That's good news. If the machines are as reliable as we are led to believe then the extended warranties must be a great and inexpensive way for Miele to promote their products. I would think the 10 year warranty especially goes a long long way in attracting new business from people fed up with paying for repairs/new machines as well as helping to justify the price premium. I think this is important for most people browsing the stores as it really differentiates Miele from the other brands .Unless you do your research (Washerhelp ) you probably wouldn't understand where all the extra money was going. I will also be ordering a new washer when the extended warranties are released again.

If you want the benefit of buying from John Lewis and there is a comet nearby to your local store then why not try their price match promise. Just go in and tell them that comet down the road are selling the 3740 for £733 and they should check and match the price. The local comet (Or other store) has to have them in stock and be displaying a price on the machine. Gary
