Maniglia

O design da pega é moderno mas a utilização de uma liga metálica (antimónio) na peça que serve de fulcro, onde se concentra toda a força mecânica para projetar a abertura da porta, é francamente uma muito má opção. Para a mesma linha de frigorífico eu já comprei dois fechos iguais, os quais partem exatamente na mesma peça. Convinha solucionar rapidamente este problema.

Excellent replacement accessory, easy to order, speedy delivery and very easy to install.

This is the third handle that I have bought in seven years, the others had be replaced as they snapped off at the door after a few years of use. I am hoping that this third one will last longer. I do not expect this bad quality from Miele as I have many other appliances from Miele, some still in use after over thirty years. I think perhaps the quality has dropped recently, the handles have all snapped in the same place so maybe a design fault? Plus replacement handles are not cheap, I would not mind paying if the quality was up to scratch.

I was shocked when one of the handles snapped as they look quite substantial, but upon closer examination there is a real weak-spot in the design and I am surprised that they lasted as long as they have. I ordered two so now have a spare "just-in-case", but the price really is unjustifiable.
