+1 for Bamix. Bought mine 15 years ago and it still works like new. It’s a workhorse and worth every penny.

I’ve just purchased my first Miele washing machine - it’s the most silent, effective and energy efficient machine I’ve ever used. 20 wash cycles of all different sizes and types amounted to approximately $2,50 in water and electricity, which is absolutely mind blowing compared to the danish energy prices these days. Admitted, Miele costs an arm and a leg, but supposedly lasting a generation. Their customer services is well renowned here as well.
