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.
Dishwasher Poll [Survey Monkey]
I discovered the 2 DW thing when we rented a house in the OBX. When you are entertaining large groups they are very practical. I wish I had 2 in my home.
I’m just finishing a renovation. Put in stainless GE Profile DW, Range and Micro. Can’t wait to move back in and try them out! Also bought a Liebherr fridge because I needed a tall but narrow unit. Spent around 6K for all of ’em. Couldn’t see spending 15-20K…
anyone used LG? We are considering these as an option… Any info would be appreciated.
Once, we moved into an apartment (a rental) where everything was either entirely broken or only worked 50% of the time: the refrigerator, the stove, the phone line, the hot water heater, the heat, and half of the electrical outlets were worthless. The ONLY thing that worked was the dishwasher. I’ve resented the mere existence of dishwashers ever since.
My last apartment had a forty year old, harvest gold dishwasher (don’t remember the brand) that worked great with whatever brand of bargain soap I threw in it. It was loud to the point I couldn’t think with it on, but I would just turn it on when I was going out. I can’t understand the fixation with high end appliances.
11:56, i think this is a very interesting thread.
not only am i getting “real” consumer reports to help me with the key decisions i need to make regarding the renovation of my house, but also it provides an interesting peak into the socioeconomic profile of this blog (and and this community overall — real and virtual). conclusion: some people have too much time and money on their hands. two dishwashers! give me a break!
I own an Asko – It’s the best appliance I’ve ever owned. (and I’ve had Kitchen Aid, Wolf & Viking.) I think it’s from sweden.
Unbelievably quiet, beautiful (no visible controls) and a 7 year warranty. Dishes come out perfect. Love it.
we have a bosch and i love it. all of our appliances except the stove are bosch and i’ve been very pleased with the line. while i suppose that it is on the smaller side it is very quiet, the dishes always come out clean and i have never noticed a smell (i use meyers detergent which is lavender scented so maybe that’s why).
I’ve read that architects and shrinks have the highest % of depression and job dissatisfaction (altho dentist kill themselves more often). Now I know why. Miele vs Bosch? Really?
