I agree, and my experience supports the longevity of Miele products. Of course I could be lucky with Miele, or unlucky with the others. If (and when) we need to replace the Miele, I don’t think we would consider anything other than a Miele.
our washing machine history is:
Indesit: came with house lasted two years before economically beyond repair
Electrolux: bought new lasted 4 years
Bosch: bought new lasted 6 years
Miele: bought new lasted 8 years so far looks brand new still.
Similar with dishwashers, our Miele been going strong for about 10 years. Before that the Bosch lasted about 5 years.
