[/color]My hobby design blog: http://aviewondesign.blogspot.com/ Re: Miele products 8Jan 13, 2010 3:50 pm We've got the Miele oven, steam oven, induction cooktop, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. We like them all, but in particular the steam oven and the induction have really changed the way we cook. Leftover vegetables taste just as good three days later reheated in the steamer and induction is a very precise way of cooking. They do take a bit to get used to but the manual is pretty good and we would like to take advantage of a Miele sponsored cooking class when our local dealer is up and running with their Miele showroom. Cheers, Re: Miele products 9Jan 13, 2010 10:26 pm Great - an 'easy' coffee machine is just what I need. I am also looking at purchasing a gas cooktop, but have discovered 'induction'. Unfortunately for me, they don't have Miele classes up here (Top End) so I miss out on any hands on training by the pro's, but has anyone had any problems with the induction cook tops?? Also looking at getting a microwave, dishwasher and oven. How do you find the warranty side of things with Miele? Good Luck with 4May! It is my favourite day of the year!! Re: Miele products 10Jan 17, 2010 3:04 pm Miele is undoubtedly very good, but so is Bosch, another very respected German brand. However Bosch doesn't skirt around the law, so you can get discounted Bosch equipment. I've also been looking at induction, and the Bosch has the advantage of 17 heat settings, not just the 9 of Miele, therefore there is more fine control of temperature with Bosch.

Re: Miele products 12Jan 18, 2010 12:18 pm We have a Miele dishwasher. It's great, we've had no problems and the dishes are always clean!! But...I do wonder whether the extra $$ for the Miele brand is worth it I don't think I'll buy Miele in our next house for this reason - I think I can do better things with the cash. Building on an acre in Macedon ......one day. Re: Miele products 14Jan 19, 2010 5:16 pm We have a washing machine, and on order a dishwasher and coffee machine for our new place. Hopefully also the microwave in the not to distant future The inbuilt coffee machine we have purchased is $4000, so i need to drink 2 cups a day for 2yrs to pay for it parents have a dishwasher and its sensational. personally i would kit my whole house in Miele if i could afford it.I think the extra cash in build quality and performance is worth it. Bosch i personally dont think cut it anymore - no doubt they did 10 yrs ago and they are still a good brand but not in the same league as miele In regards to miele and there pricing strategy, i agree its a pain in the a$$ but no different to apple, oakley and others Re: Miele products 15Jan 19, 2010 6:25 pm I would love to get a Miele dishwasher for my new house. My friend has one and it's sooo sooo quite. Will have to look when we are about to move in ...see if there are any sales then.

We are building our home and putting in the induction stove top, built in coffee machine, oven, microwave and semi-integ dishwasher. Was a bit skeptical about spending so much $$ on the products, but am now convinced its the right way to go for me. Just wish they had the classes here in the Top End to show you how to properly use the products, especially the coffee machine and induction stove top. I did hear that you have to purchase specially made cookware for the Ind. stove. Does anyone here use the cookware and is it readily available to purchase from most stores, and easy to clean?? LnM Re: Miele products 17Jan 20, 2010 10:43 pm I believe Miele gives you a set of stainless steel pots & pans at the moment with their induction cooktops. Any stainless steel flat-based cookware should do. It's available at any shop that sells cookware. As long as a magnet is attracted to the base it will be fine. So basically aluminium cookware is the useless type. Re: Miele products 18Jan 25, 2010 7:30 pm Careful of using the wrong pots. info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooker most pot sets will tell you if they are induction safe. PS - we are going for the Miele Washing machine w3831 Re: Miele products 19Jan 26, 2010 4:55 pm We received the cookware with our induction cooktop, although our current set (Berghoff stainless) works on the induction OK. We did have warranty call-out on the dishwasher, basically we had a power-outage during a cycle that dumped alot of water into the bottom of the machine, causing its anti-flood mechanism to trip. Miele were prompt in assisting with the repair and even though it was not technically their fault, it was still covered under warranty. I'm surprised the steam oven hasn't come up more often in this discussion - it has totally changed the way we cook (and reuse leftovers ). Cheers, |
