It's absolutely clear that this guy did NOT spend more than 30 seconds looking at the manual...or even cleaning himself in the shower. I'm a newbie at cooking, and this Miele oven was a godsend. I wonder how many "years" it took for him to transition from the flip phone to the smart phone. He probably still rocks a pager....
Wow, rough day and go with the Miele. I have a newer version and absolutely love it! This oven is not perfect, and yes, there is a learning curve, but its flexibility and versatility are unmatched in my experience. We only use our range to cook a large meal for the whole family. Regarding the water and condensation containers and the frequency of filling/emptying the containers, it all depends on what you're doing with the oven. If you're steam cooking, you must fill it with water and empty it. If you find that annoying, you can opt for the plumbed version. If you're using it throughout the day, it will stay on you about rinsing, but you don't have to do it each time; turn it off with the power button. Many Miele appliances have glass and piano black finishes, so they will be covered in fingerprints. After using it, I wipe the front of it with a wet microfiber towel.
I have the Combi-Steam and absolutely love it! I find it incredibly simple to use. If something I want to cook is not listed on the panel I just estimate the time and add steam if I choose. I also have been using the sous vide function. Which is also simple when you know the basics. Highly recommend. Our friends got one on our recommendation and now they are getting one for their summer place they love it so much. You do have to use it to for a bit but then .... I almost never use my Wolf oven.
At least in Australia Wolf appliances cost a fortune, like $30,000 AUD for a basic stove. Some of the Wolf appliances look great but not for the ginormous prices they cost in Australia
I do not want to be rude, but watching your video, it appears that the problem mainly stands in front of the oven. You are tipping nervously on the panel with very dirty fingers (are you dipping them in pure grease?) and wondering that it does not work. The inside of your oven is just disgusting. Miele kitchen parts are great quality, but they will not help if you lack basics. Maybe the following can help you: calm down and do the things in the correct order, maybe starting by cleaning your hands, the inside of your oven and the residue-water tank. Then read your documentation, even if it is generic, there will be loads of information in there. Do you know, why there are recipes in your book? It's in order to learn propper usage of the oven, try them out. By the way: the book is not an "oven for dummies" version, giving you step by step explanations for every dish you want to cook and that's normal, Miele will assume that somebody who buys that type of top of range appliance is... having a clue about cooking ;-) Hope that helps...
I did enjoy your video and what it would be like to read no manuals or truly understand cooking. But, thank you! My husband would be similar and thank goodness I do the cooking!
the lesson to be learned here is NO NOVICE hone cook needs a combi steam oven. Especially to make a chicken breast. You should have gotten a speed oven instead. Plus every attempt should be made to hard plumb it if you do get one. That's bother water and waste. They are great tools for professional chefs that understand how to use it. This is simply user errors.
Ridiculous, this isn't a review. Why did you choose this particular model and complain about fingerprints, water tanks, complexity ?? Miele combi steam are complex ovens, maybe your retailer didn't told you that there are ovens without touchscreen, plumbed and easier to use. You can't just blame Miele because you don't know how to use it and don't clean it. I'm sorry but it's a mess !! It looks like you only bought it because it was expensive...Stupidity.
People are hating on this video but I found it extremely helpful. I know my way around a kitchen and I don’t want to boxed into a corner with limitations of a $4000 plus oven. If I’m cooking for a large gathering I have food on my hands, little time to mess with menu functions and don’t want mess with emptying and filling water containers halfway through a cook
the miele combi steam ovens are horribly marketed... i understand the company wants to sell a lot of these but the truth is steam ovens are powerful tools for the hobbyist home cook, and no amount of menu and automatic options will make them suitable for mass market adoption
I'm assuming that your hands are as dirty as the inside of that oven, hence the reason that the touch pad was not working. Going forward, I would stick with microwaved HotPockets.
That’s the worst review. Do not listen to this man at all . The trays he tried to fit were from different Miele oven model ! The were from Miele single ovens prior 2007 ! The menu is nicely explained too . He just has to read it ! The touch panel doesn’t work as he touched it with a fraction of his finger and very quickly too . And lastly all touch surfaces have finger prints . Maybe if he degreases his fingers will not have any . Also man please clean that oven . Will you complain that miele don’t come to clean it for you. And when you fill the water tank dont make it all in water but there is a whole for filling it and when you fit in the oven should be dry externally next time you might want with the hose to fill the oven with water - because it works with water . But the way you operate with it you will burn the electronics soon with all this water spills!
lol if this guy is still alive i would be astonished to know how he is doing after being so bitter about how rich he is living in a penthouse mansion but unable to heat up some pizza rolls in his $8k oven......
When you cook, your fingers are often greasy, yes. Perhaps you should try cooking once. Also it's a common complaint that this interface gets fingerprints. This oven is needlessly complicated and ripe for failing fast because of that. Stupid design if there is one. You don't want all this crap. There is only one gadget that is even worse: the smartphone piloted oven. You REALLY don't want this utter crap.
Yes, you would think someone willing to spend quite a large sum of money on a Miele oven would have basic cooking knowledge, ie Proof is a bread dough setting and even more basic general knowledge, ie chicken is a meat. However the menu selection was very limited.
Your review lost all credibility that it might have had the second that oven door opened and I noticed the state of that poor appliance. Someone who obviously can't be bothered with even minimal maintenance and cleaning ought to stick with the original luddite ways and roast their meat over an open pit. I watched this video first about 3 months ago, then put it aside and purchased the appliance in question. I use it daily, mainly for baking bread / steaming vegetables or re-heating food. My version also comes with the removable fresh/condensed water reservoirs and admittedly, those make for regular shuffling back and forth between the appliance and the sink, mainly due to the automatic cleaning and rinsing. That's a 'feature' that I'm not enamored with, if at all possible I'd advise a direct connection. Other than that, nothing but praise. To my surprise the programmes work almost perfectly: the food's cooked as it should be, neither overcooked nor half raw.
Of how I see this is following: For some parts this guy is right. For example, Miele marketing department failed to do research of what Americans eat, and how they call their dishes therefore they program the oven accordingly. Other than that, his complains will be future update for this Miele oven lol
I am sorry Scott, but you make yourself ridiculous. Yes, Chicken is a type of MEAT :)... what a surprise. And please don't touch the surface with dirty fingers, that's why it looks rubbish. I have the same device and my one works perfectly, probably I use it right and read the manuel:) And for God sake, clean the oven before using it, because it looks ridiculous and disgusting :))))
while everyone is entitled to their opinions about the products they have purchased with their hard earned money, some consideration for the content for sharing would be much appreciated. While there is no attempts in this video to actually understand how this equipment works, it is hard to consider the contents of this video being valid. I would encourage views who are considering this equipment to visit my channel where proper information is given with actual samples and demonstrations. Miele does not support me in any way to post my contents, and all manufactured goods in the current market has their benefits and challenges. Is this the best product? perhaps not. Would one find this product more useful after some actual effort to try and learn about something new, especially when good amounts of money was spent to purchase it? Perhaps...
I think you want to use a world class top oven in the same way like cooking a meal in the middle of Yellowstone Park: a knife, a fire and 2 dirty hands, that simple. And you advice us to not buy a Miele. No, I advice you: go back in the forest, you will avoid to die because of malnutrition.
That steam oven is so beat up and filthy, so I can only imagine how you neglected using it. I am surprised that it is still functioning. And, yes so many finger prints because you need to clean its sometimes. I stopped on 3rd minute watching it , I can't.
the interface on this oven is horrific! I've never seen a touch panel with such horrible touch interaction and such low resolution!! Why can't they just use knobs like a normal smart oven! Breville figured it out!
Boomer Disaster! Warning ⛔️ Boomer cannot handle more than one button! Hazard: Boomer cannot clean his own oven and whines for bland, tasteless food! Level achieved: can cook cheap frozen veggies put in back of freezer 10 yrs ago.
@Judy Pilla it's not pronounced MielA, German " E " is not an English " A " But i understand why English speakers can't say it right, this sound doesn't exist by them.
Needed click the dislike button only once, guess my fingers aren’t that greasy :D. Not sure how the guy got wealthy.. not the brains and hygiene at least.

