I would recommend and buy again.
We've only had the dryer for a little over a month now, but it works flawlessly and is dead quiet. This is our first Miele appliance and decided to go with them over similarly priced competitors because of the reviews of people would have had appliances last two decades or more. The dryer sits in a utility room that shares a wall with the sofa and the Quiet Mark is the business because we can't hear the dryer at all. In fact, when the utility door is closed (a hollow core door) you can't hear the dryer in the adjoining kitchen!! It dries things efficiently (A+++) and is dead quiet - win win.
