Originally when we submitted our wish list to the builder they wanted to charge us 22k for only the Oven, Steam oven, Gas hotplate, Rangehood & Coffee machine! This mean't that not only where they proposing to charge us close a 20% premium to upgrade to Miele appliances but they would also pocket the Miele discount as well!
After much haggling and threatening to take our business elswhere they finally agreed to the Miele appliances at regular retail + Miele discount. Altough they will charge $150 for the installation of each additional appliance other than the oven, rangehood and hotplate. As to why we wish to spend so much I guess it comes down to the fact that my wife loves cooking and spends hours in the kitchen so hopefully she will get the full benefit of this gear and of course it means that she cannot begrudge me my Home Theatre!!!!

I sent my wife on a holiday to melb markets, and I got a new computer Re: Anyone has Miele kitchen appliances? 20Apr 28, 2008 6:58 pm We've gone for Miele ovens only (2 pyrolitics and a microwave).
I believe most mid to upper-mid range appliance manufacturers have a sweet spot appliance and I believe Miele's is ovens and probably non-gas cooktops. We have a gas cooktop and have gone with ILVE. My personal opinion is the Miele dishwashers are a little overrated but where else are you going to get a cutlery drawer? We went for AEG (just, over a Miele). The Miele decor rangehoods aren't that powerful compared to a few others on the market (unless you buy Miele's gigantic ugly box rangehoods) but they look great. That said, the rangehoods are probably powerful enough for 90-95% of cooking. We went with an ILVE B2 Crystal rangehood for the extra extraction power and it looks almost as nice as a Miele. Hi All, we are starting to think of building with Masterpiece Builders in Victoria, has anyone had any feedback or experience with them 0 14104 Hi we are looking to talk to people who have built with them recently. We have signed mid range built contract but identified that a lot of things are not included.… 0 1157 I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 15700 |
