Never trust a repair mans new machine reckonings!
Unless he knows Seamus lol! No get a Miele! A Miele machine is far superior to one of those. Commercial yes, built like a domestic Miele- no. There are far too many cowboy traders in the UK Who like to write off good machines needing brushes and basic parts costing little money for new machines of lesser quality (they often like to sell Candy, Hoover and Hotpoint/Indesit and BOL Gorenje all of which are bottom of the league in reliability and build quality) . Too many people are gullible to this in the UK. These cowboys have a hate towards Miele as they like to cash in on peoples Misery when the new machines go wrong even though they recommended them in the first place. Also the fact he is recommended a machine off ebay says a bit too. He suspects he might be out to see it soon, costing you more money. Save money in the long run and have quality. Immer Besser! Rob

Re: The Offer I know this is a Whirpool washer, but this looks like my Sears Elite H4 washer. Are Sears and Whirpool appliances mfg. by the same company? | ||

thats my point
Steve, any reason why you dont recommend Zanussi machines which are far superior to Hoover/Candy/Indesit (if you do its not clear from previous posts from you. BOL Essentials 1200 is around £220. Again most repair men try to put people off Lux machines. Because they know they wont be out to them soon. I agree Miele may not be to everyones budget but its clear from the rubbish I often hear from repair guys about parts being expensive to replace when the reality is they rarely go wrong in the first place. Local repair guy goes on about how good LG are. Fact is ours might be quiet and the motor seems to be holding up well but the electronics are messed up not to mention they clean and rinse very poorly. Same guy who refused to replace the brushes in our Hoover Quattro and tried to sell us a Hoover 6! I also disagree bout not replacing a new part in case something else goes wrong. That set of £4 cost brushes with an honest £30 labour charge I believe is better for giving the customer a chance to get the cash together for a new machine with honest mention that there is on guarantee the brushes will last, im basing my experience on the fact I replaced them on my old Hotpoint WM12 A year ago and they took a pounding before I came back home. The machine is still going strong now. So in that case my friend has had 12 months to save for that Miele. Nino can you clarify if that whirlpool is the actual one you are interested in 2nd hand or will be buying new? If your buying new, cost for cost they should be comparable to a new Miele. In which case you know which answer id take. Rob

whoa!
I was simply stating that the repair guy in question sounded like those I consider cowboys in the UK. Read my orig post first! Im entitled to my opinion and will make it thankyou! All I have had is unreliable appliances over the part 7 years. My parents earn cash the hard way and are entitled to quality. Quality they have clearly not had. So if there are what I consider to be better machines for the same money I will put my thoughts forward. As this thread was about from its creator!

Rob I don't sell Zanussi or Lux machines because I don't like them. I can't sell something I dislike. Secondly The Hoover Candy models I sell are built locally here in Wales and people like that. Steve | ||

Electrolux Group Machines.......
Are IMO just about the best value for the money.... Steve- Surely made and assembled from Italian kits isnt quite the same thing?- also as you know the Visions are totally Italian :( , although I can see what you are saying about the local thing. This on the other hand was MADE in Merthyr..... Seamus CLICK HERE TO GO TO seamusuk's LINK | ||

I don't sell the Visions or the Grando's only the Uk built ones ie the Smart range. Doesn't really matter where the parts are from, we support local factories where we can and Hoover is very important here in wales. Steve | ||

Okay, Thanks! The first helpfull replie :) But the price of 1900 Euro ( more than 2000 $ ) is simply shocking. Do I really need a commercial washer for 14 loads a week? BTW: The repairman is a good friend of mine and is also a washer-freak^^ | ||

Nino,
I have lived in Munich since 1983. I sold new and used washers in the late 80's, early 90's. Whirlpool in Germany made a lot of very bad mistakes when they first came on the market. My one experience with them was very bad. My former boss - who sells about 30 machines/week in Munich, refuses to sell Whirlpool or Bauknecht. I have only had good experiences with Miele service. The commercial LGs sold in Germany have a good reputation in the trade, too. Nothing from AEG, Siemens-Bosch-Constructa or the Italian groups will hold up under that load. I really wish some of the UK members wrote as pleasantly as the Americans, Canadians and folks from Down Under do... (Ich habe auf Englisch geschreiben, weil so viele hier Deutsch nicht können. Wenn ich Dir eine Frage spezifischer beantworten kann, bitte sehr!) | ||

Panthera, Nice to meet a German in here. In Germany there are also some forums about washing-machines, didn´t you know? Maybe you´re already signed-in in such a forum, but I think that not. I would know ,if yes ;) | ||
