I bought this to replace my 18 year old Miele. I like the big drum and the larger door but the door, annoyingly, doesn’t open completely, making it really awkward to unload, unlike my old one. The powder drawer doesn’t feel substantial. There is some noise on spinning. I’m doubtful this will last as long as the old one. The cotton washes take 3 or 4 hours… who has time for that?? I can see the quick/power wash being the only cycle I use and even that is almost an hour! A regretful choice and whilst I’d always recommend Miele I wouldn’t say this is the pick of the bunch.
