hey everyone I thought that I would post a few pics of my brand new baby. The installers have to come back to install the front panel since it wasnt shipped with the dishwasher. Just an FYI in case someone notices. So here are the pics.
Up first is what I replaced...A Fisher and Paykel dishdrawer that lasted less than 3 years.

I ran the dishwasher thru a rinse and hold cycle since it has a sensor that senses the water hardness and sets the machine to the water hardness. The cycles and the display are very easy to maneuver thru and there are options that can customize each cycle. I am now looking forward to cooking again and loading her up and see what she can do.

Beautiful.
What about the front? It seems like it's missing the door panel.
we want to see it fully loaded.

loaded up

This is what the dishwasher cleaned up. It did a FANTASTIC job. I did find out I need salt for the softener since the dishwasher told me to get some.

I like how the cutlery rack leaves all the space in the lower rack open for dishes/pans. A beautiful machine!

I think this is the best dishwasher made

It is easy to load, extremely efficient, and is completly silent. I have used it several times in the Miele showroom in Beverly Hills, I have an older version "Premiere Plus" in the Lab and an older mid upper end model at home.

I agree this dishwasher is very well made and built like a tank. One thing I noticed was you know how when you make scrambled eggs and the tip of the spatula always seems to never come clean....well the black spatula that I use never came completely clean in the dishdrawer. In the Miele ...not a trace of egg and it looks brand new. One thing I noticed was the fact that the dishwasher alternates between arms and that according to the manual each cycle has its own spray pressure. But still the machine is silent during its cycle.
The dry cycle pulls air into a network of chambers to condense the steam out of the load. What surprised me was how fast it dried. In less than 29 mins the entire load was dry and even the plastics were dry. The dishes were quite hot still when I opened the door.

This dishwasher is proving that the money we spent for it was worth it so far. My old dishwasher I thought was cleaning ok but this one is making me say wow everytime I use it. Last night I used the Normal cycle with the Miele tabs and my glasses used to have this film on them...now they look new. HTe silverware looks like they were hand polished. I am liking the silverware tray,. So far it has been easy to load and even though the racks do look smaller than an American dishwasher they hold alot.
Now I am getting the itch for the Mega Miele washer and dryer. I wonder if its called the Miele Itch. I can see why the brand is respected the way it is.

Miele trades on the fact that their appliances are just unsurpassed in terms of both quality and performance. I've never been disappointed with any Miele product so far. That dishwasher will also last so long that you'll get rid of it simply because it's no longer in fashion. They're stunningly well built machines.

Actually, that is one of the only downsides to Miele, you will have the machine so long that you'll get bored of it. Our 8 year old Miele washing machine still looks and acts like new. They're built like a piece of industrial equipment and will outlast anything else on the market.

I dont think I will be getting rid of this dishwasher...its far from boring thats for sure and I was told that if the dishwasher died it would go on my grave. Plus i dont think that we will be buying a new one for a long time.
