Grayson, the cat, loves to watch me load the dishwasher and unload it. He likes to sit on the door after I open it and soak up the heat in the door. This little guy is from Georgia and he just turned 6 months old. He is a character...we love him. My other two cats have accepted him.

Hi Mike. How is the New Machine ?
Are you happy with it ? A friend of mine is in the market for a new Dishwasher.
She is upgrading her home to put it on the market. I told her if she was selling NOT to bother with Miele.

I love it so far. This thing cleans better than the Miele could and that’s saying something. It’s not as quiet as the Miele was , but that’s not an issue. I find I use the Auto and Heavy cycles most followed by Normal. I do clean the filter once a week and just entails pulling it out and running it thru the faucet.
It also holds much more than the Miele ever could. The back two rows of tines in the lower rack fold flat so I can put pots and pans facing down. The upper rack has two areas where the tines fold flat. The next model up from mine has more loading options and is Alexa enabled. Scott wanted me to buy that one, but I would never use that feature. We have enough things in this house that is Alexa enabled, I mean how lazy can one be?!
The racks are very sturdy, the tine tips are balled and they glide out effortlessly. I love the upper rack height and I can put tall items up on that rack with no issues. The top water source is an impeller much like a Bosch and before the dishwasher drains, it will surge the water thru it flushing the top of the load. Bottom arm is no slouch in power.

I was impressed with the quality of the racks, cleaning ability and capacity of my 2008 LG. Glad they're still making them that way. Only wish they made a full-size portable; I'd get one in a heartbeat.

Do you recall what model number your Miele was? I am just looking for reference as far as size. I am interested in buying a Miele as my next dishwasher. But reviews like this are potentially changing that!

It was a Miele LaPerla dishwasher we bought in 2008. I can dig up the info on it shortly. It was top of the line at the time and it had a top of the line price to go with it too. I loved that dishwasher but after close to 10 years and looking at hefty price tag to get it fixed, I passed. It didn't make sense to put that kinda money into it, especially for a 9 year old machine. I know Miele used to claim a 20 year life, but seriously, thats only if you dont use it everyday. I dont miss it.

I have the same one that you did but I thought you bought yours before I got mine. I bought mine in June of 2006. Still working fine.

My friends where I live had a Miele that was 13 years old.
One day it quit. As they go North and South, I asked if they would like me to have the machine fixed while they were away.
Yup do it. The Tech came and said he needed the machine removed. This machine had hidden controls and a custom front wood panel. The Tech informed me that the panel must be removed by another source as if they damaged it they did NOT want to be held responsible.
So,(Just feel like rambling) I removed the panel and it went to the shop. The Diagnoses was that it needed a circulator pump and a drain pump to the sum of $980.00. The owners said do it
Year and a half later the "Mother Board" or whatever went and that part was over $700 with NO WARRANTY. They dumped it and bought yet another Miele which is more nosy than the first.
Sorry but I am the type of person (at 62 years) that really doesn't give a crap about the Doo Dads and the Bells and Whistles.
All I I care about is clean dishes and pots in less than a Hour and 30 minutes.
Then, when my "Cache" of Dishwashers are done, I should be long gone and will miss them dearly. Unless I end up in the Hobart Galaxy. LOL

TopLoader, your comment: "Sorry but I am the type of person (at 62 years) that really doesn't give a crap about the Doo Dads and the Bells and Whistles." is pretty much how I feel. I put a MOL Frig DW in the mini Manse when I moved in and have not missed all the B&W's that were on the old TOL in the Manse.
I thought that same thing when I bought this dishwasher. I didn't use most of the cycles on the Miele, just Normal, Pots and Pans and on occasion the Tall Item cycle...that was about it too. Plus I wasn't going to pay an ungawdly amount of money like last time. We are planning on putting the house on the market this spring and moving...will we do it remains to be seen.
I am quite happy with this LG dishwasher.
