Miele gouge like hell on spares, a new door for my fridge-freezer costs about as much as the entire unit, including 2 doors, did. The door cover is maybe one of the top things to want replacing on a fridge. Also the plastic door trays are clearly suffering from "material use optimisation" because the hinges break off due to insufficient material support.
On the other side, the thing is still working, but it's only been 8 years.
But I do agree about the TAM, which is why it's contingent on being an idle billionaire.
FWIW Miele refrigeration products are made by Liebherr and many are rebadged for Miele. You might be able to find an equivalent Liebherr product and save money by buying the Liebherr part instead.
Right, but these are the kind of games that I, as a consumer, do not expect to have to play with an ethical producer that truly just cares about making good products.