Did you notice how good your oven is? It got you roasted even on CZcams.
Hahahah - best comment yet!

How easy to clean?
@@omarkhokhar5308 it depends if you are hard plumbed or not big difference. Also if you have hard untreated water can be a problem.
Thank you!
Saving me a ton of trouble by avoiding this oven 🙂😊
Really....I think you would struggle to boil water.
If I were you I wouldn't try reviewing a table saw.

he is also not really 'pressing' buttons. Why can't he just press it for at least 0.5 seconds?
This video has epic levels of boomer energy.

Great Review. If you can't cook a $4,000 oven isn't going to make you Gordon Ramsay...Totally not helpful. but thank you all the same.
It seems like all your issues with this oven would have been solved by reading the manual first?
I'm assuming that your hands are as dirty as the inside of that oven, hence the reason that the touch pad was not working.
Going forward, I would stick with microwaved HotPockets.
omg how nice is the view from your kitchen! I'm super-jelly.
Did you ever read the manual?
The problem with the keys is caused by not cleaning (degreasing) the panel. But the rest of the oven is also eh uhm.... greasy
Someone should send him an Easy Bake Oven and see what kind of video he posts haha.
😂This reminds me of the time we bought by grandma an I phone
Mine got violent when we got her a dvd 📀 player!
The temperature probe you couldn't find is right between the condensate and freshwater tanks.

