- Does it need a custom door panel?
- Yes. It is fully integrated, so a cabinet-matched door panel and a pocket handle are fitted over the front. It is not a freestanding machine.
- How quiet is it really?
- Miele rates it at 42 dB, which is among the quieter full-size dishwashers. Most owners run it in the evening without noticing it.
- Does it handle hard water?
- Yes. It has a built-in water softener, so you add dishwasher salt and it conditions the water. That protects glassware and improves cleaning in hard-water areas.
- What is QuickIntenseWash?
- It is a fast cycle for a full load of normally soiled dishes. It trades a little drying time for speed, so it suits dinner-party turnarounds.
- How does it compare with a Bosch?
- Bosch rivals are usually quieter on paper at the top end and offer deeper smart-app features. Miele counters with its water softener, AutoOpen drying and a long service life.
- What is in the box?
- The dishwasher, the MultiFlex 3D cutlery tray and the usual hoses and fittings. The custom door panel and handle are separate.
