Miele washing machine model changes 2009
Miele have announced several model changes from their washing machine range. Some models have been discontinued and others have been replaced by new models. If you find a discontinued model on sale don’t let it put you off buying because Miele will still support the machine throughout its life. One of the models replaced is the W 3740 which I reviewed here – W 3740 review

I note that the W 3844 WPS Allerwash has been discontinued in the UK.
The equivalent Australian machine, the W3845 MedicWash is also discontinued here.

However, I believe I read somewhere that Miele would generally hold spares for 20 years on discontinued models. And as there is not a lot of difference in most components in this machine (assumption) as to other machines, surely many compatible parts would be available… Motor, drum, pump etc.
Therefore, if a local supplier has a “runout price” on a Miele MedicWash, do you think it would be a good buy? Like, a saving of $600 Aus? All prices on Miele over here are set by Miele Australia, so any discount on these is rare.
I assume it is being discontinued due to its unpopularity, that is they probably haven’t sold too many. I certainly cannot find any customer reviews on this specific machine (3844 / 3845).
Your thoughts and advice on this would be appreciated. Thanks!
