Re: Repairability at reasonable standards and costs
I'm on my first Miele becase of tales like this.
Parents have a Miele washing machine that finally stopped heating the water after about 12 years, my dad still remarks how well built it was, and how easy to fix it was.
A friend used to fit them, he's said more than once he's taken out 20 year old Miele stuff that was perfectly working simply because the owners fancied a new one.
