Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Wow, that's a beautiful machine----and so high-tech, too! I love that the screen reads MAIN MENU. I live in a rural part of the upper midwest and don't get to see many Miele appliances. I think the only Miele dealership in the state of Minnesota is in the Minneapolis area. Do you have Miele laundry appliances, too? I know they are considered to be 'state of the art' machines.
 
Really a beautiful machine.
I know it has also a special cycle for beer's glasses (it doesn't use rinse agent so the beer can do its typical foam).

Mielerod, i've seen in your yahoo photo album the shots from the Miele museum, where is it?

Thank you,
Daniele
 
Super nice

I don't think I've seen that model, which now means a stop at my local dealer. Did you install it yourself? I did mine with the help of a friend and it wasn't as difficult as I was presuming, a little fiddling with the drain connection and it set to go. Haven't heard a peep from it in over 5 years now. The best Miele deals have always been during local "Home Shows" at the exhibition grounds, you can buy their show display models and often they'll have extra show specials of a particular model brought in much less than the regular price. That's how I got mine. I've never regretted buying it
 
beer glasses

Congrats. What a beautiful machine!

Interesting thing about the "Beer Glass" cycle, that sounds like an admission that the rinse agent is still in the glass and that we all drink it!!

I always thought of rinse agent in the final rinse of a DW as kinda nasty! But hey, something has to kill you eventually.

Also don't like fabric softeners in the last rinse... why would you want that chemical touching your body? I usually stick softener in the "Bleach" portion of a dispenser in those machines (usually F/L) that dispense the contents of that space into the first rinse.

What other KEWL features does this model DW have? Interior light fan-forced dry?
 
Hello Mielerod!

Congratulations on your new dishwasher!

Tell me though about the Miele museum. I presume its in Germany, can anyone go there and have a look? I would love to one day :)
 
Wowser!

Terrific d/w! Don't you just love stainless! Love the simple, high-tech design! You guys get all the good stuff! Maybe one day they will be available here in the USA!

Congrats to you!
 
Cost

Hi Rod,

How are you going? I've havent been price shopping since they released the new models. If you dont mind me asking, how much did that set you back?

Its such a great looking machine. Is it the 80cm model?

Have a great weekend

Nathan
 
Thanks everyone

As I write this message I have the dishwasher running on sensor wash. The machine has touchscreen glass control panel, its taller than the previous series by 1 cm, its now 85cm tall. You can now wash up to 31cm dinner plates and with a special insert up to 35cm. There is a cycle called 'without upper basket', this is where you can take out the middle basket and wash vases and baking trays. The machine retails for AU$3299 which is expensive, but since I work in the appliance business I got a great deal.

Pricey dishwasher

Good Lord, that would be a $2558.00 machine in USD! I really hope you really DID get a good deal, for that kind of money, I'd want the machine to grow legs, load itself, then put them away afterwards.
 
Well some of us like to pay for decent, good quality appliances. I think it's worth every penny...

If the machine did everything itself then it'd spoil the fun of using the appliance IMO.

True, but it seems there's a point of "diminishing returns" where the extras you get don't really seem to justify the extra cost. They have to start "gilding the lily" with gadgets and geegaws to justify the extra price since after a certain point the washing ability can't be improved anymore. The difference in quality and washing ability between a $200 machine and a $1000 machine is MUCH greater than the difference between a $1000 machine and a $2558 machine
 
Guys

If the machine that did it all could be made, there would be a waiting list miles long to get one. Talk about the ultimate stepLOL!
 
Price Points

Its important to note, that yes the Miele is very expensive, but they start from about $1200AUD

In australia, a cheapie dishwasher is $500-600AUD

A normal priced dishwasher is about $1000-$1200

A mid range miele is about $2000

The quality difference between our domestic stuff and the Miele is unbelievable. With the Miele up to about $2200 the cost is justifyable.

However I dont think I can convince Michael to spend the $3200 :(

These are all much higher than the starting prices you have in the US, and probably why we hang onto appliances longer
