We will cover the main features, types and models of Miele dishwashers. The review contains detailed information about the functionality, prices, sizes, pluses and minuses - everything that can affect your choice.
The company, founded in 1899 as a company for the production of separators and churns, today amazes the customer with its assortment. In addition to refrigerators and other large and small household appliances, dishwashers are also manufactured under the Mile 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 the dishwasher is 60 cm, height - 81 cm. They can be installed in a standard kitchen unit niche, with a tabletop height of 81 cm.
XXL - machines of impressive dimensions: a standard width of 60 cm and a height of 85 cm. They provide an additional 4 cm, which increase the upper box. These fully built-in dishwashers are suitable for large families.
Narrow only the width, which equals 45 cm, differs from the standard machines. These PMMs are suitable for installation in small kitchens. With small volumes, they retain the full functionality inherent in other Mile models.
PMM Miele Features
What distinguishes these German dishwashers from the technology of other brands? Consider the main advantages and unique technical aspects in their design.
Patented 3D Pallet
This compartment is used for washing cutlery. The intelligent pallet of the retractable type can be adjusted in any of the directions: in width, depth and height. Unlike analogues - adaptation to any hopper loading. Thanks to the 3D-pallet, you can load volumetric utensils - cookers, beaters and more. You can put tall wine glasses in it.
3D + instrument tray
Another patented invention from German designers: 3D + pallet. It also provides for adaptation in width, depth and height. A folding comb allows you to place the largest items - kitchen knives and salad bowls. Side elements are adjustable and also make it possible to wash tall wine glasses.
Box construction
You don’t always want to delve into the operating instructions to read how to load dishes into the dishwasher. Miele boxes feature a special FlexAssist marking that helps you intuitively understand which parts can be adjusted. Additionally they are indicated by special characters. One movement - and the box changes its configuration. Also in the holder for wine glasses FlexCare gaskets are provided, which carefully and reliably fix fragile dishes made of glass or crystal.
QuickPowerWash
The new program, designed for the use of UltraTabs Multi tablets, provides high-quality washing and drying of dishes with moderate pollution. It only takes 58 minutes. Special pills take a couple of minutes to dissolve and begin to act. As a result, the sink corresponds to the class A declared by the manufacturer.
Important! The Mile technique is not cheap, so special tools for it cost money. So, the UltraTabs Multi tablets mentioned above on the official Miele website in Russia cost 1,900 rubles. The package contains 386 g total 60 tablets (3x20).
Knock2open Option
Do not spoil the elegant kitchen interior with simple handles. To open the dishwasher, two light taps on the front facade are enough. The unique mechanism provides independent opening of the hopper door by 10 cm.
BrilliantLight - hopper illumination
After opening the door in the hopper of the machine, 4 LED lamps alternately light up. The interior of the box is filled with a pleasant shining light. A lighted work area is not just a whim, it is a useful option that facilitates loading and unloading dishes.
AutoOpen for perfect drying
Drying of the highest class is provided by the option that automatically opens the hopper door upon completion of all processes. Fresh air entering the chamber completes the drying process. You can not worry about the countertop - it will not get steam from the machine, because this is prevented by special ventilation.
Water consumption 6.5 liters
This is one of the most economical indicators in the world. This is due to the fact that PMM uses only fresh water for washing.
Important! When washing dishes manually (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 up to 10 times water.
EcoTech Heat Exchanger: A +++ -20%
Not so long ago, the labeling of the energy efficiency of household appliances suggested the highest class A. Later, classes A + and A ++ appeared. It would seem that the highest energy class A +++ has become the crown of progress. But here, the Germans surpassed themselves and created models that are more effective than the known classes. Since a class with four pluses does not yet exist, this technology has been 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.
Accessories selection
It is sometimes difficult to find spare parts for repairs to cheap dishwashers, and at Mila they provided their customers with all the necessary accessories. Without leaving your home, from the company's official website you can order accessories for installation and connection.
Special attention should be paid to such accessories for dishwashers, as baskets for appliances, inserts into the boxes for glasses and plates. If desired, you can even purchase an insert for washing the cappuccino machine (device for whipping milk).
Advanced self-diagnosis system
As in any modern technology, all processes are controlled by very sophisticated electronics. The manufacturer cares about the consumer, so the reliability of the structure is on top, and the troubleshooting system works like a clock.
If in the PMM Indesit, Ariston and other budget machines you can meet up to 40-50 possible failures, then the "Millet" in the manual contains only 6 error codes. In this case, the errors F01, F02 do not notify about the failure of parts and assemblies, but about a problem with the water connection or filter blockage. This once again confirms the high quality and reliability of German technology.

User reviews
Here is the customer review left on YandexMarket.
Sofia, Moscow
Bought a couple of months ago G 4203 SC, I’ll say right away that this is a very spacious dishwasher. Plus in quiet work. The costs of water and electricity really became lower when they completely abandoned manual washing. There are also disadvantages:
- you have to bring the pots to a shine on your own - no jet can replace normal friction with a sponge;
- there are smudges on glassware, although I may sin on the design, but on the rinse aid - I don’t know, in general;
- not enough programs.
But at the same time, I still love her. I especially like the individual selection of settings for myself, albeit with instructions in hand. On a turbo dryer, everything dries for about 15 minutes, although sometimes it would take more time. There are five of us in the family, so we do one load a day - that's enough. In general, I am satisfied with the price compliance with the declared quality.
Dishwasher "Mile" - the standard of modern kitchen appliances. With the highest quality, the assembly “bites” the price a little. But if the budget allows, it is better to overpay for quality than to pour this money into repairs later. And about which dishwasher is the most reliable, we wrote earlier.
