Miele has stated they are welcome the EU Parliament’s decision on the right to repair, which will give even more impetus to the issue of repairability. In most cases, repairing their durable appliances not only helps Miele customers save money on a new purchase, but also contributes to environmental and climate protection by reducing electronic waste and conserving resources.
At Miele, we test our domestic appliances for a service life of up to 20 years. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Miele appliances may become defective, but as repairs are generally less expensive and more sustainable than replacement, Miele maintain an extensive service network with qualified technicians. Miele also stock around 72,000 different spare parts and keep working parts in stock for at least 15 years after a product has been discontinued.Mieles approach is therefore inherently geared towards longevity and sustainability. Miele are not resting on their laurels, however, but are working to make service and repair solutions even better.
Miele hope that the EU directive will be implemented as uniformly as possible in all EU member states in order to minimise the implementation effort for market players

Bertazzoni three new metallic colours
Bertazzoni, in collaboration with MM Design, is pioneering research into innovative processing techniques inspired by renowned Italian excellences. Three new metallic finishes have been developed, capturing a positive essence through harmonious blends of light shades and vibrant textures.These finishes, featured prominently in products like the Modern Series built-in oven by Bertazzoni, infuse spaces with unexpected energy and warmth. The spectrum of colors and surfaces is broadening, with metals in brilliant finishes and material textures reflecting light in controlled ways. Gold, particularly versatile, adds depth and brightness, reflecting a trend towards joy and well-being inspired by nature’s beautyThe innovative Pure Metal Tech® technology intervenes by modifying the crystallographic structure of the metal, keeping it completely pure and recyclable, and enhancing its resistance. This process does not alter the material, ensuring its original integrity. Thanks to this technology, the finished products retain the essential properties of the metal, while also offering greater durability and reliability
The rigidized finishes represent the exceptional result of cold rolling on both sides – face & reverse – of stainless steel sheets. This high-pressure mechanical processing imparts a relief texture on the surface, giving the material a rigid and durable structure. Thanks to this technique, unique and distinctive finishes can be achieved.
