Miele Dishwasher Reviews
The Miele Dishwasher brand is globally very well-known and popular, particularly in Europe.
Miele was founded in 1899 by Carl Miele and Reinhard Zinkmann. It
has always been a family -run and -owned company that has made high
quality products its first aim. The slogan "Forever Better" (German="
Immer Besser") implies a continuous pursuit of improvement of product
quality.
All their products undergo a high-standard quality testing that is unique.
The company claims that a Miele dishwasher is "built to last 20 years
on average" (Miele.co.uk) and their standard warranty is 2 years. Some
machines come with a 5 year parts and labor warranty. They are not
cheap dishwashers but they are a worthy investment in the long run.
PC Updatable Machines
This feature is another invention to keep the Miele dishwasher
electronics and technologies up to date and working efficiently. With a
special PC program a Miele technician will be able to adjust and alter
program sections of a dishwasher. Future detergents, newest energy and
water efficiency features and all sorts of parameters can be altered in
the future just by updating the software!
Special Anti - Leak System
The double waterproofing system helps to minimize water damage:
every Miele dishwasher has a water sensor placed on the sealed
underside and an automatic safety valve on the incoming water hose. If
there is a leakage somewhere, the water flow is immediately stopped and
the pump activated to drain out water from the machine. This way water
spillage very rare.
Q-Acoustics
Miele applies a unique noise emission control system. A Miele dishwasher is one of the quietest during operation.
The "Q-Acoustics" rating system reaches from class Q1 (quiet operation) to Q5 (quietest operation).
Features:
- Very quiet : 41 - 48 db (Q Acoustics)
- Very energy-efficient (rated A)
- Very low water consumption 10 - 13 L (depending on model)
- Stainless steel tub
- Some models have a unique cutlery tray
- Big and flexible loading capacity
