to think about buying a Miele washing machine?

[whatkatydidathome]

they are stupidly expensive but supposedly last twice as long (or more) and have excellent reviews in Which - anyone got one? Are they that good? Have only ever owned one old Hoover machine and had always assumed that you couldn't really get stuff that clean - does a more expensive washing machine clean better or is it hype?

I don't find them that expensive tbh, think our basic one was £600, when you consider I went through 3 washing machines in 6 years, all costing 300- 400 hudred each, my 5year old mieles a chuffin bargain!

The Which best buy (which washes 7kg) is just over £950 in JL (with a 10 year guarentee though).

Yeah we got the 10year guarantee with ours, never sent the thing off tho

whatkatydidathome,...what model is the one in the which best buy please?

This star performer from Miele more than deserves its Best Buy status - it's the highest-scoring washing machine we've ever tested. It gives excellent cleaning results and is easy to use.

The Miele W5740 breezes through a hefty 7kg load in just over two hours on the cottons programme, and only takes an hour and a half on a full easy-care load of 4kg.

It's consistently excellent at getting your clothes clean, and follows up with a very thorough rinse for both cotton and easy-care garments, getting almost all the powder out of clean laundry.

it does go onto say that it is "not particularly quiet" though.

Thanks - will check it out Quiet for me is not a big point, though big capacity and a very wquick wash cycle is. (Not that I am impatient you understand...)
