I've got a G2220 which is a Tall tub Model now about 4 years old.
It is a stellar performer, the sensor cycle on light loads gets everything clean in about 90mins (30mins of which is drying) or 120mins for a heavy load (30mins of which is drying)
I find it easy to load, it holds plenty, and I only remove bones, pits etc from plates, vegetable left overs like onion, lettuce, carrot etc just stay on the plate when it goes in. I check the filter each month and occaisionally might remove a stray bean or piece of spaghetti.
I wouldnt get a non tall tub miele with the cuttlery rack as loading space would be compromised, as it is more of my wine glasses just clear the bottom of the cuttlery rack when loading.
Second, whilst the machines are very well made, you may or may not need service. Mine is one of the early 2000 series machines, and it had a bad habit initially of choking on Olive pits and the cartlidge on the end of chicken bones. after 3 $130 service calls, MieleRod advised that there was a set of teeth that can be added to the filter. A $5 part and its never been clogged again. I had the drying fan fail at 3 years old, and Miele replaced it free out charge (1 year outside warranty) as there were known issues with this component. The Blower fan assembley is huge, so its no wonder the dishwasher dries like it does after the final 65deg Rinse.
I cant imagine going back to anything else. Other dishwashers I've used can clean as well, but are usually noisier or have painful racking. If you've got the money, go for it.
