Miele Dishwashers

Our Miele dishwasher is coming up to 4 years old now and is absolutely superb. Only complaint I have is that the cutlery tray limits the height of tall wine glasses in the middle basket, but the space it frees up in the bottom is worth it. Best racking system ever - can fit anythign in anywhere, and it washes everything clean - though admittedly we always use Pots & Pans 75*C.
Bewitched - love all your Miele dishwashers, I presume you own a few houses?

Miele quality is the same 4 BOL and TOL models
Hi Ray,
with the price of the G2872xxx (LaPerla) you can buy nearly two Inspiras (G2182)....
No doubt, La Perla is glamorous : touchscreen, self opening and self closing door, 16 (sixteen!!) programmes (too many)....
An Inspira has all the key features/programmes , cleans/dryes as well as LaPerla and has the same built quality.
This doesn't apply to BOL Bosch (perhaps here in EU). BOL Bosches have a plastic tub ground matched with SS tub walls and ceiling, while MOL and TOL are full SS.
A BOL miele can even be cheaper than a MOL/TOL Bosch/Siemens but has a better quality built
If you often need fast washes, take into consideration a model (e.g. G2143) having the "Turbo". This option cuts washing times f###ing energy star codes - more water and pressure as old mieles
Hot water fill - check miele eurosites, they're pushing us to hot fill to save energy, in case of solar/gas heated hot water. Beyond energy saving, hot fill is better if your cold water is really cold : no danger of discoloured plastics
Anyway get a tall tub model : be sure of the "2" after the G (G2XXX)
Now I've an A.E.G...Favorit, cause 10 years ago miele didn't sell stainless steel door DW. Next one I'll go back to miele
@ Marco/Bewitched : what about the microwave/forced air oven over the G 696 ?

La Perla in waiting
I have a La Perla in the garage waiting to be installed. Our new house has a MOL Bosch that is about six or seven years old and I am not impressed. I installed a Miele in my last house about ten years ago and loved it. Mieles are quiet, efficient, and do an amazing job. Like many of you, I put everything in with no prerinsing and don't run the machine until it is full. Our household is two active professionals who travel a great deal for our work, thus it is often one to two weeks between loads. Everything comes out sparkling.

Hello!
Jon: the G1830 is installed in my house, the G690 is in the cabinet in the wood I do own with my hubby, the G591 is installed in my holiday house in Corsica. The G696 Sensorplus is in the house my hubby usually lives and the others (G647 plus,G595 and G45 are in storage). I would love to repair and "have a tour" with my Miele G45...
Favorit: The oven on the counter is a Miele M700. Is a real "three ovens in one". It has microwaves,cooks with forced air or with "static" heat and has the grill. Microwaves can be used in combination with any of the other cooking methods. I never found another compact oven like it and despite it is quite old it works perfectly. I also have three "microwave" ovens all Miele branded. I bought the first (M636) but it had problems with the door switch. I discovered it was not a genuine Miele product so I wrote a long letter to Miele in Germany complaining about it. I was contacted by a Miele engineer who explained me microwave ovens are too expensive to produce and prices would have been fairly high so they decided to outsource them. He offered to swap my oven with a new genuine one ( Supratronic M754) made when they still produced them. This is wonderful, a product you can say it is Miele at a glance. Unfortunately it didn't have the "normal heating", just microwaves and grill. I swapped the M636 anyway but we needed an oven with the "forced air heating" and after using the M754 for years we bought our current M637EC and I gave "the original" to my hubby for his home. The M637 is still outsourced (I guess by the Fagor-Brandt group) but seems to have a better reliability. The M637 is the last compact microwave oven also sporting "forced air heating", microwaves and grill Miele put on the market. The M 700 is an original Miele product.

I would like to say Thank You to everyone who contributed to this thread, especially Mike, Chris, Marco, Jonathan, Favorit, and Allen. The pictures of all your dishwashers and kitchens are really nice.
Favorit......Don't worry about it being a picture thread. This is what I really wanted. Great job for starting it. Thank you so much for you input on these machines. I will compare the La Perla and Inspira.
It is so nice to see that most Europeans appreciate quality, especially the guys from Italy, Germany and the UK. I know these machines are quite expensive, but if they last long, they are worth it. Most Americans buy machines that barely last 3-5 years.
So....keep the Miele Glamour shots coming...... OR
if you have a dishwasher, (any brand that you like), post it here. Not just a Miele thread anymore..... lol

Ray - here's a link to a vid of our Miele dishwasher. Fairly average load for us - plates, glasses, cups, oven trays etc. No load is the same though as it is so damn flexible!
Excuse the clanging in the background - had jeans and a couple of belts in the tumble dryer!

Just for reference in my vid - the buzzing at 2.10 is the salt regenerating, at 2.27 the fill stops and the recirculation starts.
The vid shows how quiet it is, you can hear the television in the next room (coincidentally, at around 30 seconds you hear the Persil Small and Mighty advert).

Feed Back, Please
Though some time off so we can save, we are planning a kitchen renovation, currently the plan is to install 2 Kitchenaids or boschs due to the fact that when we entertain or have a simple family gathering it is at least 18 people. Would you recommend 1 Miele over two of any other brand? The plan is to replace the dual dishwashers with Mieles when the others give up the ghost...Thoughts?

Kitchaid is not what they used to be. And although Bosch was rated number 1 by Consumer Reports, the users comments were not favorable at all. It only got a 2 1/2 star rating out of 5 by 39 users. I would go with the Miele.
