Miele Immer Bessel!
Bought this model top of the range at time in Nov 2005. Have moved 6 times since. No problems. No need for service. We are a couple only, but this machine has not skipped a beat in 13.5 yrs. Will buy again in future, of course latest model.
It has washed everything from king cotton blankets, doona covers, towels, dog bed covers! To woollens and silks.
Linen, creasing, I simply reduce spin speed.....easy!
If I’m in a hurry use quick wash cycle!
Purchased in November 2021 for $2,000.00.

Noisy, vibrates and clothes come out wrinkled from the beginning
We bought this machine 7 years ago with a companion dryer and plinths for both. From the start, it vibrated so much it would hit the adjoining bench. In addition the clothes come out so badly wrinkled everything needs ironing. We are a 2 person household and do washing twice a week on a delay start. The machine is on a concrete slab with a floating wooden floor on top. We had someone from Miele to come out to check the installation first before we went to the expense of a full service or even replace the underneath section of flooring. He...Read more
said there was nothing wrong, no need for an expensive service call(shocks were ok) but to only use the spin cycle at a max of 600 which means the clothes come out wet and still wrinkled and use the 'Water Plus" function which defeats the water saving beneit of a frontloader. My sister has an LG front loader and daughter in law a new Miele frontloader - both love their machines, quiet and wrinklefree washes. Don't know what to do about mine.Similar opinion?

Excellent Machine
Have had our machine for 7 years, serviced once - continues to run perfectly with continual use from a family with teenage boys.

Update on Miele
After 7 1/2 years it decided to play up. As it wasn't convenient to wait around for a miele tech to come out I decided to have a look. Instructions seem to be pretty consistant as they are all fairly similar in their construction. Found a problem with a worn out brush in the motor which took 5 minutes to replace. Couldn't believe it was so easy. $50 and a few hours. And now I have a pretty good idea of any other future issues if they arise.

A great machine - still going strong.
Oh so quiet, performing flawlessly for 5 years since our LG wobbled it's way back to Harvey Norman, who were great and let us trade up paying the difference even though we had the LG 18 months. It spins super fast and the clothes come out very dry. Woolen setting works perfectly. Takes a big load and hasn't missed a beat. Lots of settings and overall very happy.
Update 2016:
Hasn't put a foot wrong with heavy regular use apart from our objects, like hair pins and the odd coin, blocking the outlet tube which inhibits the spin cycle. Easy to unblock but have a towel and a large flat tray ready to catch the water.
Quiet and reliable.

Miele needs to repair my unit again tomorrow and replace a very expensive spare parts inside the machine. I give credit though to Miele for being considerate that they will still put the repair under warranty even if the warranty itself expired already 4 months ago. So I don't need to pay anything for the repair. I will still recommend this Miele model considering how well it cleanses clothes.
This machine washes clothes very well; my clothes are definitely clean. I like the honeycomb care system of this washing machine. The system looks a...Read more

Bad
Meile washing machine products are excellent providing they don’t break down. We bought a Meile front endloader model W2515. Our broke down after 3 years. Contacted the approved Meile repairer on 24/2/2010 it is now 27/03/2010 and still the repairs have not been done. Meile Australia are not very professional as they do not offer any postive assistance and have still not supplied the parts for this machine to be repaired. We have to do all the chasing up. Not only that, it will cost about half the washing machines cost to repair. Now that is not fair since Meile’s website boasts free 5 year warranty at this time.
Plenty of functions. Ease of use.
If it breaks down repairs are lengthy and parts very expensive

My Miele nightmare
I have had this machine for 5 years now and bought it brand new. Up until a year ago it worked like a dream, but now it randomly stops during a cycle without showing a fault. After stopping and beeping at me whilst the water drains out, it will not work for days before suddenly running through a full cycle as though there is nothing wrong - very frustrating!! We've checked everything and the Technician can find no problem. Seems to be very temperamental. Out of warranty, of course.
Love everything about it, when it works
Miele are no help. No one can find what the fault is.

Really Disappointed feel ripped off
We bought our machine four years ago. We are anal about looking after our possessions so the machine is like brand new. There is only myself and my husband so the usage of the machine is low. It broke down over a month ago. It has just been fixed and cost $1200 to fix. The meile repairer would not say it was caused by a power serge so we could not claim it on our fusion insurance. Miele said they would help but nothing has happened yet. While the machine was out of action I used a 21 year old Hoover that we had with all our three children then ...Read more
my daughter used it with her four children and it is still going. Thank godness for the Hoover! We would never buy Meile again they are not what they say they are. 4 years is a joke for such an expensive item. Unless we get some satifaction from Meile we will do our best to spread the word about Meile washing machines hoping to save others the same grief and exorbitant cost. Not happy at all!! washed clothes well, good when it does work bad warranty service, had to wait over a month for the repair, cost half the price of a new machine for one part2 comments

