I used to walk past this shop on a daily basis, namely because I used to work near by. The funny…read morething is that it always seemed to catch my attention, even though I'm not really in the market for kitchen appliances. However, since there were some rather interesting utensils, particularly the knife holder shaped like a man getting stabbed by multiple knives, it did catch my attention. Okay, when I ended up going inside, it wasn't to purchase that particular knife holder (though maybe I should go back and do so), it was to get a keep cup. Still, it is somewhat out of the ordinary, which gives points in my books.

Everything here looks shiny, strong and of high quality. Unfortunately its also very pricey - but if you're lucky like I have been you might just score yourself a present from here.

They have a wide range of kitchen ware including some great little gadgets and gift ideas. Also the widest range of knives I've seen in melbourne!

Because of heavy traffic, I was slightly delayed. The sales assistants wouldn't accept them anymore! I thought that is far to fiscal and very poor customer service.

Like any bad chef I always blame my tools for the outcome of a crappy, under-cooked meal. But…read morebecause of Superchef I can no longer do that... Damn them for stocking high quality products! However they have made the job of cooking a lot easier and painfree. I didn't realise you could cut onions practically tear-free if you have a good quality, sharp knife! They also stock a good variety of crockery and cooking utensils so even if you still screw-up dinner at least your guests will appreciate the lovely plate it came on.

Hospo stores are great if you just need a few extra sets place settings of cutlery or a few odd extra glasses for a dinner party!

We visited the Miele showrooms yesterday to look at dishwashers and cooktops…read more The staff were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The dishwashers look a lot better designed than our current german built bosch dishwasher which is a few years old now. The showroom had a decent range of their products on show so you can really get a good idea of what they look like and how they work. We had previously called the service line for Miele to ask some initial questions. The service technician we spoke with was very knowledgeable and helpful. Miele does their own servicing and repairs which we think is a huge bonus as you never know what standard of service you are going to get when it is a subcontractor. Miele also does the delivery and installation, and will take away the old dishwasher as well so we do not need to arrange a separate hard waste pickup. All in all a positive experience from both the service department and the showroom.

My experience with the service department of Miele was almost as bad as dealing with Vodafone--a…read morecomparison I don't use lightly. It took me an hour or so to book a service and when I finally got through, I booked and waited on the day for the service person to turn up. No reminder text, no confirmation, just sit around the house waiting for the technician to grace me with his presence. Even my local hairdresser has a confirmation system, it's hardly high tech. As it turns out the appointment was not until the afternoon so I lost a whole day's work just to have a dishwasher inlet valve cleaned out. The service manager "Jeremy" wouldn't even return my call when I tried to suggest how they might improve their service. Moral of the story, Miele technology may be good but don't expect Miele service to be up to a similar standard. Sadly, it's not.
