Miele washing machines and dryers, Miele vacuums, Sebo vacuums, The Scorpions, KMFDM, Blutengel.

Had my beautiful stainless steel Miele washing-machine and dryer for many years and it was worth the heavy price tag as it's only ever broken-down once and a qualified Miele engineer came out with a computer and fixed it in 30 mins. They're designed to last for 20 years like their vacuums, so you save in the long-term on replacement costs.

(Even the second best brand of washing machine is only half as good as a Miele.)

Had my Sebo Felix Pet Vacuum for many years too and it's so easy to fix and buy spare parts. My grandmother's Sebo lasted her for a lifetime, plus Sebo's are used to clean Buckingham Palace and the White House. Wish I bought a Miele vacuum though as they're quieter and the best.

My hands-free sensor bin (the lid keeps opening and closing on it anytime I walk past it) - it was made in Germany.

The Scorpions, KMFDM and Blutengel are 3 German bands I love.
