great choice! I had intended buying an Aqualtis from John Lewis as I thought Hubby would never go for spending extra and getting a Miele. He totally suprised me when we were in John Lewis saying we should spend extra and get something that was going to last. After reading about some troubles people have had with the Aqualtis I am glad I chose my Miele. I know some people aren't fans of Miele, that's fine, some die hard Miele fans dislike the W1000 range but I love mine. Looking back I do wish I'd have spent a bit more and got a machine with the commercial silent motor as the spin can be a bit noisy ( not excessive though ) on my machine, although I do think if we didn't have wooden floors the machine would appear to be quieter on spin. We also have open plan so sound does tend to bounce around! I did get a great deal in John Lewis though, my machine was £649, a steal for a machine that will last. You will be amazed at how much you can fit in your new machine and still get great results! It did take me a while to try all the programs and determine which suited different loads the best. You will also love how quick ( compared to the Aqualtis ) the wash times are without sacrificing wash performance. Anyway....I am waffling now....congrats again Tom and look forward to hearing your opinions.

I almost always use the "short" option on all washes. Cottons short, depending on load size can be between 59mins and 125mins on a 60deg wash and removes stubborn stains from tea towels with no problem. I have only used a long wash on exceptionally dirty stuff, even then the program usually runs at less than 2hrs. I agree that a Miele with a 2yr warranty is a bit of a joke for the price, especially when you can get an AEG made John Lewis machine much cheaper with the same warranty.

Yea, mine is a 6kg machine. I would love to have a look at the Miele 7kg drum, but J/L in Edinburgh never have the machines plugged in so you can't open the door. The drum on mine still seems cavernous compared to our old Hotpoint WD440 and am always suprised how much laundry I can actually comfortably fit in.
I wholeheartedly agree that Miele should offer a minimum of 5yrs parts and labour. |
