Hi Everyone! I was wondering how many of you have a Miele Dishwasher. A La Perla or any other one for that matter. How do you like them? Do they clean well? Are they better than your previous dishwashers? Thanks so much. Ray | ||

I have a Miele LaPerla dishwasher. Going on 2 years now with no problems what so ever. Cleans well and is quiet as a mouse. Love my dishwasher. Very versatile and economical to run. It replaced a Fisher and Paykel dishdrawer. The dishdrawer gave up the ghost after 3 years. I would never recommend a dishdrawer to people that cook and entertain alot. The concept is neat but thats where it ends. Thats my opinion and my experience with it.

Ray the LaPerla can go either way with water connection hot or cold. It has in inline water heater that boosts the water temp rather quickly. Each cycle on the dishwasher has its own spray pressure. Pots and Pans and Heavy aka Intensive has the most pressure. The Pots-n- Pans cycle also heats the water to a blazin 170F. It cuts thru anything I can throw at it. Even has a cycle for Starchy foods like pasta and potatoes. It changes the cycle parameters to the soils. I have been finding myself using the Sensor Cycle alot lately. The dishwasher monitors water temp and how soiled the water is and adjusts the cycle to only use what it needs. It also has a water harness sensor and a water softener. With the upcoming ban on phosphates in detergents coming up in 2010 and having moderately hard water I have a machine that will adapt. I can also tell the dishwasher what type of detergent I am using...Powder...Gel...2in1 tabs 3in1 tabs. Plus this machine can be updated by computer by Miele to give new cycles and change out settings. I have the CleanAir system in my Miele where it will pull the air into the baseplate of the dishwasher and circulate it up the back and around a channel so the steam inside condenses on the walls. It uses the residual heat to dry the dishes. It dries very well. But you have to use a rinse aid to make it work properly. Racking on this machine is extremely versatile. The lower rack plate racks pop out and so does the upper rack plate rack. The upper rack raises and lowers plus if I wash tall items in the top rack I can take out the silverware tray rack. I can also take the upper rack out and put my oven racks in the dishwasher.Refrigerator shelves go in as well. There is a cycle for that as well. CU has never rated a Miele LaPerla. I wish they did it would really give the other brands a good run. Cost wise made us go youch but in the end this is my dishwasher that will last a long long time. Its a 20 year machine and if I am around long enough to see it last that long we would have gotten our moneys worth out of it. | ||

I have one too
if not as flashy looking or as sophisticated as Mike's sadly. I have had it for 6 1/2 years and it works well, and its quiet too, although a little more noisy during the hot air drying cycle. There is some hot air comes out of the little grill on the front whilst drying - but it is certainlynot a stream of steam. Like most European dishwashers mine works on cold fill. Results are usually good, and I particularly like the cutlery tray rather than a basket - friends laugh at me as I am so particular in sorting the cutlery to load it. Al | ||

Malcolm. I think they are usually stocked in appliance stores. At least in our area. You would just love to see the Miele showroom. It was such a nice experience. Looking are every single appliance, every model was just great. Then having dinner cooked in all these appliances was the best. | ||

Mike, THanks again for the detailed positive information on the La Perla IIRC, the new La Perla's door opens by itself at the end of the cycle to emit any steam to aid in better drying | ||

Hi Chris, Thanks for all the great feed back. Does your door open at the end of the cycle to aid in drying? I know they are expensive....but I think they are worth it. They range in price between 2149.00 and 2349.00 here in Jersey. I guess that would be the same throughout the states? Thanks, Ray | ||

Mine is connected to hot water. Also there is no steam that escapes when it is drying. With granite coutertops they put the mounting screws into the sides of the door opening. It took about a week to get it installed. It was in stock in NJ so it was trucked up to Massachusetts. We paid about $2200 for it and we bought when the state was giving us a sales tax holiday. Installation was a killer...the guy charged us $300...if I knew how easy it was to install i would have done it myself. The dishwasher comes with an adapter for the water intake since the water valve is connected to the inlet hose at the source. The one thing that you will notice is how quiet the machine is. When we first got it Scott was standing right next to the dishwasher and I had started it about a half hour before he came into the kitchen. He asked me if I was going to start the dishwasher and I said its already on. He said to me...no its not I told him open the door...he did and was he surprised at what he didnt hear...the noise. It will be about the quietest dishwasher you will ever experience. | ||

Kitchaid is not what they used to be. And although Bosch was rated number 1 by Consumer Reports, the users comments were not favorable at all. It only got a 2 1/2 star rating out of 5 by 39 users. I would go with the Miele. | ||

But those dishwashers are made by Miele, therefore the question is a legitimate one. I'm not excusing or accusing, just asking about it. Thanks for the answers people. | ||

I never heard such a thing! I hope they have nothing to do with those ovens. History tells Miele founders created a place where workers loved to stay and many other facilities for them but who knows? War times were very hard times... | ||

yes we have the cycle reducer "opti-saver" on the bosch it goes from 108 min down to 71 and I do use it, but if it is a really full load (Bob) it needs the full time. | ||

I guess we are pretty lucky in NJ. WE have the showroom in Princeton, and can get any Miele appliance quickly. Although, I believe NY is the same. Gregory, That was quite impressive that the tech was able to do over the phone. I know in our area that a tech can come out to your home for this. | ||

I have the immediate predecessor (2005) to the "LaPerla", the G898SCI "Premiere Plus". Back in 2006, it retailed for $2,395, but I purchased a end-of-model-year floor model for $1,295. It's been nothing but wonderful. It's needed one repair which was handled under warranty. It does seem to clean better with Miele tablets, than some powders. The gel detergents make the unit create foam excessively it seems, so I avoid those. I fully expect to get 20 years out of this unit! | ||

the top cutlery rack just seems a little fussy to me. laying out all the knives and forks just so. I always thought the first step in loading one of these is to insert your butt plug nice and tight. | ||

My Baby...
G1225SC brought May this year :) In my opinion it was worth every penny of the £500 (trade price!!) it cost me. It has the turbo option that reduces the cycle times considerably without compromising performance by using more water /higher pressure(I never use it tho- it goes on time delay overnight to take advantage of cheap rate overnight electricity). It also has a setting for combined tablets designed to optomise their performance- ive never used it as Im a believer in seperate products but it adds to the cycle times. 9/10 times I use the sensor cycle- normally runs approx 1hr 40 mins- as I said brfore time isnt an issue with my useage pattern lol!.
