Product review (1 stars): WOW...I wish I could have a do over
Miele has some great things; it's quite, fits great in many different sized holes, you can get a custom front, easy to level and install...but then between years 1-3 you start to run a load of dishes and you hear a "pop" and you kitchen floor is now covered in salt.  I called the Meile costumer service and they call a rep in the DC area, the guy on the phone was really helpful and said they would be able to fix it no problem and that this was not a "normal problem."  But, the guy who came to do the service call before they ordered the parts just smiled and told me his boss would love to sell me the parts because I would pay close to $500 for the water softer system, and the I would need a new feed line which was another $350...and the best part is what he said next "and then I will see you next year when it breaks again"

If you have the money not to care, pay for the Miele.  Or, you can spend half on a Kenmore, GE, Samsung, Kitchenaid or any of the other reliable brands.

Please, learn from me, I had my miele sitting in the middle of my kitchen for a week waiting on the service guy...that just laughs when he thinks about how much money you just wasted.
