Miele W1613 Washing Machine

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 Miele W1613 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...

Miele W3824 - Simply Excellent

Advantages: Built to last
Disadvantages: None

...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...

Disadvantages: /

...manual drain - Water inlet filter: 2 * Dimensions and Weight: - Height (cm): 85 - Width (cm): 59.5 - Depth (including distance from wall in cm): 63.4 - Depth with door open (cm): 107.4 - Net weight (kg): 99 - Adjustable height (cm): +0.4 / -0.4 * Implementation - Preparation in laundries and dry column possible - Recessed under worksheet is possible (minimal height 85) Overall opinion: At home, we have a Miele W 1714 washing machine and a Miele T 7744 C. Miele is the best brand for washing machines and dryers. It has a German origin. This means is very high quality!!! This also means that you have to pay a lot: 754.631 pounds. Since we are a family with 4 members, we definitely need it. A normal dishwasher lasts for 12-15 years while a Miele last for 20+ years. We like this washing machine a lot!!! It is easy to...

Review of Miele W 1714 Softtronic

Miele magic

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...

Review of Miele W526

Get Excited About Washers

Advantages: Looks good, high spin speed, robust and durable
Disadvantages: None

...I dislike washers but I like Miele washers. The reason for this is because they last a long, a very long time and if, like me, you hate shopping for boring household appliances then you?ll love Miele for this reason alone. So when disaster stuck one evening in the form of a leaking toilet, collapsed ceiling (part thereof) and a partly rubble covered washer, boy was I pleased that I?d taken up the offer of 10 months for the price of 12 home insurance. So, my 8 year old Miele washer, which had harmed no one and done a cracking good job for me was no more. The insurance allowed me a like for like washer and of course I chose another Miele, but, the all singing all dancing *new* version, which in all honesty was more expensive but on par with my old machine on specification. £790 eek!! That?s a lot of money for a washer!! I remember...

MIELE, MIELE, MIELE, OI OI OI

Advantages: Quiet, 'Time Left' display
Disadvantages: Expensive

...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...

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...

Review of Miele Cat+dog+

  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 S712 (pet version)

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

...vacuum with a 1800w motor. This is because it depends on how well the vaccum is sealed and where the motor is placed, this particular vacuum cleaner has a 2000w motor and it is also properly air tight which is why it is more powerful than many other vacuum cleaners. This vacuum cleaner will not be practical for the whole house, it will be suitable for a small house or apartment but any house that has 3 bedrooms will not be suited to this vacuum cleaner; this is one of Miele?s compact model and it has the smaller dustbag and shorter cord. We use this vacuum cleaner for the upstairs only as we found it is more conveniant than an upright when working around beds etc. Normally uprights are best suited for carpeted homes, however I find that this vacuum does and excellent job on the carpets; they don?t turn flat and they look brilliant after...
