We needed a new washing machine after our AEG machine had gone wrong after only 18 months. We were messed about for two weeks while they tried to fix it but in the end we decided we couldn?t take any more. We went to John Lewis and looked at all the machines and read all information we could find and in the end decided to buy the Miele 3824. While it was at the top end, if not beyond what we wanted to pay the quality and security we got from the 10 year parts and labour warranty made it worth while. We went into the store and ordered it on a Thursday and they arranged a special delivery for Saturday morning.
It took one delivery driver to wheel out the old AEG but two of them with some skill to wheel in the Miele. Out of all the machines we looked at these are the best built and very solid. They are so heavy that one person ...
Advantages: Quiet, Water and Energy Saving Features, Easy To Use Disadvantages: Very Heavy, Expensive to Buy.
We have recently become the proud owners of a MieleW1613 washing machine.
It has all the usual programmes with some added options.
The express programme completes a wash in 30 minutes at 40C.
It washes whites perfectly at 60C. Water and energy consumption are determined by the size of the load so when smaller amounts of laundry are washed the automatic load recognition system reduces the amount of water, time and energy used.
The machine is extremely quiet and very easy to use, the estimated programme duration appears in the digital display which counts down to let you know visibly when the cycle will finish (which can be disabled to save energy) there is also the option of a buzzer which sounds when the machine has finished its wash.
This machine has no faults that I can see from a performance point of view but it is very heavy ...

Well I never thought I would find myself being all enthusiastic about a washing machine! I would hardly describe myself as a domestic goddess!
Although this machine is incredibly expensive (mine cost approx £700, I would say the 10 year guarantee is worth that on it's own!) it is absolutely worth the money, in my opinion. After having nothing but trouble with Hotpoint machines (not to mention their stroppy engineers) I decided to invest in a Miele. WHAT AN INVESTMENT!
Having 3 children my washing machine gets a massive amount of use which is no problem for the Miele.
The noise that comes from the machine is so minimal that if it wasn't for my youngest son standing in front of the machine circling his head round along with the drum I would forget it was on. Gone are the days of my machine hopping it's way along ...
