Dear members, I am looking into a new heat pump dryer (Miele) - we currently have a Miele T8822C Condenser dryer, and why we can't fault the machine at all, our electric bill is going through the roof. We are a family of five plus a yorkshire dog. I guess my question is is there a significant...

Real push button switches and controls instead of a touch screen oh yeah and analog speed dials.

DSG GEARBOX Hi there, we had a 2011, Passat, TSI, very enjoyable car to drive, but the DSG gearbox had to be opened on about 25 000km, to replace the two clutches, again on 55 km and on 72 it started to act up again. It sometimes struggled to change gears smoothly and a few times disengaged...

Well I received an estimate from the repair shop and its not economically viable to repair the machine as it is the main pump that has gone belly up. So we are looking for a new machine, and we have decided on a Siemens again as the previous machine never gave us any problems whatsover. I will...

Dear all, Our Siemens dishwasher has started about a month ago to make very load grinding noises, but it still kept on cleaning good as usual, fast forward a month on and it came to a grinding halt. It is in for repairs as we speak, and now the question, do I let it be fixed, as I suspect it...

Congratulations on your Miele acquisition - it will not let you down and you will be impressed by it's quality, and the thoroughness in taking care of your laundry. I must say our Miele is doing some heavy lifting every day of its life as and not one hickup has ever occurred. I remember when...

kings size down duvet We have been owning our Miele W5740, for the last 9 years or so, more recently we have upgraded to a king size bed with a king size down duvet. With my obsession in always getting things cleaned to the bone I just had to wash the duvet, so in goes the duvet in our Miele...

Hi Henene, I had the VW Passat 2011, 1.8 TSi, fantastic car if everything goes right, but we unfortunately had a lot of issues with said DSG gearbox. I bought the car with about 22 000 km on it, so in my eyes a fairly new car. But at about 25 000km the dual clutch system started to act up...

I find this clip on You Tube, and its rather interesting to watch, but I think the European Auto industry is on rocky territory as well. Daimler-Benz already predicted a downward swing of things. Regards,

It's a matter of too much money and/credit going around and the "mommies at the tea club" or "book club" that wants to impress her girlfriends. By the way I really doubt that she will be using it as she will be buying food that's already prepared and she could just heat them and look all too grand.

I am also a bit skittish with regards to the Big Brother of Social media watching your every move, and they probably are making an profile of oneself. It is like with the short term insurers these days, they install a device to your car and it is constantly monitoring how you drive, fast slow...

We have bought a wood burning slow combustion stove for our house a few years ago, here everybody is changing back to wood as LP gas and electricity is very expensive. Thing is even if electricity were cheaper I would still use a wood stove, love the heat it generates at a fraction of the price...

Ok Thanks Uncledave, But I must say it seems unnecessary, point being what will you do with said information. If the wash load is almost half way, and your at the office what good will it do you? In my humble opinion it seem gimmicky,it won't help you do the washing faster, it seem to be the...

As a matter of curiosity, can you just confirm what is is that the Miele App does? We also have Miele appliances, but have never seen the need for an app for the machines. The whole world has gone app/ blue tooth crazy, as a matter of fact I have seen the Braun electric tooth brush the other...

Ford Kuga Not wanting to add further misery to the Ford post, but here in South Africa Ford has created a very bad reputation in the last few years, and I know it's way different model than the original poster, I am just saying the way Ford handled themselves and their paying customers were...

I kind of agree with both of the abovementioned posts, as seeing we also bought a home about four years ago, we got it for a song but with that was a lot of repair work to be done and it also feels like we are not making a dent in all that is wrong with the house. I try to repair and fix but is...

Would an inverter not solve the problem, something like a pure sinewave inverter. I am merely suggesting as I don't have any electrician background and/or training. We have installed deep cycle batteries at our practice and in case of a power outage said 12 volt batteries runs through the...

Congratulations!! with your purchase on a very well built machine, we have had our machine now for about eight years without a hickup whatsoever, it runs daily as we have two children with a third on its way. So the washing just gets more and more. It washes flawlessly everyday. Hope you...

@launderess and any other knoledgeable member Our Miele T8822C is about 8 years old now and gets rather heavy usage, should one try and disassemble the machine to clean it's air ways and fans or should one only clean the condenser unit. The Miels's Condenser unit is removable and I clean it...

Things can actually get even worse, here in South Africa Cape Town has been hit by a severe drought for the last three years, water consumption is capped at 85 liter person per day that equates to about 22 gallon (US). That is very tough, there was even mentioning of it going down to 65 liter...
