Amazing products and second to none service
I moved to Australia in 2011 from Canada, where Miele is not well known. We made our first purchase of a pair of Washer and Dryer in 2013. Since then we've added two dishwashers, a steam oven, 4 vacuums, a coffee machine, fridge and freezers.
All have been excellent and extremely reliable. The company goes out of its way to give the best customer service possible. I've dealt with several employees from tech that have come out to fix minor issues or perform maintenance, and sales staff at Frenchs Forest and at their headquarters in Melbourne.

Not one problem
I purchased a Miele washing machine and heatpump dryer 5 years ago,I've read all these negative reviews but no one wants to put on a good review.
I'm a service technician not with Miele,and my experience is they are a good product, man made and nothing in this world is perfect.
I will buy another one when this one fails,but i will fix it myself.
Great product thankyou Miele.

Avoid Miele Gas Cooker & 90cm oven.
We purchased both appliances 3 years ago, The cooktop is the worst one I have ever purchased. From the beginning the burners started to stain and rust. The glass top is impossible to clean and was advised to purchase a microfiber cloth and cleaning products from Miele which do not work. The alarm keeps going off everytime you clean the glass plate and you need to reset it. After 3 years the cooktop looks old and warn.
My oven needs to have the seal replaced constantly. The material used is not up to standard, but we are
made to pay top money. I would not buy another Miele product again and would not recommend this product.

Stay Away From Miele!!
Excellent service?
Good luck....... We thought we were buying an appliance with great service support.
Couldn't get through on the phone to even book a repair person, so filled out inquiry online - no response back. I got an independent repairman who didn't know what an F50 fault was...... Finally got hold of Miele to ask this question to help out but they said they wouldn't tell him because he wasn't a Miele repairman. Then I got a txt response from Miele to fill out a customer satisfaction survey, but only on something called 'Whispur'. Eve...Read more

No reaction from Miele Customer Service after failed attempt to repair dishwasher
After my (less than 3 year old) Miele dishwasher broke down, I tried to request a technician appointment from the customer service request form of the Miele web page. This resulted in no response from Miele. I then called Miele customer service to book an appointment. After 15 minutes wait time I was told a technician is only available with over a week wait time (due to the rain they told). They also told me I can better look around for a local technician by myself. Then I booked the Miele technician with the long wait time ($179).

Never again!
We paid a premium 5 years ago to acquire a G6300SCU based on the supposedly legendary Miele reliability. The machine started showing a F24 error a few weeks ago so we decided to call the service centre. We got charged $213 ($179 call out fee + $34 for an additional 15mins) to be told that replacing the heater relay didn't work and that they were not sure what the issue was (perhaps replacing the control board which would cost $600+)!
The machine served us only 5 years, not even running a cycle everyday! This is completely unacceptable given the price! Miele is using their brand name (gained years and years ago) to sell junk machines at a premium price!
We will never buy Miele again and will advise people to stay away from it too!

Worst experience ever
Currently 3 months and still ongoing. My pensioner parents bought a few Miele applications for their kitchen renovation and the rangehood just seemed stuck on 3rd/highest setting and made a dreadful amount of noise. Had their technician out 3 times to date, a number of missed appointments and never got follow ups as promised. Personally have to call up and chase each time to make numerous booking attempts and find out what was wrong or needed to be done. Each visit never complete. What had happened was finally a switch that was missing was inst...Read more
alled but didn't make a difference and blamed lack of duct into ceiling as cause but didn't make sense as to why switch didn't make difference in the amount of noise which was the original issue and how a lack of a hole into the roof would cause such a commotion. My pensioner parents had to spend extra for a new duct and installation which proved that ducting was not the issue as the duct made no difference to the amount of noise that the unit was making. Escalated to the area sales rep who said will organise technician again and said will replace if unit faulty but as yet to receive date/time as to when technician will be out again or a call back for that matter. Would never recommend Miele to anyone as I would never want to subject them to this kind of experience ever.1 comment

Broken dishwasher within 2 years
We paid premium for a Miele G4920 about 2.5 years ago. It started showing F11 error after 18 months. It's now becoming completely unusable and wasting a lot of water with multiple re-tries every evening. Comparing to our previous Westinghouse that lasted good 10 years without a glitch, Miele is very disappointing. We called around and was asked for at least $179 call-out fee without any commitment to getting it fixed. Started shopping around for a replacement. This is a LAST Miele for us!

Miele Washing Machine
I am very disappointed in the quality of Miele washing machine and the lack of support offered to resolve fundamental issues.
I purchased a WTH 130WPM Washer / Dryer and it was delivered to home. There was a defect with the machine and it could not be used. Miele to their credit offered to replace the machine two days later. It was delivered today and the new machine has the same fault. So we are now looking for machine number three in another week. One must question the Quality Assurance program of Miele to have 2 x $4,000 new washing machin...Read more
es fail. What is lost on the service teams is that my wife and I have had to take a half a day of work each and have been without a washing machine now for nearly two weeks - going into the third. It appears all of the service is on the sale process and supporting the customer after this process is a very distant second. We have spent many hours on hold trying to get through or in discussions around what the issue is. Surely there could be a highly skilled service technician available to help customers in these situations.2 comments

DONT PURCHASE MIELE
Recently renovated my house and purchased some very expensive Miele appliances. So disappointed especially with the machine machine. Has destroyed clothing and had Miele service out 4 times and there is nothing they can do. Pretty much left with a machine machine that I now can't use after 3 months. No customer service. Will never use them again

The Company that could!
I purchased a slimline Meile Dishwasher, just over two years ago when l totally renovated my kitchen and utility room in an old stables Coach house. The designer said it was like putting a 12 gallon bucket is a spce designed for 5 gallons. My concern was that as a retired chef the dishwasher would be too small for entertaining.
After two years of use, l'm very pleased to report that; with the cutlery draw at the top taking care of upto 40 pieces at a time and the well racked two draws below, with no cutlery basket, l get exactly the same amount of plates, bowls as with my full size washer. Fantast.Fantastic result!

