Wow, that's a beautiful machine----and so high-tech, too! I love that the screen reads MAIN MENU. I live in a rural part of the upper midwest and don't get to see many Miele appliances. I think the only Miele dealership in the state of Minnesota is in the Minneapolis area. Do you have Miele laundry appliances, too? I know they are considered to be 'state of the art' machines.

Super nice
I don't think I've seen that model, which now means a stop at my local dealer. Did you install it yourself? I did mine with the help of a friend and it wasn't as difficult as I was presuming, a little fiddling with the drain connection and it set to go. Haven't heard a peep from it in over 5 years now. The best Miele deals have always been during local "Home Shows" at the exhibition grounds, you can buy their show display models and often they'll have extra show specials of a particular model brought in much less than the regular price. That's how I got mine. I've never regretted buying it

beer glasses
Congrats. What a beautiful machine! Interesting thing about the "Beer Glass" cycle, that sounds like an admission that the rinse agent is still in the glass and that we all drink it!! I always thought of rinse agent in the final rinse of a DW as kinda nasty! But hey, something has to kill you eventually. Also don't like fabric softeners in the last rinse... why would you want that chemical touching your body? I usually stick softener in the "Bleach" portion of a dispenser in those machines (usually F/L) that dispense the contents of that space into the first rinse. What other KEWL features does this model DW have? Interior light fan-forced dry? | ||

Cost Hi Rod, How are you going? I've havent been price shopping since they released the new models. If you dont mind me asking, how much did that set you back? Its such a great looking machine. Is it the 80cm model? Have a great weekend Nathan | ||

Thanks everyone
As I write this message I have the dishwasher running on sensor wash. The machine has touchscreen glass control panel, its taller than the previous series by 1 cm, its now 85cm tall. You can now wash up to 31cm dinner plates and with a special insert up to 35cm. There is a cycle called 'without upper basket', this is where you can take out the middle basket and wash vases and baking trays. The machine retails for AU$3299 which is expensive, but since I work in the appliance business I got a great deal.

Pricey dishwasher Good Lord, that would be a $2558.00 machine in USD! I really hope you really DID get a good deal, for that kind of money, I'd want the machine to grow legs, load itself, then put them away afterwards. | ||

Well some of us like to pay for decent, good quality appliances. I think it's worth every penny... If the machine did everything itself then it'd spoil the fun of using the appliance IMO. Jon | ||

Guys If the machine that did it all could be made, there would be a waiting list miles long to get one. Talk about the ultimate stepLOL! | ||

There's no need to buy to TOL or mid range Miele DW..go for the lowest priced one like I did. Other than custom fronts or hidden controls the machines are more or less the same for half the cost. Besides..you don't want it camoflouged where no one see's it particularly yourself. That's the G865 behind Ben with the Turbothermic option and the plain old cutlery basket rather than the tray, which you can buy separately and add on later. I still figure the tray is more fuss than the basket and blocks the top spray arm from cleaning the top rack as well as when it's not in there.

taxation
In many countries people are buying with what we consider GROSS salaries and paying a V.A.T (Value-added tax)that is built-into the price of the goods. Here we pay income taxes up-front and get NET (after-tax)salaries. In most places here, the tax must be separately disclosed and charged. Not necessarily so elsewhere. This is why we (the US) attract and look so good to incoming laborers. The "CASH" (off-the-books)economy is basically untaxed and there is more buying power if you are not feeding Uncle Sam or payign a VAT that is unavoidable. to antoher country and get a job earning undeclared "Cash" we would be paying the equivalent of income taxes and sales taxes, but VAT taxes hidden in the price of the goods. Even illegal immigrants effectively pay taxes in that system. So I'm guessing if we increased our pices by about 40% (or what we give Uncle Sam) the closer our price would be to what the world ends up paying for goods... I had realtives come visit the US and bought a German washing machine from here to ship it back to Europe. Without the V.A.T it looked VERY inexpensive to them, even with shipping costs. | ||
