We will look at the main features, types and models of Miele dishwashers. The review contains detailed information about the functionality, prices, sizes, pros and cons – everything that can affect your choice.
The company, founded in 1899 as a separator and churn company, today impresses the customer with its range of products. In addition to refrigerators and other large and small household appliances, dishwashers are also produced under the Miele brand. The assembly of the highest quality and most expensive models is carried out in Germany, but in the Czech Republic and other EU countries they are assembled no worse.
Dimensions PMM Miele
The company produces PMM in three sizes:
- standard;
- XXL;
- narrow.
Width standard dishwasher is 60 cm, height – 81 cm. They can be installed in a standard niche of a kitchen set, with a countertop height of 81 cm.
XXL – machines of impressive size: standard width 60 cm and height 85 cm. They have an additional 4 cm, which increase the upper box. These fully built-in dishwashers are suitable for large families.
Narrow machines are distinguished from standard ones only by the width, which is 45 cm. These PMMs are suitable for installation in small-sized kitchens. With small volumes, they retain the full functionality inherent in other Mila models.
Features PMM Miele
What distinguishes these German dishwashers from the appliances of other brands? Consider the main advantages and unique technical points in their design.
Patented 3D pallet
This compartment is used for washing cutlery. The intelligent drawer tray can be adjusted in any of the directions: in width, depth and height. Difference from analogs – adaptation to any loading of the bunker. Thanks to the 3D pallet, you can load bulky utensils – ladles, whisks, and more. You can put tall wine glasses in it.
Tray for cutlery 3D+
Another patented invention from designers from Germany: 3D+ pallet. It also provides for adaptation in width, depth and height. The folding comb allows you to place the largest items – kitchen knives and salad bowls. The side elements are adjustable and also make it possible to wash tall wine glasses.
Box design
You don’t always want to dig into the instruction manual to read, how to load dishes in the dishwasher. Miele trunkings have a special FlexAssist marking that helps you intuitively know which parts can be adjusted. Additionally, they are marked with special symbols. One movement – and the box changes its configuration. Also in the holder for wine glasses, FlexCare gaskets are provided, which carefully and securely fix fragile dishes made of glass or crystal.
QuickPowerWash
The new UltraTabs Multi program provides superior washing and drying of moderately soiled dishes. This will take only 58 minutes. Special tablets need a couple of minutes to dissolve and begin to work. As a result, the sink meets the class A declared by the manufacturer.
Important! Miele equipment is not cheap, therefore special tools for it cost money. So, the UltraTabs Multi tablets mentioned above on the official website of Miele in Russia cost 1900 rubles. In a package of 386 g, there are only 60 tablets (3×20).
Knock2open option
Do not spoil the exquisite kitchen interior with plain handles. To open the dishwasher, two light taps on the front facade are enough. The unique mechanism provides independent opening of a door of the bunker on 10 cm.
BrilliantLight – bunker illumination
After opening the door in the hopper of the machine, 4 LED lamps light up in turn. The interior space of the box is filled with a pleasant shining light. The illuminated work area is not just a whim, it is a useful option that makes it easier to load and unload dishes.
AutoOpen for flawless drying
Top class drying is provided by an option that automatically opens the hopper door at the end of all processes. Fresh air entering the chamber completes the drying process. You don’t have to worry about the countertop – steam from the machine will not get on it, because this is prevented by special ventilation.
Water consumption 6,5 liters
This is one of the most economical indicators in the world. All thanks to the fact that PMM use only fresh water for washing.
Important! When washing dishes by hand (three meals a day for a family of 2-3 people), about 60 liters of water are spent. With a Miele dishwasher, you can save water by up to 10 times.
Heat exchanger EcoTech: A+++ -20%
Not so long ago, the energy efficiency labeling of household appliances assumed the highest class A. Later, classes A + and A ++ appeared. It would seem that the highest energy class A +++ has become the crowning achievement of progress. But here, too, the Germans outdid themselves and created models that are more effective than the well-known classes. Since there is no class with four pluses yet, this technology was called “20% higher than A+++”.
Also, the heat exchanger provided in the design helps to save other resources, providing washing and drying classes at level A.
Choice of accessories
It is sometimes difficult to find spare parts for repair for cheap dishwashers, and in “Mila” they provided their customers with all the necessary accessories. Without leaving your home, you can order accessories for embedding and connecting from the official website of the company.
Deserving special attention are dishwasher accessories machines, as baskets for cutlery, inserts in boxes for glasses and plates. If desired, you can even purchase an insert for washing the cappuccinatore (device for frothing milk).
Advanced self-diagnosis system
As in any modern technology, very complex electronics controls all processes. The manufacturer cares about the consumer, so the reliability of the design is on top, and the troubleshooting system works like a clock.
If in PMM Indesit, Ariston and other budget cars you can meet up to 40-50 possible failures, then Mile has only 6 in the instructions error codes. At the same time, errors F01, F02 notify not about the breakdown of parts and assemblies, but about water connection problem or clogged filter. This once again confirms the high quality and reliability of German technology.

User Reviews
Here is a customer review left on YandexMarket.
Sofia, Moscow
We bought a G 4203 SC a couple of months ago, I must say right away that this is a very roomy dishwasher. Plus quiet operation. The cost of water and electricity really went down when hand washing was completely eliminated. There are also disadvantages:
- pots have to be brought to a shine on their own – no jet can replace normal friction with a sponge;
- there are smudges on glassware, although maybe I’m sinning on the design, but I need on the rinse aid – I don’t know, in general;
- not enough programs.
But even so, I still love her. I especially like the individual selection of settings for yourself, albeit with instructions in hand. On a turbo dryer, everything dries for about 15 minutes, although sometimes more time would be needed. There are five of us in the family, so we do one load per day – that’s enough. In general, I am satisfied with the price for the declared quality.
Dishwasher “Mile” – the standard of modern kitchen appliances. With the highest build quality, the cost “bites” a little. But if the budget allows, it is better to overpay for quality than to pour this money into repairs later. And about that which dishwasher is the most reliable, we wrote to the wounde.
