Then in week 2, The Candy was the next to go for the same reasons as the Indesit. | ||

reamaining: AEG Beko Bosch Electrolux Haier Hoover Hotpoint John Lewis Maytag Miele Siemens Smeg Whirlpool Zanussi My bet for the next week is Siemens... And the winner probably will be some of The Electrolux Group's brand. | ||

In week 3, The Hotpoint was the next to go, again due to poor brand quality and reliability. It did however score on style but didn't excel elsewhere. | ||

Hmm, I didn't think that Electrolux's dishwashers were that good, certainly not as good as Siemens or anything from the BSH group. Tom. | ||

Smeg @ rolls_rapide: Can you tell me more about the problems that Smeg DW have? You can send me an E-Mail if you want. I'm thinking about buying one, but your post unsettled me... | ||

In week 4, The Beko was the next to go. Although it's slightly better than the Indesit and Candy, the models were a little too basic for my liking and it was no longer good enough to carry on in the competition. | ||

Then in week 5, The Hoover was the next to go. Over doubts of whether it will be as reliable as the current one. Candy underpinnings don't help much either. | ||

In week 6, The Whirlpool was the next to go. Due to average quality and reliability as well as not having something good or special to offer. | ||

In week 7, 2 brands were fired instead of the usual 1. The first to go was the Zanussi for having average quality and reliability and also not being the upmarket, innovative brand they once were in the 80's and 90's. | ||

Also in week 7, The Maytag was the next to go. Although they produce some good looking machines thanks to Asko underpinnings, there isn't much point in owning 1 now. Especially in this crucial stage of the competition. | ||

In week 9, The Haier was the next to go. Although it has plenty of features, there are doubts over quality and reliability. It should of been fired long ago. | ||

In week 11, It was the final interviews and the John Lewis was the next to go. Although it looks classy and has plenty of features, the styling of it is just too plain for my liking and it will date quickly. | ||

In week 12, it was the final. Of the 4 remaining candidates, only 1 will become The Apprentice. Now, I'm going to put them out of their misery. In 4th place and the next to go is the AEG. Good but not quite good enough. | ||

The next to go and in 3rd place is the Bosch. A superb and capable machine but it's not really for me. | ||

Bosch and Siemens are the same inside
So you might want to explore all the options before rejecting one or the other. Just a thought - I've had Mieles since the early 1980's (actually, only two. My current one and the first one which the idiot movers dropped down the stairs whilst I was moving house. Only 17 years old, for a Miele practically new). One thing to note: Several UK folks have had trouble getting info. from the UK B/S/H group...whereas Miele and AEG seem to have decent service in the UK. Not that Miele will ever need it. I wouldn't place too much value on the German consumer tests; they tend to set some very strange priorities - my Miele tested quite a bit higher than far more expensive ones the year I bought mine; the guide book for mine was printed on recycled paper and the more expensive models were still using bleached paper. Made an entire one-half point difference on a six point scale! But B/S/H are quieter... | ||

In 2nd place and the runner-up is the Siemens. A nice machine with loads of great innovative features but it's not quite what I'm looking for. | ||

In 1st place and the winner of AW's The Apprentice is... The Miele. The best quality, the best reliability, the best features and it's practically perfect in every way. So, I'm finally going to say this... The Miele...You're Hired! | ||

The chosen model of Miele is the flagship of the range. The G1833SC. Simply The Best!
