Product review (4 stars): Very quiet but needs a couple of improvements
We bought this dishwasher from a local store after looking extensively for a dishwasher that would meet our desire to have a model that would be difficult for a young child to start, stop and/or open it. All of the models we viewed met one or the other of the criteria: most had a door lock and no lock for the controls, a few had a lock for the controls but not a door lock. The Miele Futura Diamond G5915 seemed to have both: the door can be locked and the control panel had a child safety lock option. So we forked out the top dollars for this model. Unfortunately, the software developers overlooked a crucial thing: the child safety lock is not active while the dishwasher is in use. It is very easy to cancel the cycle or turn the unit off: in fact, I've turned it off while working on the counter above it and leaning against it. Argh! The child safety lock is basic and I avoid letting my young one see how I deactivate it so it works for now when the unit is not being used. I suspect she will work it out soon though since it is pretty simple. The beep sound the unit makes with each button press is too alluring for a young one to leave alone. We seriously considered returning it but decided to keep it because it is a very quiet unit, which we love.

It has internal lights making it easier to see what is in each basket (except the top cutlery tray) without pulling them out. I love the separate top-level cutlery tray because it is safer than baskets with a young one around the house. It has lots of flexibility with regard to loading: upper basket vertical position can be adjusted (or removed completely), lots of foldable spikes, support bars, removable sections and inserts.

We have owned this model for a year now and the only other issue we've come across is that the flap on the detergent dispenser can be blocked by dishes placed in the bottom basket in front of the dispenser, not allowing it to open. We have adjusted and avoid placing large dishes in that area of the basket. It would be better to have a sliding cover for the detergent dispenser.

Overall a very nice and very quiet unit with a couple of simple design flaws.