Love it!
My husband had a Hoover top loader and although I hated it, I never bothered to change for years as it worked okay. Then we got this 2nd hand Miele and during the first wash after we had it, my husband kept checking if it was working because it was so quiet. Our Hoover made so much noise, walked while it's working and scraped our wall in the process, and didn't clean clothes as well as should. Miele is really quiet, just a bit of noise during spin cycle, and it's so sturdy it still stands where we first put it. My husband loves the result of Mi...Read more
ele. He's a chef and his worn uniforms always smell of kitchen with splashes of colorful sauce on. Hoover never could get rid of the smell after wash, and sometimes our hot water ran out during the wash. Miele uses cold water but the machine heats the water up which means the water remains at your desired temperature the whole cycle. His chef jackets come out clean, white, and with a smell of fabric softener rather than kitchen odor. My clothes also last longer. I love the delicate and hand-wash programs. I no longer hand-wash anything! And it saves me a few trips to dry cleaner too. (I didn't want to risk my clothes with Hoover, if the label says dry-cleanable i'd take them to dry cleaner :) after reading a few reviews about how disappointing their service is, I'll probably be buying a new one if it breaks down. Although the previous owner didn't look after the machine - my husband and I had to clean the inside and the detergent drawer for hours before we could use, it still doesn't show a sign that it needs service. I always switch the machine off after it finishes each wash, it's just that I don't want to pull damp clothes from the machine when it has current - so the default setting of cotton 60 degrees doesn't bother me as it's expected anyway. Overall, I really love my Miele and would buy a Miele again in future. clothes come out clean. doesn't ruin the fabric. the buzzer to alert me when finishes (cuz it's so quiet I sometimes forget). timer - love the timer. bit pricey.Similar opinion?

When I purchased a W2888 this machine was given to my mother in law, who is in her early 60's and never had anything other than a Top loading machine. She immediately found it easy to use, and raves to everyone about how good her machine is.
Most of my family that have bought FL machines as part of the water crisis in QLD, complain constantly about the long cycle times and the inability to add clothes during the cycle. With the Miele, neither of these things are issues. A standard cycle for lightly soiled clothes takes 40 minutes, and the...Read more
door can be opened at any stage other than when spinning or if the temp is above 55degs. In a household with two adults, I need to do only 5 loads per week, so dont be put off by a capacity which appears lower than the competition. Talk to the salesman about the drum volume rather than the rated capacity and I'm sure in most cases you'll find that the 5.5kg Miele is larger than even some 8kg machines. The two main cycles I use are Cottons and Minimum Iron, I wash whites at 50-60degC and Coloureds at 30-40. Business shirts come out unwrinkled and easy to iron, and dirty white socks now stand no chance. I highly reccomend this machine and beleive that the cost is worth the quality that it gets you. This machine was my first front loader and is simplicity in design. A couple of button presses and you're guarenteed a perfect wash in 40 minutes with sparkling whites and unwrinkled well spun clothes that dry quickly on the line, even in winter.Similar opinion?

I usually do a prewash with mine so I can use napisan (have 2 boys). It all goes in the drawer and adds a little time but is still done in less than an hour.
I have had this machine for over 5 years and I still love it it (after having a Whirlpool that I hated)
Easy to use
Cleans clothes really well
Lots of functions
Does a normal load in 40 minutes and you can open the door until it's at the end of its wash cycle.
Wish it was a bit bigger, but I think it holds more than the 5 kilos it says.

I would definatly recommend this machine to everyone as it uses such a small amount of water makes you not feel so guilty about washing during the drought when you have a family. It washes as much as my previous 8.5kg top loader and separating clothes is not such a necessity as nothing gets fluff on it. It is great adding those extra things after you have started the machine if necessary. I love my Miele.
I purchased this machine, my first front loader 10 months ago and I think this is just fantastic, I love the timer especially with the busy lifestyle I have.

very happy with the machine overall and Miele service so far. Have not persued Miele on the locked cycle issue as yet as it does not cause me too much grief. It has definately been a great water and power saver and washes the clothes very well. I would recommend this front loader.
My clothes have never been cleaner and we have saved a considerable amount of water as shown on our water bills (even with an extra baby in the family). Can take up to 12 bath towels at a time and needs only a tablespoon of powder per wash. No more hand washing a...Read more

Hi Romina,
Sorry to hear about your problem.
It's possible you have a blocked drain filter ....
Have a look in your manual and check out how to clean out a blocked drain filter in the problem solving guide section on p 37.
If you no longer have your manual go to http://www.miele.com.au/au/domestic/service/aftersales_operatinginstructions.aspx and type in W2525 in the product code box to download one.
Feel free to ask more questions.
cheers
Thank you Andy 92 for your reply to my email the technician did come last week and unfortunately it was not a blocked drain filter, to repair my W2125 is far more expensive then expected $650 to replace the front panel plus $159.00 for call out . So disappointed in the life of my Miele I thought buying up marketing $2400 I expected the product to live up to at least 10yrs plus. So sorry to say I shall go back to the cheaper brands which I do expect to have faults at 7 yrs and I will still have change to buy another and still have change, I think Miele needs to take a look at the technology and price of products.
Regards Romina
