Are you curious about the hype surrounding Miele’s new G7000 series of dishwashers?
Or maybe you want some help choosing the right model for your kitchen? In this video, we'll
give you a complete overview of Miele’s newest G7000 models and share some inside
scoop as to what makes these dishwashers the best on the market.
Hi this is John with Designer Appliances, New Jersey and New York's premier appliance
showroom.
With the introduction of the G7000 dishwashers, Miele unveiled a ton of exciting new features.
This year, Miele introduced stunning new interior and exterior designs, including upgraded baskets,
more robust handles, and sleek grey accents for a more modern look.
Miele also introduced AutoDos - the world’s first automatic detergent dispenser. One of
our favorite things about the G7000 dishwashers is that Miele’s AutoOpen door is now standard
on all of these models. This feature automatically opens the door at the end of the wash cycle,
and releases excess steam, enhancing the overall drying process.
Before we get into more of the new features, let’s start by breaking down the style options
available to you.
The first stylistic choice you have is whether you’d like the control panel to be visible
or not. When visible, the controls are located at the top front of the panel. When hidden,
you can find the controls at the top of the dishwasher, under the countertop. This allows
for a more clean and sleek look.
You can also select a finish of either fingerprint resistant stainless steel or panel-ready.
The panel-ready option allows you to install a custom wood panel to match your surrounding
cabinets.
For ultra-modern kitchens, you can even select a dishwasher with the knock-to-open feature.
This allows you to open the dishwasher by knocking on the door panel and eliminates
the need for a handle.
Now let’s break down the different models available in the G7000 series. Miele model
numbers look confusing at first, but all you have to do is look at the first two numbers
to figure out which series the dishwasher belongs in. The G7000 dishwashers are broken
up into four series: the G71, G73, G75, and G79. The rest of the numbers simply indicate
style options we just talked about like control type and finish.
Although all Miele dishwashers are built to last with the same high quality components,
as you go up in series, the dishwashers get quieter and you'll pick up additional wash
cycles. You'll also gain other convenient features like added racking flexibility.
Let’s start with the entry-level G71 models. These dishwashers are a huge upgrade from
Miele’s older entry-level models. They include a number of important upgrades like the AutoOpen
Door feature, which allows the door to open at the end of the wash cycle. This helps to
ensure your dishes come out bone dry. If you're in an area with hard water, these dishwashers
also have a built-in water softener to improve wash performance and prevent annoying watermarks.
Miele’s G7000 series also introduced the 3D Multiflex Third Rack, which is an improved
version of Miele’s signature third rack design. Unlike the third rack in the previous
generation, the left-hand side can be pushed from side to side to create more space for
tall items like wine glasses. The right section of the tray can be adjusted up or down to
create more space for large bowls or plates. The middle of the third rack now extends deeper
to allow for small bowls and ladles to fit. We found this design to be more user friendly
compared to the old design.
Both the G71 and G73 models have what Miele calls Extra Comfort Baskets. In addition to
the 3D Multiflex Third Rack, the Extra Comfort Baskets include customizable upper and lower
baskets with hinged and fixed spikes to protect your dishes and keep them in place. The upper
rack also features a 5-cup rack with silicone elements to keep your wine glasses safe.
These dishwashers are also much quieter than previous models, clocking in at about 43 decibels.
Best of all, the QuickIntenseWash Cycle helps to clean your dishes in just 58 minutes. And
unlike other brands quick cycles that sacrifice hygienic performance for speed, Miele’s
use of high temperature in conjunction with a Miele tab or PowerDisk, Miele’s QuickIntenseWash
is one of the only dishwasher cycles to have received 3rd party recognition of their hygienic
performance.
And speaking of high temperatures, the Miele’s SaniWash cycle is capable of reaching temperatures
up to 160 degrees, 10% higher than most competitors, which makes it ideal for killing bacteria
and viruses, something on everyones mind these days.
The G71 dishwashers utilize a total of six different wash programs, including Normal,
Rinse and Hold, QuickIntense Wash, SaniWash for added sanitation, Pots and Pans, and China
and Crystal.
Next up we have the G73 models. The G73 series dishwasher is actually the model I chose for
my recent kitchen remodel. It had all the features I wanted plus the black panel looks
great next to my Miele range. These dishwashers include many of Miele’s most sought after
new features, including AutoDos, AutoStart, and wifi connectivity.
If you have any questions about this model in particular let me know if the comments
below.
