when it ceases to work, as some day it
inevitably will, you're in big trouble because
service is horrendously expensive, only Miele
servicemen can clear fault codes on some
newer models, and you can buy
a washing machine of another make for the
cost of some of the fairly
routine spare parts.

This brings me to the case of a relative. People buy Miele washing machines
because they are reliable. People are scared stiff of the down time when a
washing machine stops, so much they are prepared to spend to reduce down
time. *A sort of insurance.
