Cleaning and capacity
The 14-place-setting interior is well suited to family-sized loads and frequent entertaining. Ten programmes provide flexibility for different washing needs, while the adjustable 3D MultiFlex Tray creates more adaptable space for cutlery, small items and taller glasses.
QuickPowerWash is a useful convenience feature, delivering a stated 58-minute cycle for normally soiled crockery. AutoDos also reduces the need to measure detergent for every wash by dispensing it automatically from the integrated PowerDisk system.
Drying, noise and efficiency
AutoOpen drying allows the door to open at the end of a cycle, while SensorDry adjusts the final rinse temperature according to the load and surrounding conditions. These features are intended to support effective drying while helping to limit unnecessary energy use.
At 43dB(A), this dishwasher is notably quiet on the available specifications and should be comfortable in an open-plan kitchen. The stated A energy rating, EcoPower technology, load sensing and 8.9-litre ECO water consumption also point to a strong efficiency profile.
Everyday operation and smart features
The ComfortClose door is designed to remain in the position selected, which can make loading and unloading easier. BrilliantGlassCare and the padded FlexCare glass holder provide dedicated support for delicate glassware.
Miele@home adds WiFi connectivity, smartphone control and compatibility with voice control or smart-home systems. Autostart and EcoFeedback offer further convenience, although buyers should be comfortable with the ongoing use of the PowerDisk dispensing system.
