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...

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 for me! Microwave M8151

Advantages: Quick Start function/Grill/Variable Power and Grill levels/2 Year Guarantee
Disadvantages: I can't really find any disadvantages.

...at the push of a button if you are in a hurry. I chose it specifically because it also has a grill function. I think it is a good looking appliance. I also notice that it has a free 2 year guarantee, whereas the AEG only offered 1 year. (As it turned out for me, their one year guarantee was worthless, because offering to refund my money, but leaving me with a hole in the wall in a brand new kitchen was no help at all.) As I said in my review title - its Miele for me from now on....

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...

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...

Review of Miele S4510

Miele realy are miles better

Advantages: excellent build quiet reliable
Disadvantages: initial outlay

...Our latest addition to the kitchen was a new Miele W360 washing machine. the last washing machine we had was a Zanussi Washer/dryer and after 6 years it was no longer economical to repair needing a new timer at a cost of £113.00 plus fitting the best part of a new machine! We looked arround at various machines but kept finding that the attention to detail on all the Miele machines could not be matched by any of the other manufacturers. In the end would got an excellent deal on the Miele with free delivery! The first thing I noticed about the machine was the quality. For starters it was solid and no amount of moving it damaged the excellent finish you only had to look at the Zanussi and the enamel would come off! The machine is fully programeable and very quiet a bonus when I'm on a night shift! The machine also shows the time...

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...

Marco's Kitchen

Advantages: Marco, celebs getting flustered
Disadvantages: not long enough

...I was once told that I was just like Marco Pierre White. Taking this as a compliment I mearly assummed that they were referring to how incredibly talented I am when working with food. Sadly this was not what they were getting at. I have recently discovered that it was more down to the fact that a lot of the time I say things which make no sense whatsoever! This is one way is what can make Marco's Hell's Kitchen so funny. I never watched it when Gordan Ramsey was doing it. But since Marco has taken over I've become completely addicted to it. Down to the fact that they've cut down the programme from what was 90 minutes to the hour, the amount of cooking where we actually got to see how they were doing it has been decreased. Appareantly due to the fact that ITV are 'skint' they couldn't afford to get any celebrities of a high standard...

Miele Tumble Dryer - Quiet and Efficient

Advantages: Very Quiet, Efficient, Economical, Drying Options to Suit All Loads, Timer Delay
Disadvantages: More expensive to buy initially - but worth every penny ! Slightly more creases than other brands .

...This Tumble dryer is really superb. I have had Bosch and Hotpoint dryers 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! The Miele dryer is very efficient and has intelligent sensors. It starts off estimating how long the programme will take but then adjusts its timer to automatically suit the moisture content in the drum. This makes it very economical as it always shortens the time. 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 extra dry, normal, hand iron, machine iron and low temperature mean that you choose what condition the washing is in when it comes out. It...

Fantastic Miele Cat & Dog Hoover !

Advantages: Powerful..Easyand light to use . Worth every penny for the easy housework !
Disadvantages: The Miele hoover bags i think are a little on the expensive side ..

...I have owned my Miele cat & dog hoover now for 3 weeks . I have run my own house now for 30 years and have owned a few hoovers in that time and have cursed and sworn and each and every one of them ! One was way to heavy and bulky to use on the stairs ( upright Hoover ), another could'nt even suck the fluff off the carpet ( vax hoover ) . I have even owned a Dyson , which i paid good money for and it worked brilliantly for the first few months , then it just seemed to lessen in power and eventually it was used for cleaning the car only. I then was reduced to sweeping the carpets with a broom ! Then my daughter bought a Miele cat and dog hoover because she has 5 dogs and cat . I watched with an open mouth and this little light weight red hoover ran across her living room carpet and left a completely clean stripe behind it ! I had to...
