At Ocean Terrace, we believe that exceptional homes are defined not only by location or architecture but also by the quality of finishes. That’s why every apartment—fridge, oven, electric stovetop—features Miele appliances. Miele is a German brand renowned for its superior engineering, durability, and design. In this article we explore what makes Miele appliances special and how they elevate life at Ocean Terrace.
What Makes Miele Appliances Stand Out
Miele´s features mark its products as premium: durability, precision engineering, hygienic surfaces, advanced technology, and energy efficiency.
Here are some of the standout characteristics:
- Long lifespan: Miele products are designed to last, often with warranties and proven reliability over many years. This means appliances are built not just for short-term performance, but for enduring quality.
- Smart and energy-efficient: Modern Miele ovens and fridges include features like PerfectFresh Active (active humidity control in refrigerators), efficient induction cooktops, and intelligent self-cleaning surfaces (e.g. “PerfectClean”) that reduce maintenance.
- Hygiene and maintenance: Miele emphasizes surfaces and finishes that are easy to clean, resistant to bacteria, with components such as oven interiors designed to avoid corners or joints where dirt can accumulate.
- Design & integration: Their appliances offer sleek aesthetics—integrated fridge, elegant finishings, modern user interfaces—and fit into luxury kitchens without compromising the visual flow.
Why It Matters at Ocean Terrace
Using Miele appliances throughout (fridge, stove, electric oven, etc.) is not just about having high-end gadgets; it has real impact on daily living at Ocean Terrace:
- Durability means lower long-term costs: Because Miele is built to last, residents spend less on repair and replacements. A well-made oven or fridge that maintains performance over 10+ years adds significant value.
- Reduced issues from humidity and usage: Coastal living (especially in places like Leça da Palmeira) exposes homes to salt air, dampness, and moisture. Appliances with sealed, quality components, efficient insulation and tight build (as Miele provides) are less likely to suffer rust, moisture ingress, or performance drop.
- Better hygiene & ease of cleaning: With finishes designed to avoid deep seams, welded corners (or well-fitted joints), and surfaces treated to resist stains and bacteria (e.g. PerfectClean), cleaning is easier and malls of germs are minimized—important for kitchens and surfaces used daily.
- Consistency of quality across units: All apartments at Ocean Terrace have the same Miele standard—meaning that not only is the electrical equipment premium, but everything from the Krion stands to the Technal windowframes follow the same pattern.
