Product review (2 stars): Great design and quiet, but poor reliability and service
I bought a Miele because of a reputation for being quiet and reliable.

It is well designed, especially the dish racks, cleans well, and is very quiet.  However, it basically fell apart after six years.  I was advised by Miele and the service company that it was worth repairing since it should last more than ten years.  After four service visits, $750 dollars worth of parts, and several unhelpful calls to Miele, it still did not work.

I replaced it with another brand made in the US that is just as quiet and actually cleans better.  I prefer the Miele design, but it is not worth the hassle and expense given the poor reliability.
