(More customer reviews)I'd never owned a Miele dishwasher before this one, but I'd heard the hype: cleans great, super-quiet, saves water, etc. So I bought one and found that most of the hype is false.
First, it's not that quiet. I wouldn't call it loud, but it's no quieter than my old Kenmore that was half the price.
It also doesn't fit dishes particularly well. I don't understand how Miele took a standard-sized dishwasher and made it hold only 2/3 the dishes of my old Kenmore, but somehow they did it. The rack layout just stinks.
But worst of all, this dishwasher is lousy for cleaning. In a typical load of dirty dishes (no rinsing by hand), 6-10 items don't get clean. Primary offenders are the frontmost and rearmost plates on the bottom rack, any silverware in the top (third) rack, and cups facing downward. They are left with bits of food. Mind you, I am not a novice at loading a dishwasher and I followed the recommended patterns in the manual. Simply put, the cleaning capability is the worst I've seen in a modern dishwasher. Since this is also the most expensive dishwasher I've ever owned, that's bad.
I had the machine checked out by an authorized Miele service technician, who found nothing wrong. So I took advantage of Miele's "love it or return it" policy, got my money back, and purchased a KitchenAid KUDE70CVSS for a few hundred dollars less. You can read my review of the KUDE70CVSS on Amazon too. (Hint: the title is "This dishwasher rocks!!!")
