...to hate Miele?

I am attempting to call out an engineer under the extended warranty scheme. This is the fifth or sixth time the wretched thing has broken down in the last three or four years.

First I called John Lewis for the reference, and they put me through to Miele. After 20 mins, the phone went dead. Rang back, and after a further 20 mins got through to a call handler who needed to check my policy number, she said.Ten minutes later, the phone went dead again.

So frustrating. My Miele vacuum also broke down after 18 months.I am careful with my stuff and always follow the manufacturer's instructions.

I buy the best quality I can afford but it won't be Miele next time. They have an out of date pandemic related message on their holding thing as well. Seriously unimpressed.

Is Bosch any better? My old faithful washing machine will also need replacing soon...

I don't know but I am marking my place. I always thought Miele and Bosch were the best but I balk at the prices.

I'm in the market for a new washing machine and fridge and if anyone can recommend either I will be eternally grateful.

For a washing machine I would get an Ebac. I love mine. Made in the UK and when you call up there are two options and then someone answers the phone. The machine is the best I've ever had too. It's much better than my last one which was a super fancy auto dose thing.