How did he become so wealthy if he's devoid of common sense? Seems a lot of rich people are just like him evidently.
Wow, maybe they need to include a suggested iq level to own a Miele oven.
I love my steam oven! You are having issues I could easily address. Don't listen to this guy!
I have one and super good! Easy to use and clean!
Awesome video. I was at a show room yesterday, and I noticed the exact qwerks you mentioned. Especially the opening and closing the water access.
Your fingers are greasy and you’re complaining you’re leaving greasy finger prints? This is hilarious!!

@@InXLsisDeo For a dumbass like this boomer everything is complicated :D
You need a cook not a oven lol
Yes, you would think someone willing to spend quite a large sum of money on a Miele oven would have basic cooking knowledge, ie Proof is a bread dough setting and even more basic general knowledge, ie chicken is a meat. However the menu selection was very limited.
You are using CZcams to put your video out.....try using CZcams and finding instructional videos on how to use your Miele Oven.

You can turn off the automatic cleaning and rinsing so you can do it only when you want to.
Thanks, I'm looking for easy to use so guess which oven I won't be buying. Thank you.
Then don't buy, smart phone, smart TV, smart home devices.... let's get back to '80s:))
Of how I see this is following: For some parts this guy is right. For example, Miele marketing department failed to do research of what Americans eat, and how they call their dishes therefore they program the oven accordingly.

should've gotten the plumbed version, just like $500 more IIRC.
and do cleaning after every use.
Those cost a lot more in 2024, but yes I agree. Miele least expensive plumbed version is nearly $7,000 with tax, its worth it though.
You should've been a comedian Scott rather than reviewing appliances! You're a funny guy..
LOL thank you so much for this video! it's exactly what I wanted to know. Ok you just sold me on Gaggenau or Wolf
I am sorry Scott, but you make yourself ridiculous. Yes, Chicken is a type of MEAT :)... what a surprise. And please don't touch the surface with dirty fingers, that's why it looks rubbish. I have the same device and my one works perfectly, probably I use it right and read the manuel:) And for God sake, clean the oven before using it, because it looks ridiculous and disgusting :))))
Just like my dad, haha. Best stick with takeaways, I think.
Bottom line - can DOES this make a simple chicken breast?
thanks for the reviewing, it is very real and authentic
This was hilarious! Great entertainment haha
I ❤😂😂😂you!!!
Thank you😂😂😂. I totally agree . Histerical 😂😂😂
can't follow instructions much?
clean your unit after every use. Your condenser unit is full of mould
You get it wrong master chef combines the steam to cook it slow and low temperature

what model is this oven
You get a touch panel oven... You know it is glass.... Why do you complain about finger prints?
What else were you expecting to happen?
That’s awesome! Best review ever
Thankyou
That steam oven is so beat up and filthy, so I can only imagine how you neglected using it. I am surprised that it is still functioning. And, yes so many finger prints because you need to clean its sometimes. I stopped on 3rd minute watching it , I can't.
Great effective.
C'est une plaisanterie. Heureusement que c'est un four Miele. N'importe quelle autre marque n'aurait su résister à un tel entretien !
Ich würde es mal mit putzen versuchen...
Nice place man
This is the most honest and so the best review of this expensive appliance. Thanks. Some more improvements to the usability are needed
Is this person for real ????? 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈😂😂😂😂
You are ssssssoooo ooollld 😂😂😂😂😂😂💔💔💔
you need to get 3 rocks and an oil can go out doors and have a blast Miele is not for you ! lolol
the interface on this oven is horrific! I've never seen a touch panel with such horrible touch interaction and such low resolution!! Why can't they just use knobs like a normal smart oven! Breville figured it out!
Vincent Rubino they do
On/Off ?
You can change the brightness in settings
Maybe clean it once
thank you, you just saved me 4000£
someone explain to him that in order to cook chicken breast he needs to choose sous vide in the menu
Maybe if this guy could present himself with clean look comb his hair maybe I could take him seriously.
Boomer Disaster! Warning ⛔️ Boomer cannot handle more than one button! Hazard: Boomer cannot clean his own oven and whines for bland, tasteless food! Level achieved: can cook cheap frozen veggies put in back of freezer 10 yrs ago.
The difference is Gaggenau. 🤣
It's pronounced Meila...rhymes with Sheila
@Judy Pilla it's not pronounced MielA, German " E " is not an English " A "
But i understand why English speakers can't say it right, this sound doesn't exist by them.
No smartass Miele rhymes with Chile.
Needed click the dislike button only once, guess my fingers aren’t that greasy :D. Not sure how the guy got wealthy.. not the brains and hygiene at least.
This gentleman is frustrated.
interesting ... very dramatic he he he :)
Thank you for sharing. This video made me not desire to get Miele steam oven.
Of course, buy a wood oven, it's much better.
Well atleast he is a handsome Daddy 😍
How boring.
I disagree with your review, it's full of angriness.
Overly complicated. Too much technology. I would rather have knobs.
it's a thing - miele are transitioning from a knobs and direct control appliance to assistant led appliances
Buy an oven with knobs, who stops you?
