Miele washing machine with plastic tub?
Hello, I’ve recently seen for sale on eBay a secondhand Miele washing machine.
Its going for £59 however it says that it has a plastic tub. Can you shed any light on which Miele models had plastic tubs as it’s my understanding they all now have metal ones?
many thanks.

Query about whether a secondhand Miele washing machine could have a plastic tub
- The problem
- The poster asked if any Miele washing machine models were made with a plastic tub after seeing a used Miele advertised as such for £59.
- Likely cause
- The discussion suggests the advert description may be incorrect. The accepted reply states they had never heard of a Miele washing machine with a plastic tub and that, when checked with a Miele contact, there were said to be no plans to use them at that time.
- What fixed it
- No repair was discussed. The accepted advice was effectively that a plastic-tub Miele was not known or supported by the information available, and the very low £59 price raised doubts about the machine or listing. The exact model was not provided, so no model-specific confirmation was possible.
- Checks to try
- Advert price stated as £59
- Accepted reply said they had never heard of a Miele washing machine with a plastic tub
- Accepted reply said a Miele contact advised there were no plans to use plastic tubs

I’ve never heard of a Miele washing machine with a plastic tub. I heard rumours they were going to start using them but when I checked with my Miele contact he said they had no plans to. Even if they changed their minds any plastic tubs would be very new as this was only last year.
To be honest I’d wonder how old this machine was. £59 is ludicrously cheap for a Miele.
