Just need a dryer that works – Yep same issues as others so won’t bother to repeat. Ours is in air bnb - constant complaints from guests & losing revenue Lady at Miele told me filter needs to be washed at very specific temperature so if you can’t afford a dryer concierge to attend to idiosyncrasies I suggest you purchase another brand. Ours is going on a holiday to the rubbish bin

Miele TDA150C Tumble Dryer - Ongoing Problems – Had this Miele Tumble Dryer for approximately 6 years. Given us issues non stop eg beeping sound after 10 minutes then dryer stops working and needs to be switched off and on again. Works for another 10 minutes and same thing happens again. Had parts replaced; technicians had been out numerous times - as late as last week Thursday - 21 Nov 2024.… Read more

Problem is persisting and another technician is booked in for Thursday 28 Nov 2024. We had an extended warranty on this product, but now it is costing money. Miele prides themselves on a 20 year life span, but this doesn't even get close. Always cleaned filters etc and well maintained by us - Unacceptable. Was there perhaps an issue with this machine - Is that the reason it has been discontinued? - Miele TDA150C - I have just bought a new Miele Washing Machine which is to be delivered on 29 Nov 2024 - Did I make the right decision?

Miele should have recalled it – We were stuck with years of putting up with this dryer randomly beeping as mentioned in every other review because of a low bench height which I’ve finally raised. Will replace it with any brand other than Miele. Show details

I believe this product has a design flaw and Miele should recall it – To save your time reading my complaint. In a short sentence, my review is "DO NOT BUY!" half a year after we had this machine, it stopped working. It keeps complaining, beeping, and showing the error message "clean the airway". I think most people here are complaining about the same issue. The airway is extremely clean. We contacted Miele and… Read more ·  2

they fixed it for us. Charged $250. We then requested a refund. Miele refunded us $250.

Thank God we did not pay for the fix! 3 months later, the old "clean the airway" problem came back. What a waste of time.

Fingers crossed the faulty part that was fixed, stops the error beeping – Update from below review: Miele contacted me regarding my below review and after speaking with a lovely lady called Mandy, she agreed to have our dryer looked at but at Miele's cost, they kindly agreed to waive the service call out fee (normally $179) we had a fantastic technician called Paul come out and service our dryer, he shared some helpful… Read more ·  3

tips regarding our Miele appliances and found a fault with our dryer and replaced the part and the dryer is now working again. Happy to change my review and now provide a 4/5 review based off the fix and amazing customer experience shown to us.

Your technician Paul was highly professional and truly went above and beyond with his customer service towards us. After not having the best experience with our dryer not working correctly, Miele you have done yourselves proud and we are very happy customers again. Paul is an asset to your company and is the definition of what providing customer service is all about. Take a bow and be proud.

Waste of $1200!

Won’t dry clothes properly, when finished a cycle, the clothes would always still feel damp and not dried.

Let’s not forget about the stupid alarm keeps sounding off for no reason - apparently indicative that I must “clean out airways” but I assure you the damn lint filter is clean and does not need to be cleaned out! Why, why, why for the love of god does this stupid dryer do it?. It’s an awful fault with this machine and like everyone else, waiting an hour or more to re turn the dryer back on is a “fix” but a damn inconvenient one, it’s not fit for purpose!

I wish I had read these reviews before purchase or even before the two year standard warranty had passed because this machine has never been fit for purpose but I stupidly trusted the brand “Miele” and that it couldn’t possibly be the dryers fault. Expensive lesson learnt for a young family on a single income :(

We thought by buying a brand new Miele washing machine and getting the matching Miele dryer we would get a set up that would last us quite a number of years - if googled it states Miele pride themselves on “Exceptional quality and durability” but this utter useless dryer would suggest otherwise and has been a headache from the start.

Yesterday the dryer after multiple times of the alarm sounding (And the default code saying “clean out airways” our dryer finally stopped drying altogether.

Seriously dissatisfied with this product and lack of purpose it was meant to serve, it’s lack of durability is horrendous.

We would never purchase a Miele brand anything any more after our terrible experience with this awful dryer.

No idea how you keep your reputation for a quality product, but this product is the worst thing you have ever made.

I want my money back and because I can’t then I will never buy Miele again.

Awesome dryer – Had this about a year now, three loads a week. Works faultlessly every time. Manual is a bit complex but after a couple of readings I get it. Easy to clean. Super dry or slightly damp for Ironing you choose. Big door for easy loading. No condensation in the room. Nearly as fast as my previous normally vented dryer. Turned off the irritating buzz that likes to wake you up if you leave a load in at night.  Show details

Terrible product – We are forever getting the technicians out and even though this costs a fortune, they can only temporarily fix the problem. It keeps getting error codes, beeps all the times, then only works for about 10 minutes. Hopeless product. Show details

Just ok – Regarding the beeping problem which we have also had, I studied the the booklet that came with the machine an under the Programable section I discovered that you can turn the beeping off which I have done and the dryer seems to be working a lot better. Our problem was when it finished the program it would beep and then restart by itself. Very annoying. Show details

Absolute rubbish - could not recommend – Have had dryer for ~5 years of very light use. In that time I’ve spent maybe $600 on repairs for a heating element sensor and one or two other things. Problem now is that less than 6 months after last repair, I am incessantly faced with the ‘clean out airways’ bleeping. Message received loud and clear and I have - you could eat dinner off the… Read more

airways (well, the parts I can reach/access at least). Still, infernal machine will not work for longer than 2 minutes at a time.

