A first rate product. This is my 4th washing machine in 12 years!! My husband wanted to purchase a Miele when we were first married but the cost put me off - how I wish I had listended to him! I have tried Hotpoint x 2, Hoover and Servis and they have all failed. Servis actually lasted me 18 months. Miele is living up to its expectations and I anticipate many years of happy washing!!

It is very quick. The controls are very easy to use and easy to adjust, if you want to. I thought I just wanted a 'good, simple machine' that did a 40 and a 60 degree wash. This machine makes having a sophisticated machine as easy to use as the simple one I thought I needed. I am now much more adventurous when programming my machine! How exciting is that? It is also very, very quiet. The plumber couldn't believe how quiet it was and went away impressed. The honeycomb drum is supposed not to beat up your clothes as much as other machines. I think this could be true too.
-
It looks a bit plasticky for a machine that is not a plasticky price. The door opens the opposite way round from my old one so it's more difficult to shift the washing to the tumble drier - but as I'm trying to cut down on tumble drier use....that's no bad thing. Actually, the Miele door crashed into the tumble drier door last week and broke off the catch - so you could argue that you shouldn't argue with a Miele - you'll lose.

Easy to follow instructions. Particulary like the computer system that will help you select the right wash. The automatic button makes suggestions based on the load. The digital display also tells you what part of the cycle it is on and how much time is left. At the end of the cycle clothes are occassionally tumbled until it is turned off to avoid creasing. Quiet machine with larger than average load size and good spin speed (less time drying). Bought because mother has a had a Meile for 10-15 years and I used it many times myself.
-
It was more than we could really afford but we hope it lasts 20 years. Previous machine (Hotpoint) which cost half the price needed expensive repairs 2 months after warranty ran out and then broke again. Another bad point - door sticks out and our dog uses it to get up to the worktop. Mum's Meile has a flat door.

None really. One thing I would like though - we had a dyson machine prior to this. This had a pull-out (and down) castor at the front, and was mounted on castors at the rear. This was great for ease of pulling it out to clean behind the machine. As the Miele's are so heavy, this would be a welcome function.

the only negative for us was that the cold water hose (it only has a cold water supply hose), which comes attached to the machine was not quite long enough for our position and is not allowed to be removed, so we had to replumb. you can buy longer hose from miele, but i didn't want to wait anymore.
