Miele Touchtronic Platinum 24 in. Built-in Dishwasher

Pros: unbelievably quiet
Cons: higher than average price

When we needed to replace our 15 year old GE dishwasher one year ago, we knew that getting a quiet dishwasher was our top priority. The GE was so noisy that we avoided using it while we were in the house. When we started shopping, sales people ...

I'm sure any new dishwasher would have been quieter than the clunker we were replacing. Most upscale models are pretty darned quiet these days, and this one certainly is. We decided to go for this Miele model because it was attractive, and because we ...

Cons: Everything mentioned in the review above.

Pros: Superior cleaning, Quiet, Water & Energy Efficient
Cons: Upper rack a little tight

Each time I have moved I have bought a new dishwasher. I have owned Bosch and Fisher & Paykel in the past. Both are good dishwashers but the Miele is far superior in many ways. The built in water softener cleaned off the white haze that had accumulated on my glasses from hard water. I feel the silverware tray on the top is worth the extra effort in loading and opens up space on the lower rack. I appreciate not having to pre-rinse my dishes and still have excellent cleaning results. Wine glasses fit securely, though the upper rack is a little tight. I would definitely buy another Miele dishwasher.