I bought a Miele in the first place as they were (meant to be) ‘built to last’ - I am honestly at the point where I buy a new one (from an ‘inferior’ brand) rather than run the gauntlet of another $200 call out fee for no guarantee of result.

In short - steer very well clear. Buy anything but a Miele.

Disappointing reliability and warranty – After 3.5 years of VERY light use (only when rain prevented line drying) it stopped working. Up till then it did what was expected, with the condenser function a great feature in a unit to prevent excessive moisture/humidity. Quote was $650 to replace the power control unit. As the warranty for this very expensive item is only 2 years, replacement… Read more

would be at our cost. This is extremely disappointing as we specified all Miele appliances to our builder when doing a major renovation, notwithstanding the premium cost, based on what we thought was a quality and reliable brand. Cannot recommend as that was not the case - at this pricepoint the product is not worth the outlay given the lack of warranty/support.

Doesn’t stop beeping - do not buy – This dryer constantly beeps and says clean out airways. I clean it out multiple times a week which seems ridiculous. Miele responded to one bad review and fixed some ‘faulty’ parts but that only improved things for a couple of months and now it is back to beeping constantly. Absolute waste of money and not a dryer for a family.  Show details

Because it's Miele doesn't mean its good – We have a Miele TDA 150 tumble dryer. The constant beeping is driving us crazy. Miele has done nothing to sort the problem out. There must be an inherent design fault, but they are not interested in sorting the matter out. Do not touch miele products

Extremely Disappointed With Our Latest Meile Purchase!! – I have been a huge fan of Meile for many years now and sad to say my latest purchase of the TDA150C dryer has left me very frustrated! The constant stopping with the "clean out airways" sign popping up means that I have to be there always to restart the dryer if I want my washing to dry and not sit there damp until I get home!! I have put up… Read more

with this for a while now, but because I will be having guests with a baby staying with us soon, thought I would organise a service call so I rang Meile and booked it in. It was going to cost at least $200 for the callout with no guarantee of fixing! In the meantime, I googled reviews and low and behold was astounded to find that I was not the only one experiencing this problem so I cancelled the service call and instead, I would like to hear from Meile to advise me of what I should do to rectify this problem. For a company that prides itself as being "top of the market" in home appliances, sadly, this one is definitely a fail.

It has sat in my laundry dormant for all this time. My last condenser dryer was amazing...this is total rubbish.

Very, very disappointing – This is my second Miele clothes dryer. I replaced the first because the “clean out airways” buzzer kept coming on, and despite cleaning every bit of fluff I could find, within minutes the buzzer would go off. My daughter-in-law bought the same dryer, and has the same problem. I replaced mine because I couldn’t cope any longer despite Miele sending… Read more

out people to service and “fix” the problem. The second dryer does the same thing. It is necessary to virtually strip the dryer before use, and if you’re lucky, it might work once a day. Might. That’s the end of me and Miele. Don’t buy these products. They are expensive and they simply let your down.

I wrote the above review a couple of months ago, and Miele contacted me. They have been out twice (free of charge) to address the issue, and have replaced parts, again free of charge. Given this dryer is out of warranty, they have been excellent in attempting to sort out the problem. As of today, March 23, 2021, the dryer is working perfectly. Well done, Miele, and 10/10 for service.

So much beeping... clean the airways-- check your soap usage! – The TDA 150 C is the most disappointing appliance I've ever purchased. Everytime we use the dryer it stops with cleaning the airways message. We're fairly diligent about cleaning them out but to no avail. This condensing appliance should be a boat anchor with the water it collects and the ability to dry clothes correctly. Do not recommend purchasing this appliance. Show details

Constant Clean Airways Alarms – This would be a great dryer except for a few critical issues: 1. The clean airways alarm will sound for most loads (this is after having miele service attend and adjust the dryer sensitivity to reduce the frequency of this alarm). This can end up being every 10 minutes for loads of towels/sheets/floor mats. 2. The timed drying setting is limited… Read more

to 30 minutes with no option to extend to 1 hour.

Mechanically there's a lot to like about this dryer but the end result with constant alarms makes it nearly unusable. It was expensive for a dryer in general but it's extremely expensive for a dryer which doesn't work.

A chorus of boos – I won’t elaborate or repeat what’s written below: the clean airways issue is severe and makes the dryer effectively useless and service has been unacceptable - took weeks for a generic email response and then silence for weeks longer.
