Miele are committed to providing reliable and great quality products, as well as exceptional service for our customers. Made in Germany, our appliances are designed and tested to last for up to 20 years, and in a lot of cases longer, however we understand sometimes there can be accidents along the way.

This is why we are launching a new page on our Online Store especially for Vacuum cleaner spare parts. From handles to floorheads, and from vacuum cleaner lids to suction hoses, our vacuum spares store caters to most needs that you could have throughout the life of you vacuum cleaner.

The online store allows for quick and easy purchase of the accessories and spare parts you need, without leaving the comfort of your home. It also allows you to pay by credit or debit card for ease of payment, in only a few simple steps.

To ensure you receive the exceptional customer service we deliver, Miele highly recommend that any repairs on your appliances be carried out by a fully trained Miele technician or one of our service agents, as they are fully qualified and trained in using the latest equipment and programmes needed to complete any repairs as quickly as possible, so you can get on with your day. This will also protect your guarantees and warranties (statutory rights remain unaffected).

Steve Jobs pays tribute to Miele washing machines

We found this quote from the late Steve Jobs of Apple and thought it would be nice to reproduce it here:

“Design is not limited to fancy new gadgets. Our family just bought a new washing machine and dryer. We didn’t have a very good one so we spent a little time looking at them. It turns out that the Americans make washers and dryers all wrong. The Europeans make them much better – but they take twice as long to do clothes! It turns out that they wash them with about a quarter as much water and your clothes end up with a lot less detergent on them. Most important, they don’t trash your clothes. They use a lot less soap, a lot less water, but they come out much cleaner, much softer, and they last a lot longer.

“We spent some time in our family talking about what’s the trade-off we want to make. We ended up talking a lot about design, but also about the values of our family. Did we care most about getting our wash done in an hour versus an hour and a half? Or did we care most about our clothes feeling really soft and lasting longer?

“We ended up opting for these Miele appliances, made in Germany. They are really wonderfully made and one of the few products we’ve bought over the last few years that we’re all really happy about. These guys really thought the process through. They did such a great job designing these washers and dryers. I got more thrill out of them than I have out of any piece of high tech in years.”
