Those lenses look like they will give a very wide spread, probably take Mr Blobby to trip them.

what are the jumpers doing on the back

What happens if you set them up outdoors at a shorter distance ?

My Bosch one failed after 3 years.

 

Bad example TBH as many models are as cheaply made as the rest. Miele I believe have a true vertical factory and only make their own stuff.

Mines Panasonic right now, Chinese tat - but with a 7 year free warranty!

Good spot, probably half the issue

Isn't this Chinese stuff 433 mainly as well though?

Just replaced a Zanussi washer a couple of weeks ago, lasted 8 years.

 

Best thing I can think of for longevity is our Oreck vac's had them over 20 years before I replaced one of them.

" On the back of one sensor are 2 pins with a jumper on them, from reading the manual removing the jumper makes the sensors less sensitive (not what I want). "

oops

I've got meile stuff can't fault it but it's not cheap

We bought a mielle vac but found it too heavy (after the Oreck I guess) so my mother has it now. 

I have a dyson vac and 2 robot ones both cheap and ok ish vs a dyson robot

Thats the one good thing about buying half decent tech over the best tech, I was quite jealous of the new washer your missus got it looked really cool. My missuses Samsung is a couple of years old now so it will be another couple of years at least till we get a nice new flash one like yours. James's Miele will last another twenty years before he will need to upgrade to the latest tech machine 

washing machines live longer with calgon lol
