Considering a Miele Dishwasher...advice please

[labboy]

Hi Everyone:
The KitchenAid tall tub has continued with nagging issues of unclean silverware, film, etc. I am to the point of being done with it.

So, I am strongly considering a Miele after reading the great feedback here. My only issue is I want one in white.

I really want the G5675 SC Vi Futura Dimension but it appears to require a panel. Can you order white panels?

The three white models listed look nice but if I am going to get a Miele I am OK with spending more to exactly what I want. It appears I can't get white if I want one of the higher end models.

Thoughts?
Bob

Front panels?

I guess you are asking about the front panels? These that are mounted right on the front of the door?
Miele does AFAIK not offer them.
Usually, they are made of usual kitchen front material. So, best option, try to find a piece matching the rest of your kitchen. This would make it disappear.
If you like to have it standing out in bright shining white, an idea would be to go to Ikea and buy a standard sized 24" wide DW front in the color of your choice or any other matching front you would like and use it as the front.
Or, last but not least, you consider a prefinished model. They are only avaible in SS, but I guess this would make it stand out even more and save you a lot of fuzz.

Usually, you'd go to wherever you bought your kitchen from and order a panel that fits the rests of your cabinets. Required measurements are in the dishwasher's installation manual.

Well wait a minute here...when we bought our Miele LaPerla dishwasher, it didn't come with a front panel. We were given a choice of stainless, white, off white, and black. We chose stainless steel and it was easy to install. Talk to the Miele dealer in your area and see what's available because what's available here in North America might not be available in Europe and vice versa. By the way there is nothing on the market like a Miele, they are well made and very efficient. Also with mine, I can fit just as much into my machine as an American machine.