Three times a year our Miele dishwasher stops working and shows F24. Getting a repair man is not easy as I live in a rural area. Cheaper machines seem more reliable . My sister has had a cheaper brand for 8 years and it has never stopped working.

Don't buy Miele
I purchased a Miele induction cooktop, large oven and a dishwasher about 10 years ago. We have had problems with the induction cooktop since the beginning. We have had the service people out approximately 8 times and we are still having problems. It isn't working at the moment and we are just deciding whether we will just get rid of it and buy a different brand.
The touch screen which operates the oven is now faulty and we have been quoted $1,400 to fix it and we have been told that that is heavily discounted!! So our oven isn't working either.
About 2 months ago our dishwasher broke as well so we had to pay quite a bit to have that repaired. I'm not happy with the products or the service and couldn't recommend Miele to anyone.

Dishwasher G4920U - F24 failure and it is only 3 yrs old - don't know what their definition of longevity and quality is?
We purchased a Miele Dishwasher model G4920U on 9th Jan 2017. We upgraded an old Conia dishwasher to a Miele based on the strong branding presence Miele have in the market for quality and longevity.
On the weekend we started getting an intermittent error message F24. I contacted their Customer Support to arrange a service call to get this issue fixed expecting it to be fixed at no cost to us. I was informed we only had a 24 month warranty on the dishwasher and we would be liable for the call out fee of $179, part costs to be determined and an ...Read more
additional cost of $34 for every extra 15 mins beyond the initial 30 min. I have had to book a service call against my better judgment as I would have rather secured a waive of cost before a technician is onsite. This experience has been extremely disappointing from Miele their website promotes - “When you buy a Miele appliance, you choose longevity and the best in quality”??? They are still hiding behind that a technician needs to check what the issue is - there should be no issue with a 3 yr old machine1 comment

Totally unreliable dishwasher
We purchased a new dishwasher about 4 years ago. It tends to break down twice a year. Mainly F24 issues. Better to cut my losses and get a cheaper brand. It’s just not worth the cost of repairing it every year. I will never buy Miele again.

Such a disappointment and such a stress - buyers beware!
We thought we were buying appliances that would a long term investment so would justify the expense, but in the space of 3 years our induction cook top has broken twice and dishwasher once, each time requiring new electrical parts which have taken a long time to source and replace. And now our washing machine has broken with an f20 fault that can only be rectified by a service call out and parts which are likely to exceed hundreds of dollars. With 5 month old twins at home and a mountain of washing to get through I'm ready to break. So upset and so disappointed. Immer besser should really be schlechter und schlechter!

l Meille appliances . The fridge was replaced free of charge after 7 years, what went wrong with that was something that had a lifetime warranty on it but that was replaced after many service calls . The dishwasher when new stopped working, that also under warranty . The very expensive coffee machine, that has also required a serviceman to attend to it, I am nervous to say it but the washing machine and dryer have been good and also the warming oven has not broken down but is not useable because it does not close properly, apparently it is a weak arm something to do with the arm needing to be stronger. The serviceman for the cooktop is fixing this when he comes back . In my opinion Meille is probably not what it once was for quality service and reliability,I will not recommend their product s to anyone that asks3 comments

Dishwasher breakdown, just out of warranty
Bought what I thought was a premium product to replace our last very old and reliable Bosch. We are only 6 months or so beyond 2 yr warranty and its broken down. Appears to be a problem with water inlet or pump. You would expect these items to last more that 2.5 yrs, otherwise why pay up to $2k for it in first place. From what I can see quite a few others have had similar problem. 5 yrs expectation on reliability of mechanical should be a minimum. Facing high service fee + parts is pretty shocking within such short period of time. This was our ...Read more

Sandi B.asked
In Feb 2022 I purchased the WKH 132 WPS 9kg Twin Dos washing machine. Initially the clothes came out smelling worse than when they went in but it transpires that the technically advanced automatic machine has to be manually told to use the built in detergents. By manually selecting the 'Dos' button every wash the smell has resolved however the clothes are not particularly clean. Despite routinely separating colours, darks and whites every time my whites are grey and dull. The service technician has been twice and runs diagnostics checks, tweaking the settings, but the problem remains and my frustration grows. I would like to know if Miele could consider an alternative response or advise me of my options.

Hi Sandi, thanks for your questions and apologies for any issues you are having. Confirming you are selecting whites vs colours as the twin dos system does dispense a different ratio of ultraphase1 and ultraphase2 dependant on that selection and then different amounts dependant on the soiling level selected. We recommend you book a service call using https://www.servicebooking.miele.com.au or if you have any questions don't hesitate to call us on 1300 464 353 (please be aware these contact methods are for Australia only). Kind regards, Jack.
Hi Jack, I can confirm I select whites for white load. Do you think a third service call will help?
