Product review (5 stars): Nice dishwasher and smooth transaction.
I have had this dishwasher only about a month so I can't attest as to its longevity - but that's one of the main reasons for which I chose a Miele.  Originally, I was going to just buy another Whirlpool dishwasher when my repairman told me that the motherboard was fried on my old one and that it would cost a couple hundred, including installation, to repair.  I figured that for a couple hundred more, I could have a new dishwasher that'd last another 20 years.  Well, my repairman said that a new Whirlpool or any other American dishwasher would not last that long - that they are not made like they used to be.  After some reading, it seemed that only the Bosch or Miele were likely to last that long, especially the Miele since they produced about 95% of their components in-house and have much better quality controls.  But I thought that the Miele's were too expensive so I set out to buy a Bosch (which are manufactured in the US).  After some shopping around though, it turned out that with shipping costs and tax (9.75%) and disposal, I was getting into Miele territory.  A Miele purchased online with free shipping and no tax became only a little more expensive than the Bosch so I went for the Miele in the end.  I was somewhat apprehensive about purchasing a large appliance like a dishwasher online and having it shipped from out of state.  I feared the hassles of having to return it for defects to an out of state store.  In the end though, everything went very smoothly.  Maybe I was lucky. I had it delivered to my house and hired an installation guy who had a good write up on Yelp.  In the end, everything was done very professionally and smoothly - from ordering, to delivery and to final installation including taking away the old dishwasher and doing a decent clean up.

The dishwasher is beautiful, feels solid, has superb craftsmanship, and is extremely quite and cleans impeccably. The rack configuration took a little getting used to and an occasional dish is not completely dry.  That's completely fine with me although I know some reviewers don't like this.  Now it had better last 20 years!
