Product review (1 stars): Has broken down THREE times in FIVE years
Never buy a Miele dishwasher.  The water intake valve on our unit is defective and has been replaced THREE times in FIVE years, at a cost of $500 (parts and labor) each time.  Miele USA refuses to cover the costs of this replacement part, despite many requests.  This dishwasher is the worst appliance purchase we have ever made -- Don't make the same mistake.
