Hi All,
I'm usually one of the bigger Miele fanboys around, with the laundry, cooking and floor care equipment, however we've recently put my 5yo G2220 SCi Dishwasher into mums house and bought the new G5715 SCU XXL for our house. So far this hasnt gone well and I really should've kept the old G2220 which could wash anything, first time every time and bought mum a cheaper Bosch (or the most expensive which would still have been cheaper than this).
The pro's of the new machine are as follows:
<ul>
<li>3D cuttlery tray (everything finally fits)</li>
<li>Turbo Function (heavily soiled load complete in 70-80mins)</li>
<li>Champagne glass supports in the lower rack</li>
</ul>
The downsides
<ul>
<li>Left hand cup rack is too low and has plastic protrusion in the middle, no longer can fit cups under the rack or fit two full rows of cups and glasses along the left hand side, pieces have to alternated and as the rack no longer flips down I cant put tupperware on top.</li>
<li>Cup seperator has been replaced with Wine glass stem support, cups and glasses now need to balanced against each other on the left hand side ala bosch</li>
<li>In the lower rack, the tall tines that stick up on the rear 2/3's of the dishwasher on both sides cut into loading space and make it challenging to fit roasting pans in, the old plate guard racks were far better.</li>
<li>My cereal bowls that fitted perfectly in the old plate guard racks in the old machine, now fall over every time you slide the basket in and out</li>
<li>The door auto open feature leaves plastic soaking wet and the door makes a grinding/rubbing sound as the door moves when you open and close it.</li>
<li>The expanded 15 place settings seems to be based on using hotel crockery rather than the 14 real world place settings that fitted in the old one. The lack of usable space in the left side of the middle rack in what has really gotten me annoyed.</li>
</ul>
To top it all off it was $600 dearer than it's old equivilent G2220 ($1999 including stainless door) at $2599 and stuff now consistently comes out dirty (Food in bowls and yibbles throughout the machine) and requires manual scrubbing and rewashing. The detergent is the same, the salt and rinse aid settings are copied from the old machine.
I'm not sure what is that different about it, the pump module looks the same, its no quieter than the old machine and the water consumption hasnt dropped by much. It does have spray arm alternation which was only available on the more expensive models in the old range. But it's basically the same unit, with some nasty racking.
Has anyone else bought a 5xxx series dishwasher and found that whilst its good, if you've had one of the previous generation machines, you now really miss it and want it back
