I agree with many others: keep the Miele. I've had one for more than 20 years and I was sorry to see it go because of worn bearings. Otherwise it looked immaculate inside and out. I know that it can be very tempting to buy another machine with new features as that's exactly what manufacturers want you to do, but in most cases the excitement about these wears out quickly and you realise that you are not better of with the new machine. There are many more new washer models than that there are actual improvements.
For as far as I know the only area where new models usually mean better performance is in the computer related business.
