Uncovering the mastery behind Miele appliances.

Welcome to the Miele Test Lab

Embodying the unwavering commitment of 'Immer Besser,' we are always in pursuit of elevating our standards. Take a look at some of the stress and endurance tests our laundry, vacuum, and kitchen appliances undergo before they reach the market. Choose Miele for outstanding performance and long-lasting quality.

“Since our founding in 1899, we've quietly and confidently mastered our craft. What distinctly sets us apart are the uncompromising standards we establish, embodying our unwavering commitment to excellence.”

Testing the Endurance of Miele Floorheads

Before a Miele vacuum reaches your hands, its floorhead is tested to cover the distance from Berlin to Barcelona – about 2,000 kilometres.

Dishwasher Baskets

Whether you want to host dinner for friends or have your daily family meal, cleaning the dishes afterwards should be the least of your worries. That’s why we test the endurance of our dishwasher baskets by opening and closing a fully-loaded drawer 100,000 times.

Built to Last – Durability Testing

Vacuum Cleaner Crash Test

Miele vacuum cleaner casings and castors are tested to withstand 16,500 bumps.

Automatic Cable Rewind & Strain Testing

You want a vacuum cleaner that can effectively navigate and withstand the challenges of home life.

That’s why we unwind and rewind the cable reels in our vacuums 10,000 times. To evaluate the cable’s resilience, they are fully strained 500 times while enduring a 1kg weight.

Miele vacuum cleaner floorheads undergo thorough free-fall testing in a battering drum, as they are designed to withstand 1,800 falls on hard flooring.

Sound Testing – for a Peaceful & Quiet Home

Ssshhh…

We test the quiet spin of our laundry appliances, so you have to be quiet to hear them.

Vacuum Sound Design

Miele's acoustic lab meticulously monitors and fine-tunes the sound emissions of our vacuum cleaners. Evaluating the motor, the floorhead, and the entire air circuit makes for a serene cleaning experience.
