Product review (5 stars): Top Quality - Clean dishes every time, Dependable and Quiet! 5 year owner.
I wanted to wait until I used my dishwasher for a while so my review would be accurate. It is now about 5 years. Never needed repaired. Always gets my dishes clean. No problem loading as I have read others say. My plates are thick stoneware. So quiet that guests don't even realize it is on until the water drains. I have always used Miele products. The dealer told me to cut my soap cakes in half. We have done this since the beginning. Still clean dishes. The stainless steel cleans up beautifully even after all these years. We do not eat out much, and cook from scratch so it gets lots of use. It is still super quiet after all this time. We have well water which is horribly hard. We do not use a water softener tank. The built in water softener is great! We went through dishwashers almost every year. Bosh, etc. That is why we tried Miele and have never been sorry.  I bought from our dealer as Amazon could not ship to us. My model was not quite this and I paid a bit more. But I would recommend this brand highly.  I will be getting a new vacuum in the near future and plan to buy their brand. Get the cutlery tray it is great.
