Has anyone here owned a Miele washer-dryer for at least five years and had bad experiences with it? I've heard good things about them and I'm planning on replacing my existing washer-dryer soon. My current one is a Samsung model that has a known design flaw in the condenser that leads to it getting covered in a thick layer of insulation and no longer working (this would be prevented by putting a filter in the right place, or mitigated by making it possible to reach the condenser for cleaning without completely dismantling the machine).

All of the reviews on their web site are from people who had just bought their machine. I'm interested in what they're like after a few years. I've heard from folks who have owned Miele washing machines for 20 years, but no one who has owned one of their combined washer-dryers.

@david_chisnall Our local, trusted brick-and-mortar Miele store isn't a fan, his reasoning is that washers and dryers have very different mechanical requirements and unless you're severely constrained by space, just go with separate devices.

That said, I'm quite a big fan of Miele appliances and I'm happy to share my disassembly of their control MCUs and the code to access their diagnostic interface over the optical port.

(Or were you interested in them for actually washing and drying things?)

@felix Actually for washing and drying things, but if it's easy to rip out their controllers (or, at least, the bit that enables their app) and replace them with one of our ICENI CHERIoT devices then that might end up being a longer-term project...
