Miele appliances

16 years ago

I was all set for a new kitchen to buy Bosch for an oven, microwave and warming drawer. However, seeing multiple posts about horrible customer support, I'm looking for an alternative. I don't see a single post about Miele. Any thoughts/experience with Miele appliances? I know their dishwashers and vacuum cleaners are supposed to be very good.

Thanks.

    Oops. I guess I don't see anything about Miele because the search functions isn't working properly today...! Still, feedback on Miele for these? ...thanks!

    Hopefully the search function is fixed soon---yep even the search at the bottom turns up Zero Miele ovens etc.
    Recalling the post I have read, virtually everybody likes the Miele induction cooktop that has bought one, and except for 1 case, everybody likes their dishwashers.
    Most seem to like their ovens, about 3 as I recall found that their temps were reading lower than what the oven was set to---however Miele says you can't measure em that way, and it fact, one oven that appeared to read low, an IR temp probe was aimed at the oven and it appeared to be right on????-bit strange as the wolf seems to read correctly with a more conventional type Thermometer. Haven't really seen any "Baking complaints" however.
    Everybody Here that has their speed ovens has positive things to report.
    We just don't see enough post on their Fridges to give you an idea of what folks think of them.
    I have the Miele Optima DW (5 Years), I'm happy with that.
    For Ovens, I really liked the Elux Icons, the fully gliding out shelves,the wavetouch controls, the big glass on the door. It is probably a little more than half the price of the Miele but that did not enter into my decision as to what to buy. Most Reports on the Elux ovens are positive, the way it bakes, temp accuracy as well as what I mentioned, but I'm sure the folks that have the Miele Ovens are just as happy, cept for the thing I mentioned above.
    Hope the search is fixed soon, but I suspect some of our Miele folks will "Chime in Here".
    Good Luck with your decisions!

    I have the miele masterchef self cleaning double wall ovens, miele hood, excella dw, and fridge/freezer columns. what do you want to know? Hopefully the search function will be up soon as there are tons of posts on each of these appliances. I had a lot of problems with the ovens initially requiring several service calls; they are working well now. No problems whatsoever with the DW and would buy again in a nanosecond. I love the freezer and fridge, but did have several service calls right off the bat with them both. Miele service was great once I was able to get through the gatekeeper on the phone. I definitly have had a wide range of responsiveness with the miele phone gate keeper. the service tech that miele sends is very knowledgeable but you don't get same day service.
