... We had a AEG - Washing machine, not from Amazon, but also used for many years with full satisfaction. Unfortunately, this began to vibrate to, so that the shock absorbers were replaced. (Self-repair - spare parts complicated) Therefore, we have now a quality level higher on married yet. The delivery was well organized easily + as always with AMAZON. People who choose this machine + in "higher floor" is at home, you should definitely take advantage of the delivery service, because the machine is seeeeeehr hard !!!!! So far, no problems in handling + Waschmodi. Is also very quiet. (Should be at that price) We like the automatic dosing of liquid - detergent. Who in the house MIELE, has come up with, the container on the cover of the machine to screw! ????? What we would never do that, probably comes from another planet !!! ....... Can you but with the hose connection on adjacent shelf or otherwise make. The energy option A +++ we decided finally to buy. Previously strong buy recommendation.
