Under engineered handle

published

Have had the fridge for just under 3 years. Works OK as a fridge
Disappointed that the handles are flimsy, and it has just broken - through normal use - a design flaw.
Seem to be now $300 out of pocket for a replacement one.
Not good for an expensive fridge - from a company that touts that their products are designed for a long service life.

Purchased in March 2021 for $3,509.00.

Terrible Product

published

We have bought this fridge along with the freezer which stand side by side and is fully integrated. Fridge has water constantly dripping at the back wall. Miele after sales care is also terrible. We were also told the same thing when the service technicians came to check out the issue, " It is how our fridges work to keep products fresh". I don't know about the freshness, food goes mouldy really quickly! I will never go for them again.

Buyers beware

published

This is a terrible fridge..constant dripping from the back due to condensation and temperature not cold enough....
After getting checked by a Miele approved technician (who was highly unprofessional), the outcome was Butane gas and coils; the cost to repair: 1200 AU$.
I will recommend to stay away from this brand...frankly very poor manufacturing quality, does not justify the cost..not even close..

Constant condensation

published

The fridge looks good, apart from the constant condensation drips down the back wall. No-one at Miele tells you this before you buy and when you complain they simply say it's how our fridges work and it will always be there. They asked if I'd put food against the back wall - I told them it hasn't even been used, but they're quick to blame the customer - no good customer service from Miele.
You can return it if you're not happy - but they charge you over $850 to return it.
Let the buyer beware - it looks really ugly. I will be replacing it as soon as I can.

Hi Jason....no cooling issues or any other issues actually to date. Probably best call Miele to have a look.

Definitely get Miele out for this one.
I just went away for 5 days and came back to a frozen freezer - when it's supposed to be No Frost. Miele are coming to sort that out.

How cold can the meat drawer be? Around zero degrees?

Hi, I think it can be held at zero degrees as the manual says the Perfect fresh zone (top drawer or meat drawer) is automatically held at 0 to 3 degreesC, however you can adjust it to 'highest temperature' or 'lowest temperature' on the fridge controls. I haven't done this and find it's been keeping fish fillets well for up to 48 hours (I don't leave them any longer than this I don't know what has happened to them before they get to me!). If you are serious about purchasing a Miele fridge, I'd recommend you download the full manual from the Miele Australia website as I did before purchasing the fridge - I found it really useful to read the operating and installation instructions to make sure I was fully aware that the fridge would function how I wanted it to and could be installed in my kitchen (it is rather tall). It would have also highlighted any restrictions/disclaimers that would have been a red flag, however there weren't any. I hope this helps, good luck.
