      In my experience, much better than Siemens/Bosch.

      Unlike those, Miele doesn’t seem to have entry-level-priced equipment that just sucks in term of quality.

        Nothing wrong with both Siemens or Bosch (or Miele). But Miele’s do break down too. My friend’s recent Miele Twindos washingmachine’s sensor died after only 2 years just outside guarantee, seems to be a fairly common problem with twindos machines. Expensive to repair too. 1400 Euro washing machine.

        We have a Siemens iq500 dishwasher, an iq300 washing machine and dryer that run reliable for over 10 years. 3 appliances for about the same price as my friends Miele.

        Also you get what you pay for and a lot of consumers can’t afford 1400 euro for a washing machine anyway or pay for the expensive repairs. So comparing entry level with top tier hardware on suckability seems quite odd.

      We bought a bag less vacuum 4 years ago. The turbo brush for pet hair stats showing some wear but the whole thing works solid to this day. Even the flimsy feeling handle is still fine Edit: EU - Germany
