I just haven't been able to fathom how to upload the videos and send them over, I'm getting messages about files being to big if I email them, and via 'we transfer' it's telling me it will take 6 hours to do. I'm just not techy minded enough to understand the problem, so if anyone else wants to take my place as a video reviewer, you're more than welcome. No 50 of detergent etc for me
Anyhoo..........
How have you found the Miele dishwasher overall?
I'm pretty impressed. It washes effectively at a much lower temperature than my previous make, I used to regularly run a 75 degree cycle to get the contents properly clean. I have been alternating between the 55 degree normal cycle and the eco one, both have been fine. It's well built and due to the fairly standard no-frills styling it looks and fits in fine with my Miele washing machine that sits next door. The front fascia etc looks like it will remain looking good after a few years hard use, and not turn a pale yellow/grotty colour. The inside fittings look well made and very robust. I'm still struggling to find the perfect stacking method, as the baskets etc are different to my previous machine. I guess it's just trial and error. I initially thought the machine was small inside than my previous one, but now I've had it for a while I think it's just how I stack it. Overall, it washes very well, economical and very, very quiet.
Is there anything in particular about the Miele dishwasher which impressed you?
How quiet it is. We have an all open plan layout on the ground floor of our house, so it's a big deal to have something that's quiet in operation (unlike our kettle!). I also absolutely love having the salt dispenser in the door. So much better than taking out the bottom basket and virtually climbing inside the machine to fill up with salt.
Would you recommend the Miele dishwasher to your friends/family? If so, why? If not, why not?
I would recommend it, yes. Now I'm getting used to stacking it so it fits as much as I can squeeze in it, I'm impressed with the build quality, the saving of energy/water whilst still getting stuff clean, and the fact that it is so quiet. I've been more than happy with my other Miele appliance over the years, and I expect the dishwasher to last just as well.