AutoDos is an automatic detergent dispenser that releases the perfect amount of detergent
based on the cycle you choose, as well as how dirty the dishes are. Miele's PowerDisc
rests in the AutoDos compartment on the inside of the dishwasher door. It holds enough detergent
for about 20 cycles, which means you can run your dishwasher for weeks at a time without
having to stop to refill. After 20 cycles, you’ll have to replace the PowerDisc
for $12.99.
But not to worry - you can still use your favorite detergent or pods in these dishwashers
if you’d prefer.
The G73 dishwashers come with all of the wash cycles included in the G71 series, with the
addition of the extra quiet mode, which operates at 40 decibels, a self cleaning mode known
as Appliance Care, and a Grates and Filters setting specifically engineering to deep clean
cast iron grates and greasy vent hood filters.
You can even pre-set your cycles for the week with AutoStart. This allows you to go about
your day without having to wonder whether or not you turned the dishwasher on. You can
pre-set your dishwasher to run at the same time every night, or a few times a week, depending
on your needs. This feature takes the guesswork out of cleaning your dishes and makes sure
you’ll always have sparkling clean dishes even if you forgot to run the dishwasher before
bed.
The G73 models are also wifi compatible, which means you can start your dishwasher remotely
via Miele’s iPhone and Android apps. The app will also send you notifications when
it’s time to unload the dishwasher, refill the Rinse Aid, or replace the PowerDisc.
A common concern we hear from customers is that they’re nervous to trust all this new
technology. The good news is that the G7000 series has been available in Europe for over
a year. So Miele has had plenty of time to work out any and all kinks before making this
technology available in the U.S. market.

Up next are the G75 models.
These dishwashers feature a total of 12 different wash cycles. This includes all of the modes
we mentioned earlier, with the addition of the water-saving Economy mode, Energy Saver
mode, Sensor Wash, and a whisper quiet Extra Quiet Mode. Unlike the 40 decibel extra quiet
mode we mentioned earlier, this version of the program operates at only 38 decibels.
However, it does add an additional half hour to the cycle time.
The G75 and G79 models also feature upgraded MultiComfort baskets, which include even more
flexibility to protect everything from small bowls to large glass bottles.
When upgrading to the Miele G75 models, you’ll also enjoy the added perk of LED interior
lights. These lights help to brilliantly display your sparkling clean dishes.
And finally, we have the most high-end dishwashers in the G7000 series - the G79.
The G79 models are without a doubt the best dishwashers Miele has to offer. These revolutionary
dishwashers include all of the features of the lower-end G7000 models, with the addition
of Miele’s M-Touch controls. These controls work like an iPhone, allowing you to swipe
between different cycle options and features. Our co-founder Metin has the G79 series dishwasher
in his new home along a second high end dishwasher. His family refuses to use the other dishwasher
and calls the G79 the “good dishwasher”. If you have any questions for Metin about
why him or his family love the G79 so much, let him know in the comments below.
The G79 dishwashers also come with a 5-year warranty, as opposed to the traditional one
year warranty that protects other models. It’s also one of the quietest models on
our list, operating at only 38dB.
But what if you want a Miele dishwasher but don’t have the budget to invest in one of
the newest models? Let’s take a second to talk about the Miele G4228 Classic, which
is a great alternative to the G7000 dishwashers.
This dishwasher gives you that classic Miele cleaning performance and longevity without
all the bells and whistles. Although this is an older model, it still gives you many
innovative Miele features. While not the quietest Miele dishwasher on the market at 46 decibels,
you'll likely notice an improvement if the dishwasher you’re replacing is 10 years
or older.
This model has all the basic wash cycles you'd expect in a modern dishwasher: normal, pots
and pans, sanitize wash, express wash and rinse and hold. You'll also have the option
of going with a traditional silverware basket or you can upgrade to Miele's cutlery tray
for added storage space. The only downside to this model is that you won’t enjoy many
of the luxury features that are available in Miele’s newest dishwasher. But if you’re
looking for a budget friendly dishwasher with great performance and reliability, consider
going with the G4228 Classic.
Each household has its own budget, priorities, and volume of dishes based on the unique needs
of their family. But no matter which model you choose, you can’t go wrong with a Miele
dishwasher.
Miele makes the best appliances in the world with one singular objective: to make your
life easier and hassle-free.
We hope this video has given you a great starting point when it comes to selecting the right
Miele Dishwasher for your home. Which feature in the G7000 series stands out most for you?
