Not had that one yet. Thanks for the warning.

We moved into our new apartment about 6 months ago and inherited a Miele
dishwasher that is probably the same vintage. The oven and microwave are
probably the same age and work really well but I'm very disappointed with
the dishwasher. It doesn't seem to hold as much as the Bendix we used to
have and doesn't always get things as clean as it should. We're planning to
redo the kitchen in the new year and a new dishwasher is on the list -
Fisher & Paykel 2 drawer, which suits our lifestyle better. In the
Australian summer I don't like leaving the dirty dishes in the dishwasher
for a couple of days until it's full. The Miele dishwasher doesn't seem to
have a rinse cycle only.
