But I'd be leery of purchasing anything sight unseen unless you are committed for the long haul.
Purchased both my Miele washer and latest AEG set sight unseen (eBay) and was willing therefore to take my chances. Sellers indicated at least the things were working "last time used" but on both occasions units arrived needing several hundreds in investment before that was true. Problem is Miele is a captive market for parts and perhaps service. If you feel you can do any work that will take some of the edge off, but Miele spare parts are dear, and there is only one source, MieleUSA. If you are savvy parts can be found from overseas but that is a whole other ball of wax. Those Miele units are from the 1990's the last built like tanks/old school units. Today's Miele laundry appliances are still very well made, but you'll notice a difference. Spending <$1000 all together for a Miele W&D set is a good deal. The washer alone cost nearly $2000 when new back in the day. If Miele is doing the installation they will check both units to see if anything is wrong. |

All of the contingencies of the purchase aside, you would love the machine. I love mine. |
