ᐅ Ikea METOD / Dishwasher

Hello,

unfortunately, Miele is a bit above my budget.

Of course, I could also choose a semi-integrated unit and simply cut the front panel. I just don’t know how it would look then... since it wouldn’t have a finished edge anymore...

A covering strip is included for the edge. To ensure a neat finish, I would recommend cutting the front with a circular saw or having it cut by a carpenter.

Hello,

it’s a pity Miele is a bit over my budget.

Unfortunately, the internet doesn’t offer any real bargains either.

In our case, the local dealer was up to €150 (around $160) cheaper than the best online price, while for most other manufacturers it’s the other way around.

At the end of last year, Miele discontinued the 5000 series and replaced it with the 6000 series. Since they still offer spare parts for a long time, you can safely opt for a discontinued model.

In terms of quality, I find Miele dishwashers better. In consumer tests, they scored slightly lower compared to BSH appliances due to their somewhat higher water consumption. However, you can read in dishwasher test reviews that BSH devices sometimes have issues despite their low consumption figures. My mother had poor experiences with Neff and Siemens, both part of the BSH group, with appliances lasting only 5 and 3 years respectively. They were mostly used on intensive (70°C (158°F)) and occasionally automatic programs (55–65°C (131–149°F)) and despite good maintenance (regular use of machine cleaners), they became clogged. In 2004, she replaced her nearly 40-year-old Miele G50 from 1966 for ecological reasons. It was still washing dishes back then! You won’t find that kind of longevity anywhere today.

So, it’s worth asking local dealers—you might find a good deal.

My Bosch has been running for 10 years, mostly on the automatic program.

Hello,

how about this solution?
