Miele G1102SC
Price: £482
Score: 71%
Type: Slimline freestanding
If you?re tight on space but still need room for 9 place settings we would recommend this dishwasher as the best you could buy. This slimline model from Miele may be a scaled down version of its larger machines, but its performance isn?t compromised.
The Normal program, which lasted 134 minutes, gave very good cleaning, rinsing and drying results, and was reasonably efficient in terms of water and electricity usage. The Eco program gave excellent performance, but took 180 minutes to deliver clean crockery and glassware.

Miele G1232SC
Price: £800
Score: 71%
Type: Full-sized freestanding
This Best Buy stainless-steel machine gives even more compelling reasons why Miele should be at the top of your list when purchasing a dishwasher. Stunning performance on the 136 minute normal program leaves glasses sparkling and dishes pristine, although drying efficiency could be a tiny bit better.
The eco setting adds 40 minutes to the duration, but repays you in terms of energy and water consumption. It?s easy to load, and quiet once you shut the door, so it?s as pleasurable to use as any kitchen appliance can be.
