Miele Futura Classic Series G4205SCSS

STOP
I own the Miele 2142 which was rated #1 last year by various sites and Miele is still ranked highly with JD Power, as one quickly learns while sitting interminably on hold with their tech support department. Don't be fooled. The Miele replaced a Bosch which ran without issue for over a decade. Miele is the worst appliance I have ever owned. It does not clean well, it does not dry, it requires regular "desoaping" with white vinegar as well as cleaning the trap and refilling the Rinse Agent frequently. The service department is inane, and tries to explain that the poor drying is because it is "European and Green." Please, spare me. And now back to putting a fan in front of the overheated unit while waiting for a technician to come (one week is the soonest) for the third time this month. If you're reading this review, it is likely you can afford any dishwasher model but that is no reason to pay more for an inferior product with substandard support. Pay less and get more. Horrible.

How do I love my Miele?
Let me count the ways. I mistakenly ordered the model without the cutlery tray. I got on the phone and less than 24 hours later every piece necessary to (easily) install the tray was delivered to my doorstep.
I LOVE the tray. I LOVE the quiet machine. I love how it doesn't have a handle to bump my leg. I love how the water sprays around inside and how clean and spot free my dishes are. I love the many ways we can load all of our odd size dishes, pots and pans.

This is without a doubt the very best dishwasher we have ever owned.

Nice Machine
The Miele 4205 replaced a 17 yearold Miele G575 model.

This time we went with the cutlery tray option (instead of the removal basket) and really love this feature. Cutlery no longer get jammed together and get really clean. Tray also holds about 12 complete place settings (spoons, knives, forks) as well as serving utensils.

Sound, virtually silent. In fact, the only time we hear it is right at startup when the machine clears the water pump (2 seconds) and then it's silent.

The bottom "plate and pots" rack is the best on the market. We prefer the plate holding configuration of Miele vs the all slanted tongs used by other manufacturers. Must less risk of plates banging each other. Bonus is that without the basket, the 4205 now holds much more than the G575. The bottom rack configuration was the deciding factor to go back to Miele vs a similar featured Bosch.

The mid-tray for glassware, however, is not as good as on the G575. Happy to...
