I would also love some advice. We purchased a Miele a year ago (Model G2000Vi -G2470SCSF for $1,699.00) and I just assume that it wasn't a very good dishwasher. But it seems to be getting worse and now I'm wondering if something is blocked or not working. We don't have cloudy water, but it does not do a good job of getting food off. Any food gets enameled onto the dishes, and worst of all, any glasses put in the upper rack get bits of dried food baked onto them. It's as though all of the food particles in the dishwasher just wind up drying hard onto the glasses in particular, and it is harder to wash them when they come out (and they look disgusting) than if I just washed them by hand. I'm pretty sure it's not our water, because when we moved in, we used a 30 year old dishwasher that was already there for two years and our glasses came out great. Is there something blocking the spray somehow do you think?

Aw, thanks! In case you can't tell, I am pretty excited about them (so silly, they are FLOORS). Tomorrow they are being covered to protect them - It will be a few more weeks until I get to stare at them again.

The counter top was not cut from the same slab I viewed. The fabricator said they had switched to a "different run" and needed to substitute. at the time I thought it was odd that I needed to drive several hours to view a slab only to have them do a last minute ( and I mean last minute) substitution.He sent a picture but it was difficult to judge. Another viewing would have meant another long trip to his shop and a delay that would mean we would have to move twice since we close on this house next week. I wasn't even sure why I made the first trip if he was just going to use the "current run" on hand anyway. I know I made a huge mistake allowing a substitution via e-mail but the fabricator came highly recommended by my KD and in all my years of looking at granite counter tops I have NEVER seen such a level of color deviation from a typical Venetian Gold slab. In my experience up to this point, i felt I could be happy with any Venetian Gold that fell within the normal range of color variation. I guess what I'm trying to determine is if they may have substituted a defective slab since the dark caramel color does not appear to be clear thru the stone. It looks as if someone smeared a brown glaze across the entire surface. It looks terrible against my white cabinets. It is heartbreaking since virtually every other part of the house has exceeded my expectations.

Angie, Thank you so much for looking that up for me! Its good to know its not just me. The trimline company rep said the install looked pretty good A windowrama tech is coming out to check the hooks and if it was made wrong then a trimline tech will be sent out - but trimline doesn't make the trim it seems and the windowrama salesman is claiming he never told me it would look like the samples on display - which he did when I asked and even if he didn't shouldn't the sales staff let the customers know they are getting something different from the display model? I am getting really frustrated now!
