Key Features:
Innovative water feed for washing with less water
In the ECO programme, water consumption is reduced to 8.9 litres. This also means that less energy is required to heat the water, and you benefit from an energy-efficient dishwasher. The water savings are achieved through the intelligent design of the supply system and a new, highly efficient filter system. Additional insulation reduces thermal losses and thus the amount of energy required to heat the water.
Save up to 50 % electricity1
All Miele dishwashers can be connected to a hot water connection at a temperature of up to 60 °C. In the Gentle programme, this reduces electricity consumption by up to 50 % and running times by up to 10 %. In the ECO programme, the energy consumption of the dishwasher is reduced to as little as 0.45 kWh.
The most economical Miele dishwashers ever
Miele dishwashers rely solely on fresh water and can wash crockery with as little as 6 litres2of water in the Automatic programme – much less than the contents of a sink. With this feature, Miele has reduced water consumption by 85 % over the last 30 years. Electricity consumption has also been reduced to new all-time lows: in the ECO programme, Miele dishwashers achieve energy consumption values of just 0.83 kWh2.
Exclusive to Miele Insured against water damage3
A function you can rely on: to protect against water damage3, all Miele dishwashers come with the Waterproof system. Should this system fail, resulting in damage to your home, you are covered for any consequential damages – for a period of 20 years. We bear the costs for any property damage according to the terms and conditions for the water protection system. It is essential that installation has been carried out correctly by a qualified fitter.
Very quiet
Miele dishwashers operate at particularly quiet noise levels from 41 dB (A)2 and deliver consistently perfect results. This is significantly quieter than a normal conversation.

Why Buy?
A Smarter, More Efficient Way to Handle the Dishes
If you want a dishwasher that works quietly in the background, saves water, and fits seamlessly into your kitchen, this Miele is well worth a look.
The QuickPowerWash program means you're not waiting around for clean dishes — even on busy nights, you can get a full load done fast without sacrificing results. It handles up to 10 place settings comfortably, so it suits a couple or a small family with ease. And with a 4.5-star water rating and just 9 litres per cycle, it uses remarkably little water compared to washing by hand — saving you money on bills over time without any extra effort on your part.
Because it's fully integrated, the dishwasher sits flush behind a cabinet door that matches the rest of your kitchen — no visible controls, no mismatched panels, just a clean, uninterrupted look. Miele's reputation for reliability means this is an appliance built to last well beyond the average, making it a genuinely smart long-term investment for your home.

- You're conscious about water usage and want to keep bills low
- You need quick turnaround on dishes during busy weeknights
- You're after a compact 45cm option without sacrificing everyday capacity
