Is LG a service nightmare on your side of the pond as it is here? They do have their appeal, however. |

I have the LG wm12220fd which is 7.5k with 1200spin, 3 years old. no faults really good performance, washing, rinsing and spinning wise. Eco an all, to go with nowadays eco friendly schemes, but uses good amount of water. BTW- it washed better (LG Steam) than gorenje 2000rpm washer and indesit moon, on gadget show. |

It all depends who you have for service. I had very quick service on my LG washer. However....too many serice calls in the 5 years I have it. |

Having just read your profile and how much you like Miele and read your comment that 'you pay for what you get', I am stunned that you want to get rid of machines that are going so well and which there is nothing wrong with. Given the economic circumstances at the moment and the fact you have some great, top brand appliances, I would be thinking of other ways to spend the approx GBP600 plus that this machine could cost you. Have a look at ebay.com.au - it is littered with LG machines (and along with Ariston appear to be the most sold of the newer machines - not a good look) Don't be fooled by appearance and 'bling' though I am not saying it isn't a good machine....BUT There are reasons Miele are so highly regarded. The 500 model that you have is one of the most solid, reliable and economical performers that has been made in the last 20years. It has ALWAYS rated highly in both Which? and Choice (Australia) tests. The last of the basic Mieles with the traditional doors were built to LAST and it would be a shame to update for a brand where the customer satisfaction ratings are not even in the same league let alone the long term reliability prospects. Still it is your money and to quote you 'you pay for what you get' |

My machine still performs like the day it arrived... I just fancied something different to play around with and at the mo I don’t have storage till I move in a few months, the miele machines I’ve got are fantastic and I do have to agree that the mieles with the solid doors was the last few to be built to last. I’m not fond of the new doors on the new miele’s, i looked at the Panasonic machine today as well, interesting ideas behind that as well. It’s just some thoughts at the end of the day.. The miele's have had some hammer over the past 5 years of having them and probably still be standing and washing for me in another 15 years...

Hi :-) Personally I wouldnt get rid of your Miele over an LG, after having machines from different brands, and now Miele its clear that alot more engineering and thought goes into the design of their machines so they run much more smoothly and of course last longer because of what their made out of. The LG Steam washer looks a nice machine, but I do find with brands like these that they focus more on looks than the actual engineering that goes into their machines ( No offence to anyone who has one :-). The weight difference in the two machines speaks alot for itself I think too, your Miele which has a 5kg drum weighs alot more than the LG which is supposed to be almost double the size with the 9kg drum. But whatever you choose to do I hope it works out well, but I do think its best to hang on to the Miele :-) Just thought id have my input there LOL :-) Richard |
