So happy, have been using it every other day for over 12 years without a single problem. Preserves the life of your clothing, uses minimal water and detergent. Can wash the most delicate items. ‘You get what you pay for!’

Love this machine, I don't have to do hand washing, as it does it for me. Everything is great about this machine. The only negative, is towels come out rough and crunchy, but that is bascially the case for most front loaders, then a lady in Myer selling me towels told me the trick, to put in a flat teaspoon of dishwashing powder into your load with towels and it will soften them.... and it works. Would buy this machine again when it dies, but no sign of that yet.

Thought I would share my experience with this machine - I have now owned it for 8 years and I am very happy with it ( family of 5). The only issue we have had is on two occasions the machine as stopped about 30 seconds into the wash cycle with ---- on dial with no error lights, hubby removed the filter and washed it and it continued to work.

Very disappointed with this machine. I've had it a few years and it has broken down many times. If I put more than a few things into it, the 'inlet drain' blocks and I have to drain the machine by tipping it to the side. Not a good machine for a family.

Cleans clothes well but clothes/towels always seem to come out very crunchy no matter how much I vary the washing powder. It has broken down after 4 years. It will take 2 weeks for a service man to come out and I'll have to deal with no wahsing machine for 2 weeks play a $170 call out fee. Ridiculous when you can buy a LG for half the price and lasts you 8 years.

Excellent washing!
Loud sound like a jet plane when spinning.
Has broken down 4 times in 4 years.
Has cost more to fix than the original purchase price.
Terrible customer service from Miele! Have been on phone hold for over 3 hours with no answer, had to go to the Facebook page and rant for a call back.

I have had this machine for 7 years now. I wanted a front loaders, and 1000 rev/mn minimum spin . I do about 3 loads a week. It is efficient. It washes well, rinses well and spin enough for the load to air dry in no time. It is so quiet that I sometimes forget to take out the washing to hang afterwards when busy. The machine is in a cupboard in our kitchen and nobody knows it is there.

Has been great, but after 4 years I think water has got into the motor. The Drain and inlet lights come on. Miele have said we would need to take it in for repairs, however when I drain the machine and tilt it to get out all the water the washer works again. This has happened twice in about a 2-3 months period. Not sure if it will come good permanently. I think you can get a great washer without spending over the thousand mark.
time display, quick wash and having the two hoses
maybe Miele doesn't last forever as the sales people would have you believe

The machine is absolutely fabulous. I wash three loads every day, 7days a week without fail. Themachine just keeps going and going, it is incredibly reliable and the quality of wash is excellent, cannot fault in anyway. Those who complain have no idea! Excellent product as usual from the Germans. It may be a little more expensive when purchasing but in my view so well worth it, nothing else compares.
Efficient, always, always reliable

Purchased the machine brand new from Harvey Norman. We have 2 children at home and the machine is used approximately 4 -5 times per week. The miele repair man said it was just bad luck! which I thought was a bit rich considering what I paid for the unit and it's age.
good when it was working

I had a Fisher Paykel top loader before which I really loved and thought that it did a good job. But I was just uneducated. Once I bought this machine I couldn't believe the difference in the clean. A once white T-shirt I was going to chuck went through this machine and came out white again!! The clothes are nearly dry when they come out of the machine and with all the rain we've had since I got this machine, it's saved me on having to use the dryer as much. Love it - will only ever buy Miele from now on. Hopefully it will be a long time before I have to buy another machine. The Miele service man came out to show me to get the best from the machine - for free!!!
Really clean clothes

Ive had mine for 18 month now and it sits in the laundry and ticks over like a clock. then out comes clean clothes. a dream to own, after years of putting up with whirlpool i didnt realise a washing could be this good i just expected it would break down every 6 months like a whirlpool does. Its been great highly recommend.
A brilliant machine, easy to use, quiet, clean wash. I just washes clothes so you forget how good it is. I had a Whirlpool before this and it was a nightmare. You dont appreciate a good machine untill youve had a chunker. Its worth every cent and then some.
none, its true miele is dearer than other brands but there worth it.

The best washing machine I've ever owned. Reliable, gentle on clothes and washes very well. Enameled outer shell won't rust like my last washer. I don't have the repairman out all the time like the washer before. It also never leaves soap residue, and doesn't use much washing powder.
Reliable, gentle on clothes, clothes come out clean.
