Stand Corrected - That Will Teach Me To Post First Thing In

Who creates a ranking chart in alphabetical order anyway? *LOL*

Never Noticed

But will check Consumer Reports (USA version of Which?) to see how they list rankings.

resent that remark- educated and sensible enough to realise £850 on a machine with a 10 year guarantee= £85 per year and no repair bills......

Personally, I have never been too interested in Miele washing machines so have never thought of it along these lines but when you do, you realise what a eminently sensible investment it is. I have heard of people who have had Miele washing machines for 20+ years and indeed passing them on to their children after a lifetime of service which makes your £85 a year quite gernerous! Considering the washing machine is one of, if not the hardest working appliance in the house and with a family even more so, I would say that it is a brilliant investment for the peace of mind. However, people would rather spend more than double that on a TV what is obsolete technology after 24 months. Horses for courses.

How could Bosch and Siemens have such radically different ratings on that table.
They are the same BSH machines under two brands

Bosch and Siemens

May well be part of the same group, but there are other factors that will influence ratings such as the average age of machine...Bosch may well have a younger sample that will reflect in being more reliable.
