Miele G 2872 SCVi

Advantages: Build quality, performance, quiet, cool motorized door
Disadvantages: expensive, needs the full depth of a standard kitchen unit

...programs than you can shake a stick at, and most of them have some optional extras which you can select, such as Turbo (faster, but less economical and uses more water), and Extra drying. The menu system is very easy to use, and there is also a useful 'i' button which elaborates on the program you have chosen (e.g. "for crockery with dried on starchy food" or words to that effect, I'd check but the machine is running at the moment...). Dishes come out very clean as you'd expect, and it is very quiet while running....

Review of Miele G 2872 SCVI

Miele Cleaner

Advantages: Ease of use, Quality, Efficiency
Disadvantages: Initial cost (remember it is designed to last twice as long as other machines)

...A couple of years ago we went on Holiday to Germany and stayed in a self catering appartment on a farm. One of the pieces of equipment in the kitchen was a dishwasher, after 2 weeks using a dishwasher I thought how have we managed before! On return from our holiday one of the first things I did was look at buying a dishwasher. After checking out various different makes I came to the conclusion that the Miele range appart from being one of the most expensive looked as if it was far better put together than the other makes and that it was more enviromentally friendly in use of resorces (electricity, water and detergent). I found a good deal on the Miele G646 and bought it. Setting up the machine was easy, one water inlet hose connected to the cold water mains, outlet hose into the waste drain and the plug into the wall...

Miele (not another hoover)

Advantages: reliable,dependale
Disadvantages: bag fills to quickly,

...After buying 3 dysons and all 3 not lasting longer than 4 mths i decided to try a different make. What with having 2 dogs 1 a german shepherd what sheds hair like there is no tomorrow, the other luckily a short haired mongrel, but when she sheds she looses buckets full, plus 2 girls who dont care were they drop there wrappers and rubbish, we decided on the Miele cat and dog hoover. This is a cylinder hoover with a bright red and black casing. It has moveable castors for easy moving, a handle for carrying, The accesories are easily stored within the body, an dusting brush, upholstery nozzle, crevize nozzle. It is powerful with a completely sealed system. It has a great air flow, for every type of carpet or floor surface. They are equipped with speed controls with different speeds, 300,500, 700, 900, 1200, 1600, the 1600 is great...

Miele S5281: Don't make a Miele of the housework

Advantages: Specialist cleaning, well made and reliable
Disadvantages: None

...Well, my rubbish old vacuum eventually kicked the bucket so it was time for me to rush out and buy (well, add to my credit card) my beautiful new Miele vacuum having heard rave reviews about them from friends. I checked the which guide and other review sites and found that they were rated very highly which confirmed my choice of make and that just left the model to choose. I decided on the S5281 as it seemed a good, powerful, all-rounder. Then came the hunt to find the best price or deal, having not spent any money for while since having a baby I thought that a purchase of nearly £200 online would guarantee me some good discount, cashback or loyalty points. I found the vacuum for between £195 and £200 in many places and also found it in Argos for £175 - same model number but a slightly different name. I was a bit suspicious so...

Miele 1530SC Dishwasher.

Advantages: Very Quiet, very easy to program, load and unload.
Disadvantages: Only Price. But with our last machine lasting 18 years, good value.

...cover every brand of Rinse aid or powder. If you stack the dishes too high and obstruct one of the wash arms - the machine tells you. Our previous Miele Dishwasher (G579) lasted 18 years and the Miele Washing Machine is over 20 so we are hoping for the same longevity from this one....

