ParticipantRe: Will the Miele last with 3 kids?!
Not necasserliy, the bearings can go for that reason, but also because its cheap steel they’re made from, obviously, that the cheaper a machine is, its going to be stuffed with inferior components.

Yes you will, despite the spin on the Miele only being 1200, the drum is a ‘microhole’ which means it has really lots of holes. Its not necessary the spin speed that makes it effective, its also the amount of holes. As Indesit would use thin tinny steel, they’d only be able to put a certain amount of holes in, but because Miele use thicker steel- they can perforate more holes.
So an expensive 1200rpm machine can spindry more effectively than a 1600rpm cheap machine.
Hope this helps. 😕

Go for it, I’d say. WQ, what is your Prestige Plus like, we’re thinking of buying that one?

ParticipantRe: I am death to washing machines. Help!!
May I stick my beak in, and suggest a Miele? Personally they are brilliant machines, just as good as the ISE 10’s (I admit) , but they dont have large drums, but are as solid as a rock. Even the basic machine the Prestige Plus, will outlast many of the other machines on the market.

ParticipantRe: Hoover New Wave Making Strange Sounds
Could the noises be suggesting that the motor is on the way out?

Have you had any work done to the plumbing in your house? As this could be reducing pressure.

ParticipantRe: Miele – not as good as everyone says.
Yes, theyr’e certainly not made the way they used to be. I believe our Hoover New Wave is approaching its 16th birthday- (1 year younger than me!) and its still working sort of, but we will soon be getting a Miels for xmas. Hooray!

I do understand that you have not been treated well by Miele, and if that is your experience, i would send a complaint to the head office in Germany, (the organgrinder and the monkey sort of situation). As for the machines, 1 out of a few thousand, doesn’t make the machine not reliable, and I hope the new Miele replacement will be all you expect.

According to the brochure, Miele test the drums for snags, the controls, the stability and door, they also test every machine before it leaves the factory.

You are joking right? Just because one Miele doesn’t work doesn’t make all the rest unreliable and the company crap, I sing their praises, as they’re the only brand that test their products thoroughly. I honestly can’t believe you can say that about them , you’d favour a Merloni job would you, which have a failure rate of 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} and i’d guess you’d rather contribute to that big hole in the ground then, thats where all the cheap models go.

No, pressure switches are supposed to click, its how you can tell if they work and of course you can hear clicking when the machine is working. Only a gentle blow is required to test these things or you could knacker the whole switch all together.
