Miele is indeed quite expensive, between both my washer and my heat pump dryer I think I spent somewhere right around 3,100. But I talked to a lot of Appliance technicians some I know and some I just randomly called up and the general consensus I got was yes they are expensive but they are going to last they don’t use cheap parts and even if it does break down 10 years from now it’s guaranteed I can still get the parts I need if I don’t want to replace it because they are still making parts for products they discontinued 10 years ago

Whereas personally I wouldn’t trust a Samsung device to stay working anything past 3 years and once it does break down I know for a fact it’s going to cost more to fix it than it would to replace it if I even can get the parts from them

I ended up buying one of their vacuum cleaners as well because they seem to be one of the few people still making good canister vacuums and while that was about 1,200 it’s easily the best vacuum I’ve ever had. It’s shockingly quiet and yet has stronger suction than any other vacuum I’ve ever owned. I’m pretty mean to it, I’m currently living in an RV so it gets quite dirty, I use it to clean out my car regularly, and I own a husky so it sees plenty of Pet fur and it has yet to give a shit a year and a half in still practically looks like it’s new
