Miele T 7634 Novotronic

Advantages: Superbly built, long guarantee
Disadvantages: small loading drum

...I've been through lots of washing machines in my time. In my poorer newly married stage I bought cheap and cheerful and because there wasn't really that much laundry to do my first washing machine lasted about 7 years (it was an Indesit). After the children arrived we had even less money and in the 8 years since there have been mud encrusted rug rats in the house we've been through 3 'economy' washing machines! When my last one packed up after leaking through the base, and trying to give me electric shocks when I switched it on, I decided that we must invest in a better quality machine. I trawled the web for advice and Miele seemed to be the best solution in terms of money and build. When I went to buy one I was advised to go for the novotronic W526. This was evidently because when the assistant asked me if I used a machine over 5... Read review

Advantages: washes extremely well and quite quiet
Disadvantages: easy to use but i feel the technology used is to modern and goes wrong

Advantages: Cheap, reliable, quiet
Disadvantages: None!

...I recently bought this hoover on account of my other miele hoover breaking. However, i did not let this put me off buying from miele again. I found the hoover lived up to my expectations easily, with its cheap price and good reliability it is a winner! This model of the Miele very easy to use and also very simple to empty, you just have to throw away the bag. The noise level it makes is very small, a great reduction from my other earlier Miele hoover. The S411 comes in a range of colours but i would get black as it looks a lot sleeker. Therefore, i would reccomend this hoover to anyone who was looking for a cheap, reliable hoover. I guarantee that it will never let you down.... Read review
