How can you make appliances list without Miele?

If you are in the market for a vacuum cleaner do yourself a favor, go more expensive and get a Miele, especially if you have some carpets, most vacuums can do a job on hard floors, but damn the difference of vacuuming carpets either a cheap vacuum vs my Miele is night and day.

(Don't know about the rest of their products, but they are german and a family owned business)

Every student home I've lived in had Miele appliances, indestructible like Nokia phones.

True.

But also not really the usual student budget.

I think they mean "rentals for students"

Yes, I understood as such.

It's balancing between cheap & cheap to replace vs actually good and lasting.

Their washing machines are beasts. In a good way.

Also at least in the UK the best KitchenAid alternative has got to be Kenwood. Love my mixer.
