Product review (5 stars): Superb quality dishwasher and unbelievably quiet
This entry-level dishwasher from Miele is a real gem.  It is so quiet that the only way to make out it's running is by taking a look at the display panel.  Cleaning quality is superior, and there are multiple settings to choose from.  The clean touch stainess steel is really what it claims to be, i.e., it does not retain fingerprints, and wiping it with a moist cloth leaves it squeaky clean.
The biggest selling point of Miele appears to be their reliability.  Even the dealer recommended not spending additional money to buy extended protection plan.  His point was that unless there is a manufacturing defect (which would be covered by the 1 year warranty), these machines rarely break down within the coverage period of the extended warranty.
Note that this is a German product, and hence not as big inside as its American cousins.  I do recommend buying the model with the cutlery tray.  Not only the cutlery is cleaned very well (it has a spraying arm right below the cutlery tray), it also frees up additional space in the lower rack by not having to accomodate the cutlery basket.  Totally worth the additional $100.
If you are ok with having the control panel on the front (which I actually like better than the controls being on the top of the door), you can't really go wrong with this dishwasher.
