The "New" Miele LaPerla DW

Article text:

"Miele will debut the new G 2002 La Perla series dishwasher this fall. Engineered to be the quietest Miele dishwashers yet, they also sport a Turbo feature that speeds up wash programs by 10-15%. Sensor Dry, the most advanced drying system on the market, analyzes room temperature to calculate the optimal water heat, rinse aid distribution and drying time. Dinner guests will wow as the Drying Plus feature automatically opens the door to aid in drying while the Auto Close function softly shuts the door to start the process all over again. A finishing touch� the un-mark-able/ remarkable Miele Clean Touch Steel� beautifully resists scratches, fingerprints and smudges.
Quieter and Faster
The Turbo feature (available on most wash cycles) produces quick, outstanding results by automatically adjusting the temperature of the water in the wash and rinse cycle - reducing the rinse and drying times by 10-15%. More efficient engineering processes have also shortened program cycles and improved sound ratings for quieter performance.

The Luxury of Auto Close
No one is gentle when it comes to closing a dishwasher. Often, it gets �the boot�, �the hip� or �the slam.� No matter how abusive the closing ritual, a Miele La Perla will smoothly, and luxuriously, finish the job automatically so the dishwasher closes securely and correctly. Ok, it�s also really, really cool to watch the motorized door close by itself.
Unique Advanced Drying Features
Miele�s drying process is the most innovative of any dishwasher made today. The Clean Air drying system circulates room air around the exterior cavity in the machine. This pulls moisture from the dishware to the walls of the dishwasher where it drains away. To assist this process, the new Sensor Dry feature measures room temperature so that it can adjust the heat of the water, rinse aid distribution and drying time to maximize performance. Drying Plus opens the door automatically at the end of the cycle to let out moisture and provide superb results, especially for plastics.

Timeless, Smudge-Proof Beauty
Cut down cleaning time for the dishes and the dishwasher as Miele�s Clean Touch Steel� finish resists fingerprinting, scratches and smudges. A very thin, transparent protective glass treatment is applied to the stainless panel that stands up to aggressive handling � keeping the dishwasher exterior cleaner, longer.

Beyond Clean to Hygiene
Dishware shouldn�t just look clean - for a healthy home - it should be hygienically clean. From its Clean Air drying system, to its third level cutlery tray that separates items for superior cleaning, to its sanitize programs � Miele�s dishwashers promise a healthier, more hygienic clean."

A motorized, self-closing dishwasher door??? Folks, I'm getting a tingle in my loins that the husbear ain't causing!
...OK, David, get a grip on yourself...no, not that way! Just relax, breathe, and repeat to yourself, "The one you have is 3 years old...the one you have is three years old". Uh-oh..it ain't workin'!

Checkrate/Likes What?!?! When I read this my jaw dropped. I have a Miele LaPerla and it certainly doesnt close by itself nor does it open by itself. Heck it doesnt put the dishes in or put them away for me. I cant imagine how much they are going to want for the added bells and whistles. My front panel is stainless steel and it doesnt have a problem with fingerprints. I have to tell myself my dishwasher is fine and I dont need another...and at $2300 smackers I will be either bitchslapped or sent to see a shrink if I even think about another Miele dishwasher. There is nothing wrong with what i have. yeah I have to keep telling myself that....

Checkrate/Likes So the new G xxx2 generation finally made it across the pond - almost took a year. Wonder, when the new Bosch dishwashers will make it to the US. Here's more info on Miele: CLICK HERE TO GO TO logixx's LINK

Checkrate/Likes *Bosch ist anders* Bosch has a factory in the US, and the models here are not always copies of what is sold in Germany. My 2001 machine did not look like any of the models sold in Germany on Bosch's website in 2001. Perhaps the difference is only cosmetic, but they are not directly imported here from Germany, unlike Miele. One big difference is that few Bosch dishwashers here, perhaps none, have offered a salt dispenser. Reason? It's common here to have a house water softener, i.e. anyone who wants soft water has already installed it, rather than implementing it at the dishwasher level, so all those Mieles here running in homes with house water softeners have salt dispensers that have never been used. Bosch outsells Miele here by a wide margin, for two reasons: 1. More affordable entry level machines that compete with brands like KitchenAid in price. 2. Whether or not it's true, the perception that it's easier to find repair service here for Bosch, versus Miele, because there are more Bosch machines sold in the US. People here are reticent to buy a machine for which they may encounter difficulty finding a qualified repair service near their home (or rather SEVERAL authorized repair companies so there is some price competition).
