I agree on a lot of them. Miele however, my mother's last Miele dishwasher lasted 22 years and they were still selling spare parts up until the day she replaced it. That's pretty unheard of in today's day and age
Miele had a definite edge on build quality, that means that services are fewer and farther between than with other brands given the same amount of use.
The joke was that if you wanted to armor plate your car you could do so with the side panels of Miele washing machines. Not too far from the truth, they were also much heavier than competitor gear. But those days are - as far as I can tell - over.
Theres more than initial acquisition cost or the looks of the appliance that's worth considering when purchasing!
