Miele
Miele is a family-owned German appliance maker founded in 1899 and headquartered in Gütersloh, Germany. Its washing machines are built at the Gütersloh plant; dishwashers are produced in Bielefeld, Germany, with further dishwasher and vacuum-cleaner model ranges made at its plants in Uničov, Czech Republic and Dongguan, China — so "where is a Miele made" depends on the model, and the company's own factory pages are the source for which plant builds what. Miele tests its domestic appliances for up to 20 years of service life.
