I can also vouch for Miele appliances. Though they've lasted for over 20 years, which means the company might be producing crap by now for all I know :)

I always regarded MIELE as top-notch, so I bought nearly every household/kitchen appliance from them.

Can't remember having had to call a service hotline of a specific brand that often.

Wash-dryer needed 6 repairs within the first 7 years (luckily covered by 10y warranty), dishwasher twice in 5 years, microwave/steamer and ventilation hood both once within the first 5 months.

The MIELE image unfortunately took quite some damage based on my personal experience.

I do not believe they have an edge. They might be sticking to the few features = less moving parts = smaller chance to break but the materials are same cheap plastics and weak metals.
