Miele G 2670 SCVi 24 in. Built-in Dishwasher

Pros: Very quiet. Great cleaning once it was up and running.
Cons: Major hassle getting a defective-on-arrival unit up and working.

We've just completed a major kitchen renovation which involved a significant upgrade to all our appliances. After just a few weeks, the Miele has proven to be a royal pain. At install, the unit was discovered to be dead-on-arrival. A new control ...

Pros: Extremely quiet, excellent washing, fantastic drying (even my plastics), racking very adjustable.
Cons: expensive to buy, expensive to install, expensive soaps and drying agents.

After repeated problems with a double drawer dishwasher the Miele dishwasher was recommended to us by our salesperson. Because the machine is a little more complicated to install than a standard dishwasher, the bill to have it installed was a little high but luckily our salesperson let us know ahead of time. At first, we were amazed at how quiet the machine was but were a little unhappy with the results. The dishwasher left some foggystains on our glasses and certain cycles did not dry. I called Miele customer service which was very helpful and gave us some user tips. Turns out I was using way too much soap. Plus Miele recommends a special drying agent for their brand. We buy it off of the Miele web site now.

The dishwasher is amazing now and we couldn't ask for more. You can spend less and still get a good dishwasher but I still believe in the end, you get what you pay for.
