Product review (2 stars): Not the Miele of the past
We just purchased this dishwasher as part of a kitchen upgrade. We've owned Miele appliances for about 20 years and this our sixth dishwasher.  The old was was fine, the new one was purchased as we went to all stainless appliances.

Versus our 8 year old one:

Construction quality is way down. The thin stainless skin is mounted on a piece of plastic (at least by the handle) and the two surfaces rub against easy other and squeak every time you open the door. Nice touch Miele.  There are gaps in the door face.  The door is mounted on a flexible plastic bellows that is never in alignment and slips out of its groove constantly, creating a bulge in the plastic.

The interior racks have been redesigned. Forget about putting anything thicker than a Corelle plate between the stiles. They are also a fraction of the size of the old ones and bend with any weight placed between them or on them.

The height between the lower and middle racks has been shortened. No amount of adjustment will get the space back. So, also forget about putting any large plates in it. No, you can't put them in at an angle as the stiles are not strong enough to support the plate.

While certainly not noisy, it's louder than the old one. There were times I was standing a foot away from the old one and wondering what that noise was. This one can be heard quite clearly in the living room, two rooms away.

It's good at washing dishes but at the price Miele gets for their products the 5705 is not worth anything close to its price.
