    I don’t think this is that straightforward.  It depends on if you need rather than want the money.  My partner cashed in some of his pension to kit us out with Miele appliances, nearly everything needed replacing and we wanted to get a dishwasher.  This was quite a long time ago and the Miele stuff should see us out :)
    I hope you have better luck than I did. My Miele Fridge freezer broke down shortly after warranty

    I had a friend whose parents lived in the Netherlands for years.  I visited them and was interested to see their Miele washing machine had just celebrated its 40th birthday.   :D