  My Miele is a pearl of a cleaner

Advantages: Quiet, easy to use, very good suction
Disadvantages: bagged

...A couple of months ago there was a lot of singing and dancing around the house when my horrible, useless Dyson Animal vacuum cleaner decided it had had enough. Even before this happened I had already decided I wanted a Miele Cat and Dog to replace the stupid thing, so the next day we set off in search of checking out the cleaners in the local shops. We visited Comet as this is the nearest largest retailer near us. I headed straight to the Miele Cat and Dog, which was around £200.00, Darren, my husband had a play to make sure it would built properly, (anything to get out of paying a lot of money) he then noticed a Miele that was on offer. We compared both the Cat and Dog with the Red Pearl and they both seemed to have exactly the same power and attachments, in fact they looked exactly the same except the Red Pearl was £30...

Review of Miele S5 RED Pearl

Make mine a Miele

Advantages: Small with a powerful motor
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Miele S4510 Vacuum Cleaner ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With the demise of our unloved Dyson we found ourselves in need of a replacement vacuum cleaner. Having bought the Dyson in a fit of suburban snobbery some five years ago we had initially been very pleased with its performance. Within a year, however, its effectiveness began to reduce and slowly deteriorated over time until recently it became increasingly unable to clean anything like efficiently. When it finally gave up the ghost we began the search. The first problem is choice. There are a huge number of vacuum cleaners around from a multitude of big name manufacturers and the variety of machines on offer is bewildering. Do you want upright or cylinder? Wet or dry, with a bag or bagless (debagged?). Vacuum cleaners are a boring necessity of domestic life, unloved they are...

Miele Dishwasher - Quiet and Efficient

Advantages: Very Quiet, Efficient, Economical, Cleaning Options to Suit All Loads, Fantastic Cleaning Ability, Timer Delay
Disadvantages: More expensive to buy initially - but worth every penny !

...This dishwasher is really superb. I have had Zanussi dishwashers for the last 15 years and been fairly happy with them. Owning the Miele has made me realise what I could have had for all these years! My crockery, cutlery and pots & pans have never been so clean and in good condition after a dishwasher cycle before. They all seem to have been given a new lease of life and they look almost new again. I have challenged the dishwasher with some baked on oven trays and it cleaned them easily. I have complete control over the programme cycles. The timer delay allows for cheap rate usage at night with the benefit of the quietest machine I have ever heard. We do not get disturbed in the night at all. The functions for using 3-in-1 tabs etc, cuts the amount used in the dishwasher cycle and saves money on salts and rinse aids...

Clean up with Miele S 380

Advantages: Quiet running & easy to use
Disadvantages: Not up to tougher cleaning

...Review of Miele S 380 cleaner This is a bagged vacuum cleaner from the manufacturer, Miele. The Ciao photograph shows the product in red however my own is 'Bahama Blue'. I purchased mine to replace a cylinder style cleaner that I use for my static caravan. **The product** The vacuum cleaner is a fairly basic model, it does not come with many attachments, i.e. No pet hair brush, or fragrance pocket for those little air fresheners. The cleaner is fairly quiet running in comparison to my upright cleaner (Dyson) which I use at home. It is ideal for carpeted floors, but I have to admit that I do not find it particularly efficient on longer piled carpets as it is hard work to manoever over anything other than a medium thickness carpet. The cleaner is useful for quick clean ups, when you just want a rapid tidy up rather than a full...

Review of Miele S 380

Miele S712 (pet version)

Advantages: Powerful suction, hygenic and quiet.
Disadvantages: Not widely available.

...After having a Dyson for nearly eight years, we bought this vacuum cleaner. The reason for this? The Dyson proved to be rather fragile and unreliable and had many repairs over it's life, after the bottom part began to crack we decided it was time for a new vacuum cleaner. The actual cleaning performance of the Dyson was not at all that bad, it was just that it was too fragile, unreliable and rather messy to empty. Purchase We went to our local Currys store and had a look at a few machines, the initial plan was to get the cheapest Miele cylinder (Miele S380) and use it exclusively for upstairs and then we would get the new Miele upright for downstairs. We were very close to buying the Miele S380 when the Miele S712 caught my eye; it was not so expensive and it had a turbobrush which is always a bonus. The Miele S380 was 96 pounds...
