Smeg dishwasher's I did not know much of anything about them, until I got mine. I have to say it's the best new dishwasher I have ever used.My dishwasher has a speed cycle and it will clean everything is 45mins.Power,Fast and Clean dishes The attention to detail in them is what I really like. Now they have released a monster dishwasher that can clean and dry in 16 mins. The motor is almost 3 H.P. 2000 watts .. Here is the link I think Smeg is trying to knock on Miele door.

The 2000 watts is the power draw of the pump including the integrated heating element, then there are two additional 1800 watts heaters - so 5600 watts in total.
Miele's built-in Pro dishwashers even heat with 8500 watts plus approx. 400 watts for the pump - but they don't give cycle times for heavy soil. |

A jury here awarded more than a few persons tens of millions because they ordered "hot" coffee and then claimed the beverage caused them harm. With that in mind it wouldn't be long before an American user of such a powerful DW claimed he or she suffered harm (burns?) and sues the pants of SMEG and or everyone involved with the purchase.

Well, an adult should no better, but a small child could be badly burned through no fault of his/her own. A near silent dishwasher could be a ticking time bomb for anyone not in the KNOW of its quick heating and flash drying.
Even my Miele has caught a couple people off guard as they think it isn't operating and go to open it too quickly. Malcolm |

The hottest this dishwasher gets is 158F during the final rinse. Many dishwashers get as hot or hotter - LGs in Europe have a 176F final rinse.
I looked up the manual for the HygienePlus built-in from Miele. The final rinse can be adjusted up to 200F. The dishwasher can be opened, but the display will show a warning that must be confirmed.
As for self-opening doors: most brands here have that now - even the 200F Miele Pro that I talked about (though the manual makes it sound like the door only auto-opens once the internal temp has dropped to 153F after the drying cycle).
As far as suing goes: I wonder if I could sue Whirlpool because I cut myself on the sharp knives that I loaded into the bottom rack's cutlery basket, while climbing inside the tub to touch the exposed heating element immediately after the drying cycle...

Nice units imo but I implore them to never start any model numbers with MA. |

Hey Wes and everyone GoooDmorninG,
I had a GAGGENAU / SMEG built Dishwasher in 1992 Until 2001. It was cold water feed and one of the best water sounding machines that I ever heard. Cleaned very well and yes the times are longer. This is where I learned early on salt systems , and cold water running machines. If today I bought a european dishwasher it would be cold water feed machine. I like the advantage of true temps. This machine was before Gaggenau went with Bosch/ Siemens systems. At the last job was a pro Miele, cleaned in 10 min at a temp at 130 f .. basically coffee cups and small dishes. The calrods in the pics below can tell you it can heat fast up to 170 f. Also a cold water feed pro dishwasher at or display at the store. Both dishwashers had the upper rack funnel water feed systems, which can be a bit noisy. Thanks for posting Wes. Darren k |

I have used Bosch,Miele,Asko and a few other high end dishwashers and none of them save for Miele cleans as well as my Smeg dishwasher. The one thing that makes the Smeg the winner is cost.Smeg dishwashers are not cheap but when compared to Miele I have a dishwasher that is made just as well and cleans great every-time and does not take all day to do it. My Smeg is also my cabinets,I load the dishes in there and leave them until I am ready for them. I got it because it was such a good deal but I never expected to like it so much and even having a filter in it it is never dirty. |

was not as crazy as it sounds, you need to look it up. The woman who sued was given coffee 60 degrees hotter than what is usually made at home. She was not the only one burned, many others were scalded and required medical attention as well. How bad could a coffee burn be? Consider as a passenger and while parked, she placed the coffee between her thighs to add sugar and burned her crotch severely. Medical bills and lawyer fees, ate up much of her award. They made the coffee extra hot at the drive through thinking people were going to have it later on as it was in no way drinkable at the temperature at the point of sale.
As my lawyer uncle once said of jury decisions, "they are composed of twelve average people who came to the same conclusion...most likely you would have too presented with the full story as they were." |

Carries Smeg dishwashers. The price is more competitive with Bosch than with Miele. Where are these things made? CLICK HERE TO GO TO whirlcool's LINK |
