The Great Dishwasher Debate: Miele Versus Bosch
As we’ve mentioned before, we’re currently subletting a desk in an architecture office, so occasionally there’s some chit-chat going on around us that is relevant to the blog.

As we’ve mentioned before, we’re currently subletting a desk in an architecture office, so occasionally there’s some chit-chat going on around us that is relevant to the blog. Yesterday, a debate broke out about dishwashers. After the dust settled, the clear consensus was that Miele (pictured) is far and away the best, both in terms of function and noise. Bosch, which is what we have in our kitchen, was the second choice. So that got us wondering what readers experiences have been with these two brands as well as other, less expensive ones. We’ve set up a brief poll to see what brand readers have at home and encourage people to discuss the pros and cons in the comments section.

Should add, filters very easy to clean and not necessary to do often.
Note re smell in Bosch dw, the filter is not self-cleaning. check your directions and clean both filters. also good idea to buy a dw cleaner in the market and run it thru periodically. have had 2 different bosch models, open kitchens, very quiet,love them.
Have Miele in my new condo… have not tried it as we have not closed yet: Brownstoner – can we have a post on Ovens now.
i have GE profile SS DW, oven, micro, fridge. got 20% back from sears when buying 3 or more plus rebates from GE. maybe spent $5K total. everything looks great and works fine.
second dw would be great for glasses when entertaining – maybe one of the half size drawer types. I don’t have one, but can understand the appeal.
We actually have a higher end Maytag (is that an oxymoron?) that was highly rated in consumer reports. It’s relatively quiet and cleans very well (even if we leave chunks on the dishes when loading).
Love my Miele…..love it…so quiet, energy efficient.
I think the only time you need 2 dishwashers is if you keep kosher and want to wash the meat and dairy plates separately
If somebody ran two dishwashers at the same time in my building, the plumbing would back up to the third floor.
Does anyone here actually live in an old building in Brooklyn?
We have a GE Profile dishwasher and it’s fine. We have a Bosch W/D, and it’s fabulous… except that the washer doesn’t get the clothes clean and the dryer doesn’t get clothes dry. OK, the dryer problems may or may not be because it’s a condensation dryer. (argh.) But the washer? Should an expensive washer get your clothes cleaner than a cheap one?
Also, are there any other options, besides Bosch, for a condensation dryer?
