Smeg, Miele, Siemens: which integrated washer/dryer? Advice

Re: Smeg, Miele, Siemens: which integrated washer/dryer? Ad

Hi Laurence

As far as performance and build quality is concerned then I would go for the Miele everytime. You can achieve an almost built in look with it by adding the height adjusting kit. However as yo say you cannot fit a wooden door, but it does have a full length feature door (not the same I know). The 5 year guarantee is good too with a life expectancy in the region of 15 to 20 years it`s a good buy.

The Siemens would be my next choice. The C rating is more than good for this type of product. Two year guarantee on all Siemens products subject to registration is good.

Smeg appliances I am not all that au fay with, but I expect someone will see this thread and respond.

Regards
Don

Smeg? Over-rated, IMHO. The gap in quality between the Siemens/Miele and the Smeg is a big one!

Try the Neff V5340 which is from the same stable as Siemens which is slightly narrower on the depth at 578mm (might make a difference) 😉

Probably the only choice 😉

Don`t go too cheap as GB said in one of his previous posts about the makes to avoid.

Still stick with the Neff / Siemens or the Miele which over the years will work out cheaper than buying a cheaper model now.

The Zanussi of 10 years ago was in my opinion better than the current models.

I still believe Miele is perhaps the better option as far as Siemens go. They are expensive and I do agree on that 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} compared to the Whirlpools and others.

I suggest you should visit http://www.inods.com for more reviews on washer dryer, I came across a very good review for Miele. Once you have made up your mind, then maybe you could head to dealclick.co.uk for real good deals…hope this helps! 🙂

A lot of the model numbers on there are now old ie Hotpoint WD64. If you scroll down a little further Gb the Miele which was listed only got a measly two stars and that is also an old model too. For the latest information and all the thousands of years experience this site has to offer look no further 😀

I wonder how many years experience there is on this site between all the trade members? I bet it would be a very large figure 😯

I think Mr. P meant to end that message with…

“But CDA aren’t as good as Miele/Siemens!”
