Entry level Miele vs Bosch/Siemens other appliances

[PHlL]

I've looked in previous threads, and often people have asked about Bosch vs Miele and overwhelmingly Miele is always recommended. But this tends to always be comparing a top end Bosch vs a top end Miele...

I'm putting in a new kitchen and putting in integrated appliances, upgrading from my current freestanding stuff. I'd budgeted £2,500 for a fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washing machine (which I thought was a decent amount compared to my current Samsung, Beko and Hotpoint setup, which have been faultless over 6 years).

This pretty much could only get me entry level Miele appliances if shopping around, or mid-upper end Bosch or Siemens appliances.

Comparing entry level to medium level, is Miele still the obvious one to go for?

N.B, I looked at trying to get graded Miele products, Miele offer this themselves but pricing wasn't competitive. If anyone has any seller recommendations, UK or Europe as could collect with a work van if much cheaper in their home country. Likewise, if there are discounts to be had buying a few appliances at once instead of ad hoc.

I'd rather have top end Siemens than entry-level Miele as I assume the former would have much greater functionality.

I'm not too sure what else functionality I need in truth. Provided it does the basics well and hopefully reliably that's the key.

The entry level Miele's look pretty decent and not lacking anything essential.

Fridge/Freezer is a KFN 37232
Dishwasher is a G 5050 SCVi

Miele have integrated washing machines in their brochure but (unless things have changed) we looked recently and they don't show any on their UK website.

I have just seen this when looking into. Anyone got any feedback on AEG stuff for washing machine/washer dryer?
