Need new dishwasher - Bosch 800 series vs Kitchenaid vs Miele?
Comments (28)Most or all miele dealers carry no inventory ! So, being saddled with a non seller isn't really plausible. Mom , it's very surprising that your DISHES weren't dry if you used rinse aid. Things like tupperware lids, sippycup tops, and other plastic items with channels that collect water and have no mass - yes. But those things are often wet out of heated dry makes too. My MIL had a GE with a huge element in the bottom and all the grandkid's stuff was wet after a cycle in that too. Yes, Bosch has cheaper models, but feature for feature (which is hard to align) they are pretty much the same price. Now, factor in that Miele makes all of their units in Germany with astronomical wage scales, ships them here, and pays duty on them, makes me wonder if the Bosch stuff made in rural NC is a tad over priced in comparison ? Still fine machines - and yes, I have a couple of them as well as Mieles....See MoreMiele vs Asko dishwasher
Comments (4)Miele are great dishwashers. Machine quality is great, but dealers are a mixed bag. Be careful from whom you purchase! I bought five Miele appliances and paid the owner of the "high-end only" store to install them. For the installation fee payment, he asked for a personal check made out to him (should have been a red flag right there, but I missed it, my own fault). When I called several months later with a question, the store then claimed their records showed they had sold but not installed my appliances!! It was only when I mentioned the cleared and paid personal check, the other contractors on site as witnesses, and the photos of the owner in the process of installing in my kitchen, that they began to backtrack, that perhaps they had done the installations... At this point I'm going to visit another Miele dealer in person and inquire whether there is a way for them to "adopt" me as a future service customer. I prefer not to rely on the original dealer, whose business ethics and integrity I now distrust. Of course, this doesn't mean other Miele dealers are that way, but I've recently steered friends away from Miele because your long-term relationship with the local dealer is so important for future services and maintenance. At least others can learn from my mistake, and do some in-depth research on the dealers, their customer services, and their integrity, before they spend the thousands it takes to buy modern appliances. Best of luck to you!...See MoreISO Dishwasher Feedback: Bosch vs KA vs Miele
Comments (10)I had a KA that I liked a lot new, but it got louder in the relatively short time we had it (a year?). Had another older one here when we moved in -- hated it. Replaced with Thermador (Bosch) when we reno'd the kitchen (it had been locked in place by a tile counter). We also added a 2nd DW, so I've had two of them and been very happy with them. I looked at Miele but liked the racking in Thermador and Bosch better for our dishes and I could get two of them for the cost of one Miele. I recently replaced one of the units (9 yrs old?) with a Bosch Benchmark. I'd been waiting for an excuse to replace that one -- we think something got sucked into the pump a long time ago, it didn't drain, but the repairman fiddled with it and got it to drain (warranty call) and it had been running very loudly ever since. I was told it was a user issue and they wouldn't replace the pump and I didn't push it. I just decided I would replace it sooner. And try one with the new third rack. I love how quiet the DW is and I love how well it cleans. Most of the time, it dries as well as the old one which is good or better than any other I've ever owned, but doesn't melt plastics, even on the bottom rack. What I'm still adjusting to is the changes in the racking -- the third rack and the difference in the tines. That happens with every new DW -- they just keep changing the layout of the racks. Sometimes it seems great and mostly I like it, but I still reserve the right to get frustrated when I have to think harder and move stuff around more than I care to. Not sure of the details of the model you are considering, but Bosch offers at least three different baskets plus the third rack. If you are used to carrying the basket with you to unload, you might care more about which basket you get more than someone who uses the third rack for flatware. We are using one half of the silverware basket most of the time for flatware and the third rack for utensils, prep bowls and smaller measuring cups. I probably need to try using only the third rack and see how that impacts loading the lower tack, but I haven't yet. I can't give you any reason not to buy the Bosch -- but do be prepared to be friestrated form time to time while you figure out the differences in how you need to use whatveer you chose....See MoreDishwasher comparison, Bosch SHV878WD3N vs Miele G 4998 SCVi AM
Comments (0)Both are panel ready dishwashers with 3rd rack feature, Miele is $100 more expensive so price is not much of a factor. I've seen from reviews that Bosch is super quiet with 42db, I think Miele is 46db, that's been main concern otherwise I've heard that Miele has a better construction. Does anyone have this Miele model? Any help is appreciated! https://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/SHV878WD3N.html vs https://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/G4998SCVI.html...See MoreRelated Professionals
