Product review (1 stars): Broken down THREE times in FIVE years!
NEVER buy a MIELE dishwasher.  They are the most costly units and ours has broken down THREE times in FIVE years, due to a faulty water intake valve.  It broke down the last time a day before Thanksgiving and it cost $500 to repair it (parts and labor).  Miele refuses to cover the costs of our repairs.  This is the worst appliance purchase we have ever made -- Do not make the same mistake.
