failed before pulling the trigger on another machine, no matter what the make, unless of course the failures are obviously defects, in which case i'd be complaining to Miele and seeing what they can do about it.


He should - those Miele's aren't exactly cheap.


We actually ended up buying a Miele. It's extremely heavy.
