its been on twice today once with a heavy load of towels and it is still working fine but the noise of the motor is begining to get annoying. im sure a miele would cope better with our washing requirments but i would never spend that rediculous amount of money on a washing machine, when it is time for it to be replaced il get the successsor to the model we have either that or a samsung ecobubble.

Please leave Korean machines in Korea ;) Samsung are terrible and have very low reliability, plus spares horrendously expensive! | ||

@glenfieldmathk1, i dissagree with your comment, our miele (and most of my machines) have/are on for more than 3 washes and ive experienced no trouble, and the miele is showing no signs of wear from it (nor has my whirlpool or candy) | ||

I beg not to differ...
SeamusUK... that's not always the case. Sometimes you might be lucky enough to go for a cheap/popular brand and still get the benefits you mentioned above... my Hoover is the living example!
It had above average use throughout its life and I've enjoyed 8 years repair bills free witn no annual cover/fees (although Hoover kept pestering me for a while). All it cost me was 300 quid including delivery (well... that was perhaps a currys' special offer at the time) and it only had 1 year labour and 5 years parts guarantee which was never needed anyway. The moral... If I look at your situation and evaluate my experience... £850.00 does suddenly seem expensive to me. | ||

Still I can't believe how a family of 4 can generate from 15 to 24 kg of laundry per day! | ||

@ dj-gabriele (...a family of 4 can generate from 15 to 24 k
It's not necessarily that! There are only 2 of us in my house and our washer is on everyday plus 4/5 times during the weekend. Do not assume that everytime the washer is started is going at its full capacity... that's why in the last decade or so machines have been equipped with fuzzy logic system. I know that one's saving even more by filling the washer to capacity but this is not always possible depending on someone's way of life and priorities.
Still, 'ariston4life', I feel that the sinking drum is not a serious enough issue for dismissing this machine... unless it's causing some other problems indirectly, like, the machine bangs or thumps cos' the shock absorbers are exhausted. Besides, this machine is so new! | ||

Yes a family of 4 could even generate 14-to 24kg per day,....it depends from family to family, life, job etc...one just can't judge basing on his own life, everyone's life is different...
Normal sunk from the time looks to me, if there is a sunk is a very little one I'd say.....actually older models of Candy washers' drums were way more "sunk" just by going out the factory and pulling out transport bolts the drum would have sink way mooooore.... Know this by installing some candys in my town, installing machines is a "job" I used to do when I was a kid so 12 to 14 years old to get some tips, as for helper and lackeys for old ladies in the shopping, and also for all the typical chores as window cleaning etc and also jobs as painting, lawn grass cut etc..... Aunt bought an Hotpoint too for sea house and it have the drum got that "sunk" just by using 3 months a year and it is one year old with this summer....she runs 4-5 washing a day, she has to "wash" in a 5 kg machine 10-12 beach towels a day so 5-6 towels from the morning beach time and same amount for the evening beach time, daily clothes change beach clothes for 5, and daily change for the 3 older cousins's "night-life" clothes, they goes to disco and get clothes sweated,once every 2 days change for the "less-eventful/static night-life's" clothes for the left family members sometimes even once a day for them as well, bed sheets once a week divided in 2 days of the week, and all every other things....all for a family of 5.
