Cleaning and everyday performance
The combination of 14 place settings and 10 programmes gives this dishwasher the flexibility expected for regular family use. QuickPowerWash is designed for normally soiled crockery in 58 minutes, which is useful when clean dishes are needed promptly.
AutoDos with PowerDisk is the defining convenience feature. It dispenses detergent automatically for the selected cycle, reducing measuring and helping make routine dishwashing more hands-off. The Half Load function also allows smaller loads to be run without waiting for the appliance to be full.
Drying, loading and glassware care
AutoOpen drying automatically opens the door at the end of the programme to help improve drying. The 3D MultiFlex tray is intended for cutlery and smaller items, while its adjustable design can make room for taller wine glasses in the upper basket.
Brilliant GlassCare and the padded FlexCare glass holder are designed to treat delicate glassware gently. ComfortClose adds a practical touch by allowing the door to open and close smoothly and remain in the position selected.
Noise, efficiency and connected control
At 43dB(A), the appliance is specified as quiet enough to suit open-plan kitchens and households that run cycles later in the day. The supplied information also describes EcoPower technology, consumption feedback and a hot-water connection intended to reduce energy use in suitable installations.
Miele@home adds app-based control, AutoStart scheduling and voice-control integration. These features should appeal to users who want to monitor and manage dishwashing remotely, although they add complexity beyond a conventional dishwasher.
