Re: W3922 vs ISE10

Does the ‘equivalent’ Asko unit have anything that the ISE10 doesn’t?
And there is no difference in quality between the two machines are there?
I’ll be cancelling the Miele order tomorrow to give me more deciding time.
Our current machine still washes so I can spare the time. Could, in theory, abandon the whole search and just buy a new motor 😉

Ken, hypothetically, if I was to place an order tomorrow then how soon could I expect to receive it?

Re: W3922 vs ISE10

A video – go for it! The missus wants a picture of it closed. 😯

What else can I ask for????? *strokes chin*

Re: W3922 vs ISE10

Finally, I can see the picture. They look good, thanks Gary. Pictures of exactly the points of interest. Do I remember reading a comment about the tub door not opening fully as it is impeded by the drop down door hinge?
Also, a bit worried about the lcd… has the digit really dropped through photography or is it faulty? If the former then that’s odd.

Re: W3922 vs ISE10

Gary, ignore that last post about the pictures – i’m experimenting with content blocking an it has taken out photobucket.com. Should be fixed in a couple of mins.
Ken, I know exactly what you mean – I work for Miller Brothers and when I mentioned buying a washing machine I had most trying to push me down the Miele router (and trying to flog me *staff* extended warranty too – several short slaps later they stopped 😉 ), perhaps not wrongly but maybe just misguided – they too go on their courses and are spoonfed with all they need to be able to sell sell sell. I’ve still not ruled the Miele out, I’m just glad i’ve been given other options to take into consideration.
Both do seem great machines, and hopefully if the Rotherham ‘dealer’ is agreeable and having seen the unit i’ll be looking to buy. Isn’t it exciting 😉

Re: W3922 vs ISE10

Gary, Thanks for taking the time and effort to get those pictures for me, problem is that I cannot see them, nor see any links to their location.
I’ve read most your posts from when you were buying – seems if I’d have read them first I wouldn’t have mirrored your questions and given Ken and Adam chance of a verbal scuffle 😉

Ken, do you know of the dealer for ISE in Rotherham? Has he sold many around this area?

Thanks
Matt

As an aside the price of a rubber door seal for one model of Miele washer dryer was until recently around £245.00 😯

Here is a picture of matching ISE 10’s I installed about six months ago.

The customer bought the £650 dryer first, liked it so much that after a week she ordered the washer to match and gave her 2 year old Hotpoint to her daughter. She thinks the machines are brilliant.

Thanks for that Jim. When I said ‘door/seal’ I didn’t actually mean door seal a such, just where the door seals to the tub.
I’ve emailed a chap who is mentioned in the ‘Where to buy’ section for Yorkshire on the ISE website. I’m hoping he be able to let me view one, but i’m not sure if he is a retailer or servicing.

Re: W3922 vs ISE10

I’d certainly like to hear any comments from those Miele agents you aluded to.
I had a mail back from Miele’s customer support and it seems they are unable to lay their hands on the information they said they would get for me. So, in short, I can’t compare their failure rate with yours.
Would anybody be able to post any pictures (besides the ones in the brochures) of their ISE10 – with particular attention to the door/seal and the controls. Not being able to see the unit in the flesh makes buying an awkward proposition – I like to see them first, that way you get a better feel for the quality. Photos, if somebody can oblige, would be the next best thing.

Also, the question I asked about it’s noise level – is it quiet?
I had a Whirlpool AWM8163 (well, still have but the motor cuts out at spin now – F11 error – told it needs replacing) and up until fairly recently it has always been very quiet indeed.

Thanks all.

Re: W3922 vs ISE10

I’ve just checked Asko’s site and there are a good few machines that look almost identical to the ISE.

Now, don’t shoot me down here, but i’ve also been through a couple of dozen reviews on Asko machines and they seem very hit and miss. Now, I know that people usually only speak when something goes wrong but I just want to see some positive customer reviews of this ISE machine. I really want to have something concrete so I can say ‘Yes! I really do want that one!!’ Really struggling to find anything on the ISE model.

The Miele machine I have ordered and that I am in two minds whether to cancel is one of their higher end units (I think). Does anyone have any opinions on this exact model – W3922WPS? reevoo and other independent reviews seem to suggest it’s a very good model.
This would all be made easier if I had similar reviews for the ISE machine.

Can you tell i’m wanting an excuse to buy it??? 😉

How quiet are they? Is the porthole door surround plastic? It looks it on the picture I have in front of me.

Does anyone know how ISE’s sales are going? And what their sales to fault ratio is? Miele have said they will dig that data out for me for the W3922. Should give me a clue how reliable each are.

Re: W3922 vs ISE10

I bought the Miele based on reviews and recommendations from my colleagues who in some cases have had Miele for over 30 years with little or no problems.
However, I am wondering if I have made the right decision.
Is there anyway to actually get to look at one of these machines before buying? Apparently they aren’t available in shops only via this site and service engineers. I also haven’t been able to find many pictures of the unit so far other than pictures taken from their site – nor many totally impartial end-user reviews.

Also, when it comes to spares being far cheaper than Miele – is there anywhere online that I can see a list of spares and their prices for the ISE10?

Sorry to seem like I don’t know whether i’m coming or going – it’s just a lot of money for me to be spending on a washing machine. I just want to sure i’m doing the right thing for when the warranty has expired. Miele (from what i’ve heard and read) usually do last well beyond the 10year warranty i’ve got, but as ISE are relatively new then how do we know that they will last? I’m not trying to provoke extreme ISE or Miele supporters, just trying to establish the facts.
Thanks again for your help.

Re: W3922 vs ISE10

Wow, a pretty comprehensive reply. Where was you when I was choosing a girlfriend! Could have saved me some bad choices 😉

I’ve ordered the Miele – got it from Dixons for £848 with delivery and installation included. I work in IT for an electrical retailer and our staff price never even came close!

Have I made the right choice?? This is gonna trouble me for a while 😕 That said, it has a 10year warranty so i’ll try and forget about it until that has expired.

Thanks
Matt.
