Top Tier Dishwasher Brands: Bosch vs. Miele | Which Cleans Better?

[@cd231]

Amongst ALL of the many folks that make attempts to provide objective information and real data on appliance performance and selection criteria (including Consumer Reports), you folks are the best.. So grateful that I found (and subscribed to) your channel! Keep up the great work!

[@YaleAppliance1]

Wow, thank you!

[@stevenk195]

I watch your videos because I enjoy your personality. Ya just seem like a cool dude that likes talking about appliances. Nothing wrong with that. Carry on...

[@YaleAppliance1]

Hey thanks....

[@chickenmuffin]

Right? I want to go for beers with Yale appliance man. He should narrate audio books.

Hands down the best source for unbiased information. I wanted a good dishwasher that performs and has low service needs, so spending an extra ~$500 was not an issue for me to get a premium model. The Bosch 800, at about $1200, was the perfect fit for me, as the high-end models were not worth the extra ~$400+ premium for the very few features they add. Any product could fail, but hedging your bet is where value is added. My last washer was a Thermador, lasted over 16 years with zero issues and still ran when replaced. It was all scratched up and I wanted a new one with a remodel I did.

Thank god this guy is back!

[@YaleAppliance1]

Good to be back...How were things while I was gone.

@@YaleAppliance1 No appliances failed so I guess it was pretty good LOL!

I have two Miele dishwashers and both have issues with the racks rusting. Yes, rusting on the racks. The repair company naturally does not follow up on getting replacements out of warranty and at my expense. I'm happy to do that but no luck.

I believe any problems people have with Miele are user error. I’ve had mine more than 20 years. For many years it ran two or three times a day plus several rinse & hold cycles. Now it gets run at least once a day usually with 1 rinse & hold. It has never malfunctioned. I’ve also never had one disappointing result. The feature that doesn’t get emphasized enough is the built in water softener makes it work better because soft water cleans better, and it makes it last a lot longer because it doesn’t get caked with mineral deposits. Also the soft water makes it possible to wash fine glassware without worry. I just always was it in a separate cycle on the china and crystal setting with a minimum amount of powdered Cascade Complete. The pods are too strong.

[@kennixox262]

Powdered detergent has proven to be superior in that the user can judge for themselves how much or how little to use. We use Cascade powder as well but even the cheapest store brand is just as good. Personally, I like the smell of Cascade. Personal preference. Liquids are not a good choice and neither are the pods. There was a time that I would buy the Miele tablets and cut them in half. Gave up on that and have equally good results with powder. The key is not to use too much powder.

[@Kindlyone777]

Nobody ever mentions the water softener feature. That’s in my opinion extremely important especially for so many with hard water issues. I have a water softener and I still can’t escape the hard water problems.

[@LactoseOverdose]

A big factor for us was that the Miele is a side mount and since our dishwasher was not between two other cabinets, it was not possible to install. Something we were never told about when we purchased.

[@chitrasubbu7397]

Hi, Great Video. I am planning to buy Bosch SHX78B75UC instead of the Miele 7000 series. My cooking is mainly steaming, and in a week stir fry once. so with this in mind do you think I have made the right choice? As both machines are excellent. I chose bosch. I live inCaliforniaa.

[@sebastiantevel898]

Thank you for the well thought out comparison. On a different note LG reliability is striking though. Considering also their products have plenty of features, it is definitively an option to consider.

[@evamarkiewicz2865]

I'm really curious if you could help me decide between a higher end Bosch or Miele. I live in a humid and tropical climate where mold is a continual challenge. Our most recent dishwasher suffered a terrible mold bloom and stopped working - this is a common problem in our state. I would like to find a dishwasher with an auto open door feature and the BEST drying. As well as very very hot and powerful cleaning. I'm considering the SHP9PCM5N Bosch and the G 7106 SCU XXL or G 7316 SCU XXL Miele.

[@YaleAppliance1]

The Benchmark has CrystalDry, but not an auto opening door......All the Mieles have the Auto open.

[@Kindlyone777]

Do all Miele’s have a water softener?

[@Kindlyone777]

Which one has a water softener?

[@johninbernal4876]

What about Cove?

[@LlyleHunter]

I think that if Miele provides repair service in your area they’re the safest bet.

[@YaleAppliance1]

Depends on the area....

[@joeyscleaninglady2877]

Why are bosch appliances (outside their diswashers)_ now made in china? They have an irvine address on them but all are made in china seems like a big thing at this price point.

[@YaleAppliance1]

Hmm...not sure. Bosch is made in the US. Miele in Germany (they are opening a plant in the US), Profile, made in the US, KitchenAid made in the US, LG made in Korea, but they will be manufacturing more in the US...Other than Zline and a few mongrel brands

[@chickenmuffin]

Everything is made in China nowadays.

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

@@YaleAppliance1How do you feela bout Dacor appliances? Versus SKS?

[@YaleAppliance1]

Haven't sold Dacor since they were acquired by Samsung.....

[@joeyscleaninglady2877]

@@YaleAppliance1 the microwaves (convection) and ovens are made in china also possibly the fridges... The Dishwashers in the US. Beko aka blomberg seems to be a bettery value

[@9873459872134234]

Nice video, but what about efficiency? I don't think I heard even a single word on this important topic.

[@YaleAppliance1]

Yeah....Forgot that one. Both brands are efficient, but nice catch

[@simedogz]

The only thing I care about is cleaning performance. I do not care about noise or Bluetooth or any other nonsense. Which is the best model? Thanks

[@chany888]

Before I used Bosch, this year change to Miele, next must be Bosch

[@07negative56]

Why so?

[@keepingprivate3400]

not always easy to understand the person speaking, a bit frustrating,
