I have yet another broken Miele device. the 5th time in 10 years.

Miele offer different repair options.

the dryer is 8 years old, we paid 1200 euros for it.

I see 3 options and would love to hear your opinions:

- should I go for the Miele €349 fixed price (part and labour included)

- should I trust another (unofficial?) repair company than Miele?

- should I just buy a new one? I could add 300 euros on top of the €349 repair budget and buy a new one from Samsung (same energy label: C).

Last year, when the Miele washing machine broke down we chose the 150 euros (+ labour + parts) repair option from Miele (their recommendation) but it was wasteful, the repair man gave up trying to repair and we paid €180 for nothing.

On a side note, I can't resist but rant at Miele.

This is our 4th Miele appliance that breaks down in less than 10 years.

• An expensive (€1249) Miele induction stove broke down twice in its first 4 years (2nd time outside warranty).
• 2 years ago another expensive (€1199) slimline dishwasher broke down after 8 years of very limited use (kids left the nest 4 years and it's only used on some week ends)
• the (€800) washing machine died last year
• the (€1200) dryer died this year

We honestly take good care of our products, our water is very good quality and we do the regular anti-calc maintenance.

I'm a laughing stock at with my friends, co-workers and families. I proudly bragged at Miele and that it will last 15 to 20 years when their Asian shit would break down in 5 years.
They spent half my budget and they stuff still work after 8-10 years.

My parents still use their samsung washing machine after 14 years!!! It never broke down and is far better than our Miele (noise, functionality). We actually bought a samsung last year and I love it.

I'm at a point where I specifically avoid German brands (cars, tools) when I buy something. it's amazing how things have changed in a decade!

hi, I installed Island on my tablet and then I installed a game (from google play store) in the work profile. (I use the work profile on a personal tablet, it has nothing to do with my employer)

my issue is that I cannot watch any ad (there is an ad button in the game that will give me game currency after I watch an ad) google gemini tells me to reset my advertiser id but I seem to only be able to do that (android setting, privacy, ad center) on the mainland space. my android settings don't seem to separate personal from work. I'm not sure what to do to fix this.

This is the 10th or more than I report hateful speech against Islam. I have a 100% rejection rate from facebook. this is the last one, a bit more eloquent than the previous offenses.

below is a post that was forwarded to my daughter school and then shared in the classroom and with her.
This is the exactly the kind of messages that she hears or sees on a weekly basis.
we don't even practice any religion in our family but my wife is muslim (I'm christian) and that's enough to harass my daughter.

this has significantly increased since Trump election. and FB has totally changed how it applies its own rule since that time.

where do we go from there? we feel powerless and defenceless and Facebook is fuelling this.

PS: on previous hateful conduct reports, I did "request a review" but again, all were rejected
