Washer Miele Deluxe 421.

The machine is approx. 40 years old (that's right) and working. However it's being advertised as broken because the thermostat doesn't work correctly anymore.

Dimensions: 61cm wide, 100cm high, 58cm deep. Reason for the 100cm height is the control panel (see picture)

The door and the drum are fully functional.

The washer can be viewed in Bielefeld-Brackwede. Please make an appointment Tel. 0521/487419.

Because of the dimensions and the weight this is pick up only.

This is a private auction. No warranty according to the private auction rules.

These are very nice

The first picture reminds me of a KM combo. Thank you Louis for the translation.

BEAUTIFUL vintage Mieles, and BIG too!!! I love the full backsplash on the Deluxe 421, and that 700 does remind me of a "Baby Bendix". A prime example of quality to see the first one still working great (with the exception of the thermostat).

If I could pick any model Miele, it would definitely be one of these!!

Also, what would the Miele 700 text translate into?

thanks matt

for showing us folks in the US these machines. those mieles are quite interesting.

Louis, one question.....Did/do Miele washers use porcelain coated tops? These really are nice looking washers.

I think older Miele's used to be all enamel and still are. No cheap paint material here.

Translation of the Miele 700:

WOW that Miele is super cool, it does look a little like a Bendix, what is that second window for in the lower left hand corner?

Water Level

The window on the lower left is for water level, this is a semi auto machine, you turn the tap on the top left to fill to desired level. You can see the drain tap on the RHS.

Altogether a marvelous piece of engineering, as they say " Immer Besser" Forever Better......
