Re: Miele belt squeak
Hey, Brian, I thought it would be a help to let you know about the cheap Bells
If you hadn’t swilled so much, you’d have seen where I said a BIT of WD….not half a jumbo-size tin of it :rolls: …..anyway, bet it proved your smoke alarms work OK….your missis will be very grateful for that – and no doubt later on you’ll be dumping her another load
of washing in the bath.talking of which, easy peasy 😉 get your wellies and a clothespeg
don’t forget to take the velcro off the inside-legs of the wellies (unless you keep a smart pair for public-wear ) clothes peg on nose’quick plod round the bath of nappies….pull plug….snifter of Bells (clothespegs don’t work that well) refit plug,fill. repeat a couple of times.
RESULT….happy wife clean wellies..clean bath …clean nappies. warm mellow feeling. 😆
I did tell you it would stop the squealing i was right, wasn’t I?
Bad news…The slipper length company has been bought out by a big Washer company and the nevva nevva ware belt has been took off the market
you missed your chance there!…now you’ll just have to keep getting stitched into those genuine parts that the nice miele man brings
as a matter of idle interest….do any of your kids like wearing overalls?
Re: Miele belt squeak
:hmm:
It seems it’s not just the belt that’s smoking something! 😉 We’ve gone off on a psychedelic tangent – this subject is serious!!
Brian, I think you have a valid point here. It should be a requirement that every manufacturer should, in finite detail, present the terms of use of appliances to clarify their “contract” between themselves and the end user. Every scenario must be presented. Even if you have a problem with your machine and the manufacturer calls to repair it free of charge, that still doesn’t make it fit for purpose. It could still go wrong. Washing for all those kids should make no difference to the warranty unless the manufacturer has stated as such.
Now, if this had been explained to you at the point of sale, would you still have spent that amount of money? Were you honestly led to believe that £1400 would buy you a quality machine that would never require a repair? You could have paid a whole lot less, even a quarter of that figure and got a machine that would have looked and washed in exactly the same way. It may have even been in a delectable silver colour and resembled the Miele in everything but name. The trade, with decades of experience would have told you that Miele was an excellent choice for quality and reliability: probably one of the best machines available. They would have advised you that the cheaper machine was a lookalike but not to worry, as the consumer laws could be brought to bear and the machine would be swapped without question. So why spend that much? It’s one to consider….. 😉Steve.
Re: Miele belt squeak
Hey, Mr. aqualectric,- stop rubbing it in.-I already told the poor beggar that with the wedge he’s blown on that there miele, he could have had an ISE 10 then with the change he could hav got an ISE5 as well.
anyway, cos he’s been playing rabbits, they would probably classify his tribe’s laundry as “light commercial” (you ever felt wet nappies? “light” my a55)….so he’d only get 5 year warranty…..but the parts after that would be a lot cheaper than the Miele and he would still have a nice shiny”5″ in reserve.
Well we all know about a fool and his money, don’t we.
Mr Penguin had a word with Brian cos he was screaming about his squealing belt…(we cured the squeal though, hey, Brian 😀 )
Brian’s keeping very quiet-maybe his missis was very grateful for him testing the smoke alarms, doing the washing and cleaning the bath. OTOH, he may have supped too much of that special offer Bells I told him about. – Or, he could be a bit embarassed cos you and I know he’s got himself stitched up like a kipper.
I am really pleased I could help him out.
Re: Miele belt squeak
Eh??
What was that all about?
My post was on a serious note; and to infer that anyone would be stitched up buying a Miele is really not on. They are a good quality machine and some other brands can be very lacking compared to them. That’s where I was going with that thread.
Yes, an ISE 10 would be an excellent choice for heavy workloads as it is a superb piece of design and engineering. 😉
Brian could be quite offended by the smutty bits though……. 😯Re: Miele belt squeak
Hello, Mr. aqulectric, (you’re a Steve too! so you must be a good bloke 😆
I’m sorry if I offended you, but let me explain..
Brian paid a lot of money for what is probably considered the”Rolls Royce” of washers. so he squealed like a stuck pig (or should that be ,”a slipping belt” 🙂 ) when it needed looking at for a bit of adjustment or a belt change……..sorry i’m going off again…….Just because you paid 1/4 Mill. for a Rolls, doesn’t mean it lasts forever! au contraire!….they need a service every 6,000 just like any other car…except,like miele, the service charge is commensurate with the price of the machine
£500 for a short service £700 the medium and £1000 for the biggie.(ballpark figures,parts extra.)
Now, that to me, is getting yourself “stitched-up” -lose about 200 a week in depreciation and about 15 p a mile in servicing costs.
I’m not saying that Miele OR Rolls-Royce are ripoffs…they just are a “bit “extravagant for the ordinary guy. likewise, a lot of people find the cheap £200 washer to be false economy,just like buying a Lada was.To use the Rolls analogy again…..one every 30 years, or 6 horrible Ladas in the same period.
Mr Brian has a lot of money in his machine…Is it good value? only Mrs Brian knows that one.
looking at Miele spares prices and their “closed shop” strategy, then comparing that with the ISE proposition….well, I ‘m pretty sure where I’d plonk my money.
Mr. Brian ,I’m sure won’t be offended, he’s a man of the world 😉I think you must have misunderstood …”smutty” indeed .
I suppose I could have suggested more clearly that Mrs brian must be really attractive, like a Bunny-Girl (perhaps you are too young to remember them?)
Erm, and it wasn’t me who was crowing about his bedroom olympics 😳

Apologies ,Bryan, but you knew where the cap fitted 😆

Re: Miele belt squeak
is now the best time to mention the fan belt on my aston martin is slipping??? 😆 😆
Re: Miele belt squeak
R600a, i personally think you should stop moaning about the sqeauking belt, you have the best brand going, just think there are people living with hotpoints and indesits and the like, surely you could show apprecietion?
if its under guarantee, get miele out to fix it, or if your an engineer then theres nothing to stop you fixing it yourself.the others are probably right, i think you may be hammering it to death, they last 20 years if used for 5 cycles a week

Re: Miele belt squeak
Hi All
Just an update,mrs B is going to use a pair of mole grips on steve if she ever meets him ” tha wont be pleasurable” 😈 .
Meile have come out and stated that its over worked,My reply isnt really allowed on the site.After the 7hours the engineer was here.” I pointed out just a few thing on consumer law that I learnt from ” PhilUK “.
16 Coffee’s 3 packets of jaffa cakes later, 2 visits from the police “he couldnt leave the house cos it was locked. 😡
Oh then 1 further visit from the police once he did leave,” I put his van on my low loader so he couldnt just drive off “. 💡 For some reason the police didnt like my idea of solving the parking problem by doubling up the vehicles. 😥
I have the regional manager coming out to see me concerning my concerns,For some reason he is coming by train and getting a taxi from the station :rolls: .
I will update you once he has been.
Bryan
