I chose the Automatic cycle. 2 hours and 22 minutes is quite long!
Dishwasher, out with the old, in with the new!

If you choose the Turbo function it can do it in 1 hour and 36 minutes. Quite a difference! I might use that quite often, but decided now to use the Automatic cycle without the Turbo option.
Picture for Eugene. You see freestanding dishwashers quite often here, especially in rental units. You get a standard kitchen with it and you buy the free standing appliances yourself. I have a cooktop to put on top of it.
Louis, does it have a fan for drying?
@pete: Actually I don't think so because it doesn't have the air inlet inside. But I defenitely heard something after the first cycle I did. There was air being moved or I must have been imagining things.
@chris: If you had the same or pretty much a similar dishwasher then it was definintely a rebadged Bauknecht.
Here's an after picture. Load is clean and dry.

Hi Louis, always good when a new appliance makes its way into the home, looking forward to hearing all the reviews of the different programmes (do we ever use them all?) I`m sure you will see a reduction in running costs and water usage over time.
I have never used a cutlery tray as a daily driver, I have used Al`s and Jons and personally would lose the will to live having to load them individually, especially during the wash parties Lol...but I`m sure I would get used to it if using it daily..
Happy washing, Mike

Cutlery trays
Actually its a feature I quite like as you end up sorting the cutlery before the wash rather than after although it has prompted comments from the BF about me being obsessed about how it is supposed to be loaded, mind you I have always been that way with how dishwashers should be loaded anyway. I also like the way it (apparently) gives room for serving spoons etc although I will admit that if they are really dirty I will find room for them in the main wash chamber rather than on the tray.
I like the exterior styling of the Miele dishwasher Louis has got and will admit to being tempted before now to update mine, although it looks strange to my eyes seeing that gas hob on top - a common enough arrangement in Holland, unheard of here.

@chris: There is a little spray arm over the cutlery tray.
@mike: I had my doubts about the cutlery tray, but this was the last model in the shop, so I had no choice. Friends who have one like it.
I guess I'm a one cycle man when it comes to dishwashers, unlike when it comes to washers. lol
@al: Yes, those gas hobs are very common here, initially meant for putting on a counter high fridge. So far I have seen these only in the Netherlands.

You won't be disappointed...
...with your Miele with cutlery tray Louis, great new toy by the way
I haven been using my Miele G646SC for 13 years now (faultlessly!) with said cutlery tray and would not have it any other way. If one packs all the items neatly together (it seems a faff/fiddle initially only ) then when unloading one easily scoops up ie the knives all in one go straight into the cutlery drawer. I was surprised to see that the newer models' cutlery tray does not lift out for it to be carried around the kitchen for filling/emptying which I find quite useful. I do remember reading something about a drying/air movement mechanism of sorts but will have to research it again.
Al - I am pleased to hear that I am not the only one having had comments made re: what I perceive to be correct loading of the tray and the dishwasher in general, I sometimes thinks it causes more arguments than handwashing ( gasp who said that!?) the items would lol. I would love the new G5620 sc with that auto opening door at the cycle end but cannot justify replacing my current machine as it still does such a good job! Now if only I had space for both...

Thanks Brendon. You are right, the cutlery tray doesn't lift out. For me that is not a problem, my kitchen is small and there is no space enough on the counter to put that tray on. I indeed load similar items together, I noticed unloading cutlery is a breeze that way.

It is not only the loading of cutlery trays and dishwashers in general that we have in common, I also have a Miele G646SC just coming up to its 10th birthday and still working like a trooper
Here it is being modelled by the lovely Lavamat Jon a couple of years ago - a "You can be sure .... " moment

Great pic! Even down to the washer teapot in the window!
Yeah mine just goes and goes and is truly living up to it's 20 year life expectancy. Looking at yours in the pic made me realise how mine's plastic has yellowed - would that be reason enough to replace it?! LOL

Nice dishwasher Louis
I have used my friends with the cutlery rack and I have to say I like it. I don't find it a pain to load and I don't have to stoop to get things down into a basket at the bottom of the machine.
So with the gas hob on top of the dishwasher, does your kitchen have room for an oven?

On the other side of the kitchen there is a Liebherr freezer with a Bosch compact oven/microwave on top of it. How many appliances can you get into a small kitchen? lol
