I was recently talking to a Miele salesman and asked about their warranty (of course he immediately started talking about the 5 year extended). I moved back to the regular warranty on the washer and dryer. He stated that if the consumer installs the machines, Miele will only honor a 1 year warranty? Versus the stated 2 year?? Is this true?[this post was last edited: 5/21/2010-14:55]
