Sorry to contradict you Glenfieldmath but I used to use a 1600 rpm machine so knew they did them.

I`m still perspiring!!
Mieles customer base has generally been people with lots of disposable income who dont need to worry about money, most of the appliances sold would have been middle to top end models, sold with kitchens and new kitchen installations..... The last 10 yrs has seen that changed, the largerer % of models now being sold are entry level machines, to Miele the lower end of their price list. Dave - Like Tom suggests, the members here have made informed choices, to make statements like that in capitals is rather churlish.... "Is Miele more Superior than V-Zug, the price may suggest that!! |

If Miele is adopting an LG technology like DD, they must be very confident in it. Considering how long the warranty is on the motor on LG machines, it must be an absolutely rock solid technology. |

As Qaulin says "it must be an absolutely rock solid technology" well it is, in 1969 the Matsushita corperation (Panasonic/Technics) introduced the worlds first DC servo controlled brushless direct drive hi-fi turntable, the motors that LG are producing are based on exactly the same principles, lift the platter off a Technics/Panasonic SP-10/SL110/SL120 etc and you will see the simularity between the motors. There is nothing wrong with this approach as it is already well proven but the way LG have gone about it implying that it is the latest technology and unless your machine is direct drive it is old hat is a bit of a joke. I am sure that if Miele are going to produce a direct drive machine it will surpass the LG machines in every way. Gary Gary |

What an awful and misleading presentation of LG's direct drive motor, notice on the showing of the belt driven drum the drum is rocking around with some sound affects, then the DD motor is shown as not rocking about, from this i presume then the belt driven demo was made with a drum full of clothes and the DD driven drum empty, because to imply that the DD design does not move about when loaded with clothes is absolute bollox.
Oh and of course its all done with CGI to remove any hint of reality, nore cheap marketing tricks for a cheap machine |

Now that would be something interesting!
We have an LG F1479FDS5 and there are 2 LG F1479FDS6's in the family too. We all can't fault these washing machines. Very quiet, quieter than the old LG direct drive WM12220FD and many other machines with inverter motors that we've heard. LG washing machines shower the clothes where as Zanussi's have a flow of water, I find the shower very effective, especially in dissolving detergent. If Miele do use the direct drive technology in the future I would love to see what they come up with. Time will tell... Happy washing people :) |

Reminds one of those same offers on tubs of washing machines and dishwashers. The catch was sure the company backed the tub, but more likely than not that would be the last thing to go anyway. One could spend a small fortune over the years on other repairs long before the tub itself rusted out or otherwise invoked that warranty.

To understand Mielelust one must also understand the cult of German engineering which makes all manner and sorts of products out of that country highly sought.
It also helps to understand the German culture for they are as a nation known as one of the most thrifty in Europe. When it comes to consumer goods this often translates into demanding high levels of quality. If a German household is going to shell out money for a washing machine you better believe the thing is going to not only do the intended job, but last a very long time.

At least according to "Which?" consumer magazine Miele is beaten in terms of reliability by LG, Hotpoint, Hoover, John Lewis and a host of others.

The table listed is in Alphabetical order, Miele would most certainly not be beaten for reliability by hoover Hotpoint Beko and others....Miele is often the "Which best Buy"
"Nothing Snobbish About Miele" - Then we need to sack the marketing department, because that how they have made such an impression on the rest of the world - The Brand Stands Alone and Stands Apart - the only headache that Miele will continue to have is "How to Increase Their Sales of Higher Ticket Machines, instead of their core market being the cheapest machines on their price list!! And once a prestige brand becomes the NORM, then consumers with attitude start to look elswhere and "Create The Next Miele"....One Wonders What That Will Be? |

How could Bosch and Siemens have such radically different ratings on that table. They are the same BSH machines under two brands :D |
