Very easy to use, does a great job, and its virtually silent in operation.
This machine boasts a useful 1800 RPM spin speed making clothes nearly dry.

Due to its age, the capacitors on its computerised controller may have died (but this affects most electronics).

The Miele support line is very courteous, understanding and helpful. I just hope that it can be repaired quickly at an acceptable cost.

Ultra quiet,really you can mostly just hear the wet clothes slapping about as the drum rotates during wash cycle,rock solid, stable & effortless operation.Kills all machines i have previously used ( Thor,bendix,Simpson ).Truly excellent results - even in the express cycle (40 minutes). Very low water & detergent usage and not one issue in 6 years of heavy usage.Is easy to clean & still looks brand new.A bargain at the time at nearly half price from Miele's 'B-Stock' outlet.
Ultra quiet professional coreless motor,fantastic results,relatively fast cycles,programmability,low water & detergent usage
So far nothing - expensive at full retail but then ya get what ya pay for folks

Everything went well until year three!
As you would expect that was when the warranty expired also.
It just stopped. I enforced the NZ consumer Guarantees act. Meile NZ say 4-6 weeks to get new circuit board from Australia (I could swim there quicker). These machines are too complicated inside. The more 'sensors' the more to go wrong. Do we really need the machine to weigh the clothes? Sense the water level? Sense the fabric type? Sense for foam? Just clean the clothes - that's all we need :-)
washed well while it still worked
poor parts service and over complicated electronics inside.

I have owner a F&P and a Bendix front loader, the Miele beats them hands down. I love all the different wash cylces. Hubbys dirty work clothes come out spotless and hand washing is a thing of the past with the delicate cycle. I have owned this machine for 4 years and haven`t had any issues despite doing about 10- 15 loads a week. buy one you won`t regret it!!!! VERY GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY.
Super client, perfect wash every time, heaps of wash cycles
