Miele W5740

[northernmary]

I’ve taken delivery of a miele W5740 on 6th march 2012 to replace the Ise machine. the ise machine also went in to full spin at 1600 full of water and clothes half away through a cottons cycle the machine the engineer also said it required a new pcb also The inner tub kept banging on the outer cabinet during spin, managing director visited and said the inner tub was out of alignment with the cabinet as he couldn’t refit the transit brackets to the machine, so they collected the machine and refunded the money so I went to the local euronics centre and decided to go with the miele w5740 it was delivered three days later, I decided to take the top off and take some photos of the inside of the machine

VERY INTERESTING INSIDE OF A NEWER MIELE

CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU FOUND REGARDING
DRUM SUPPORT IE SHOCKS/DAMPERS,
MAIN WASH/SPIN MOTOR
DRAIN MOTOR QUALITY?

I BELIEVE MIELE IS STILL THE BEST.WE DO NOT GET V-ZUG MACHINES IN SOUTH AFRICA YET.I KEEP HOPING....

REPLY TO MY E-MAIL [email protected]

can you also tell me what went wrong with the ISE/ASKO/MAYTAG FRONTLOAD YOU HAD BEFORE.I currently own a brand new one?PCB was replaced a month ago>>>>>>>>>>>

Drum support with regards to shocks / dampers are high quality products even if the tub is off balance the machine does not display vibration (very little if any) .Main wash performance everything comes out clean and stain free with very little effort, spin speed is 1400rpm all my laundry goes straight in the tumble dryer and normally dry around 50 mins, I’ve had a few machines of late and this one really is the most quietist of them all, with the other machines I’ve had noise can be herd one floor up in the lounge, normally ended up turning the TV up to compensate for the noise. The drain motor quality I have no doubt I’ll never have no problem, with the miele premier 500 I had for 6 years not once was there an issue with the drain pump checked it once a month and never found nothing in it. If you read in my first post it says what was the issues the machine had.

Hmmmm... Well, I was dead set on getting one of these machines (The ISE/Asko) this summer. Perhaps I need to rethink this! My alternate choice is a Speed Queen FL washer. That machine is looker better and better!

 

Congrats on the Miele though, I adore mine!

And good luck with your New Miele.

They're Fine Machines.

Welcome back to Miele. The Asko/ISE seem like a good machine, but I bit my tongue when some people were suggesting they were better than the Miele! Shame you had problems with your choice, but I think you'll be very happy now with the changeover.

Good choice, definatly looks better than the ISE machine in my opinion.

I bit my tongue so hard it bled!!

Yes I agree with deedub with regards to many folks thinking that ISE/Asko were better than Miele. I'm glad Northernmary that you have seen the light. It is always exciting when you have something new to play with, but soon enough the cracks start to show and it loses the limelight.
Here in Australa ASKO were claiming 20 years like Miele on their stickers but soon that all disappeared, seems that they couldn't live up to that claim. Oh well imitation is the finest form of flattery!

Sooo Glad your have come around

Hi just like to add my further two cents worth, my wife and I have bought one about two years ago and up untill today cant fault it, no balance issues whatso-ever. I know it is still early days but it just is a very fine machine and very sturdy at that.

We had a Samsung fl before the Miele and it used to walk around the room.

So congrats hope you will enjoy it for many years more.

cheers

What Happened to your Premier 500 before you got this New Miele? and why did you get rid of the Miele Premier 500? as a Miele is a Miele isn't it?

shame about the ISE, was it a dud machine then? seems a bit of a waste for £899, at least you got your money back.

 

[bertrum]

The induction motor on the ISE/ ASKO gives it the edge over the Miele in my opinion, not a lot in it though.

The 20 year claim

Was quite warranted when the initial change over from ASEA to ASKO-ASEA occurred. However, when the Italians got their 'quality' into what were generally ASEA machines, things started to nose dive.

Now that Gorenje owns ASKO, I think that we'll see a return in quality.

Oh, and any manufacturer can have a dud machine. A very good friend of ours does most of his work (ponds and aquariums) in Sydney's Eastern suburbs and North Shore. He recently commented to me when I mentioned Miele and quality about the number of 'Red Miele service vans he sees at peoples houses'.

They can't ALL be getting installs.
