We sell Miele appliances, but few and far between. On the odd occasion, a customer who will ask for Miele, is replacing a Miele. Miele have just introduced a 5 year warranty, as opposed to 2 years, over the last year. For a firm, which has factory tested it's appliances, to last 20 years, I would expect at least 5 years. Neither LG, nor Samsung, allege such longevity, yet both offer 5 years. LG is more expensive than Samsung but, in my professional and personal opinion, with good reason.
