After 40+ years of infallible service with never a repair from my loyal classic Maytag, I am shopping for a new washer & dryer. I am considering Miele compact Classic W1 and T1 (for its regular 120 electric outlet plug) because all regular sizes have become too large for my small laundry area. Yes, it is an investment to pay $400 more (plus taxes) for each Miele, but I was justifying the solid German quality. But now reading about Miele bearings failing in such a short time (5-7 years) makes me wonder if any brand can assure us of its reliability. I never heard of washer bearings with my classic workhorse Maytag; are these bearings a technology of modern times that has proven problematic for all brands? Of course, the company would encourage you to buy their extended warranty for $320 (after you overpaid $400 for each Classic Miele. I understand the frustrated Miele customers who opt to just buy cheaper brands that they would not be upset replacing every 7 years.

"So I'm guessing Samsung are filtering reviews, and actually have a bunch of dweebs shilling for them and writing those ridiculously lengthy sunny reviews. "The concept of weeding out negative reviews is downright sneaky. "I'd be interested in taking this battle further, though; just no idea how." bubblyjock: You are making statements without evidence and appear to be obsessed with this. If you look at the reviews of other Samsung products on the Samsung website you will see that there are plenty of negative reviews. Perhaps your review wasn't posted. Perhaps there is a review process before posting. Perhaps what you wrote violates Samsung's policy and was discarded. You don't know. And no, I am not shilling for Samsung but something is amiss if you are trying to "battle" Samsung over something so trivial. It's not as if there aren't other review sites available to potential purchasers.
