Miele's 60 cm built-in dishwashers are full-size machines for a standard kitchen run. Every one takes 14 place settings and has an A energy rating. Most are fully integrated and sit behind a furniture door that matches your units. You can browse those on their own as Miele 60 cm fully integrated dishwashers. There is also a semi-integrated model with a CleanSteel fascia, which keeps the control panel on show above your own door.

Capacity and efficiency are the same throughout, so the real choices are about loading, noise and convenience. The simpler models have 5 programmes, a programme selector and either a cutlery basket or a cutlery tray. Most others use the 3D MultiFlex Tray, which adjusts to take ladles, whisks and small cups and frees up space in the baskets below. Every model opens its door automatically at the end of a cycle to help the dishes dry. Noise levels run from 45 dB down to 41 dB, and many models add an ExtraQuiet programme for running in the evening in an open-plan room. Most also offer QuickPowerWash, a quicker cycle for everyday loads.

Further up the range you get up to 12 programmes and Miele@home app connectivity. Several models have AutoDos with PowerDisk, which dispenses detergent automatically and adjusts the amount to the programme and how dirty the load is. Some add an interior light. The top models have touch controls with a TFT display and Knock2Open: knock twice on the door and it opens slightly on its own, which helps in a handleless kitchen.

Start with your housing. Choose a standard-height model, an XXL model for a taller space, or the sliding-hinge model if your furniture door needs to slide as the dishwasher opens. Then decide whether you want the door fully hidden or a visible control panel, and whether automatic dosing, app control and quieter running are worth moving up the range for.
