I bought I Miele in conjunction with my Wolf Stove, Gaggenau induction top. etc. It was a nice present for me.....

Just let down that for the $ to performance ratio...it really is not like a good 'ole American unit where u load and go. U will not believe how I have to align everything so nothing is blocking it.

I have read the same things about having some ~gunk~ which actually makes the soap work better, etc. Done with it....at some point, when I really get sick of it, it's going out the door or I may move before then. Having not grown up in a household with them, I thought I was the idiot . I even have the thing hooked up to the hot water source even though if I recall, it says cold is fine since it heats the water....
