Best Miele Washing Machines

Miele resolved the issue very quickly, and its service was excellent. Miele truly lives up to its reputation as a high-end brand that customers can trust. Show details

Washes well enough but the end of cycle buzzer won't stop for probably 15 to 20 mins or until you open the door. This model you can't change the… Read more

buzzer duration. Recently had to replace our dryer. I would have bought a Miele but I wasn't going to risk having 2 machines that buzz continuously. So Miele, you lost a sale due to this absolutely ridiculous feature. I expected better.

Terrible. Incredibly inflexible and not user friendly. Without doubt the worst appliance that I own. You cannot choose to change the spin speed. If you select the wrong cycle you need to unplug the machine and wait for it to forget what you told it! Show details

Five years ago, I purchased a Miele washing machine and dryer through Harvey Norman. Given Miele’s reputation as a premium and expensive brand, I… Read more

chose these appliances believing I was investing in products that would provide many years of reliable service. Unfortunately, my experience has been very disappointing. I have experienced several relatively minor electronic problems with both appliances. More significantly, the dryer developed a fault shortly after the warranty expired, and the problem could not be repaired. The machine was replaced. I was extremely lucky and grateful that an excellent Miele technician (Independent) – arranged for the machine to be replaced, and that Miele agreed to do so even though it was slightly outside the warranty period. Now, unfortunately, I am experiencing another serious problem. The washing machine will not turn off. Once the cycle has finished, I switch the machine off, but it immediately turns itself back on again, with the lights illuminated. What makes this situation even more frustrating is the cost of obtaining service. calling a Miele technician to attend is extremely expensive. For a premium appliance that has already experienced several electronic problems, I find these service costs very difficult to justify and, frankly, excessive. I purchased Miele because I believed I was paying for superior quality, reliability and longevity. Instead, after only five years, I have experienced repeated electronic issues and now face another potentially costly repair. This is particularly disappointing when other, considerably less expensive brands I have owned in the past, such as Fisher & Paykel, provided many years of reliable service. At this stage, I feel that the premium price I paid for these appliances has not been reflected in their reliability or in the overall ownership experience.

Disappointed. For the price and name my previous Samsung was a better machine. I’ve had the Miele for under 2 yrs and has grown mould in the plastic… Read more

part of the drum (this never happened with my Samsung). Before the 1st year there was an issue and I contacted customer service (that they are supposed to be excellent at) the next appointment available was two weeks away. The machine was under warranty still but there could have been extra charges. I resolved the issue and was able to cancel the appointment. The washing programs are extremely long. Or way too short. The wifi setting was supposed to offer additional programs - but that hasn’t been the case. I had a Miele dryer and loved it so thought the washing machine was going to be the same but I was sadly disappointed.

The machine itself washes really well; it's the drying that's the problem. If you're a single person like myself, and try to do a wash/drying cycle,… Read more

the machine won't accept small loads, and clothes come out very damp. It comes up with an error code - too small load. This is my week's worth of laundry. I've tried many different cycles / settings, even had a Miele technician come to check it. My clothes aren't heavy or voluminous enough to trigger the sensors on the door apparently. Miele advertise this machine as great for daily use. Considering that its an 8 kg washing machine but can only dry 4 kg (so if you're doing a large load, you have to halve your load to dry it) - it seems odd it can't do my 3 kg of drying after washing it. This was a big expense and now I have to buy a separate dryer. Very unhappy. UPDATE: After discussions with Miele and using the Delicates (1 kg max) or Woollen (2 kg max) Cycle for drying for my small loads as a single person; or using the Warm Air cycle - none gave me anything but damp clothes after the wash. I weighed and tried a 1 kg load and a 2 kg load with no success. Even adding towels into the load to bulk up the volume made no difference. It's been a waste of my time and money. As a disabled person who saw this as a terrific help, it's been nothing but a hindrance. This machine should be sold as family-sized only load washing machine (and remember it's an 8 kg wash and 4 kg dry machine, so if you wash large loads, you'll have to do separate cycles to cut the load in half for drying; or just do 4 kg loads.

Purchased the washing machine on 2 June 2026, Miele delivered and installed the machine on 3 June 2026. All worked well until 7 July 2026, the… Read more

machine won’t drain. We have followed all the instructions regarding cleaning filters and checking the hose and our plumbing for possible blockages. Everything checked out ok so we booked a warranty service call, the earliest date confirmed is 27 July 2026. No one at Miele Experience Centre told us we would have to either buy an additional 3 weeks of clothes, continue wearing dirty clothes or go to a Laundromat (ugh!) after 1 month. Miele need to be more responsive to service issues or risk losing loyal customers.

**UPDATE- Miele responded promptly to the review and after discussing the issue offered to swap our faulty machine over for a new machine. This was a much faster response than their standard service. The new machine was delivered and installed 14 July 2026. The only negative I can see in dealing with Miele is that you have to resort to writing reviews to get a more reasonable outcome.
