I have a Miele front end and a Miele condenser dryer. I love them both. The washing machine washes so well, comes out clean every time. I occasionally do a really hot wash on my white towels and that is all that's required to keep the machine clean. I like to add some vinegar to the rinse too sometimes and that gives it a bit of a descale.

The dryer is amazing. Like pp mentioned they all suck energy. I like the condenser though because you can stack it and the water can just be poured out after the cycle. No need to have a fan going in the laundry or a window open.

I also find the Miele great for not ruining my clothes. They have a honeycomb core so that nothing snags or gets ruined. I can chuck in my pantyhose and not worry about them at all.
