Re: Miele W4144WPS vs ISE Machine
All Miele washing machines have stainless tubs in the UK.
The new ISE looks good. To me it bridges the gap between the best of the rest and Miele but is not quite on par with a Miele. Nothing is because Miele are obsessed with being the best. The servicing and spares though are definitely likely to be cheaper and more easily available than a Miele and that’s where the edge is. Technical support and even diy repairs will also be much easier than a Miele because the ethos of ISE is to embrace the independent repair trade and really help them with tech support and spares. To me if the price of the new ISE was a few hundred pounds cheaper than a Miele it could be a very viable alternative but if it’s the same price or even higher then it’s a fight between a better built Miele with more expensive spares and repairs and the ISE (which could be argued is as well built as most people need) with easier repairs and spares.
