Miele’s reputation for designing virtually indestructible products dates back to its infancy in the late 1800’s. Today, Miele as a brand, is renowned for quality, ease of use and durability; all of which the G6620BK dishwasher has to offer in abundance.
This brand new freestanding model, featured in a modern classic white, offers a very practical 13 place setting, housed in a specially designed, 600mm x 600mm x 845mm noise reducing casing, making it a suitable candidate for even the most modern kitchens. The newly designed basket section features height adjustable holders and coloured FlexAssist and FlexCare sections.
These coloured sections are clearly marked with small icons, to easily identify areas with flexible options allowing you to configure the basket exactly to your requirements. This system guarantees that even the most fragile glassware and delicate tableware is safely nestled in a soft silicone holder; preventing cracking or breakage. Everything really has its place inside this machine.
The G6620BK is Miele’s most economical dishwasher in its history, boasting 85% less electricity and water usage than their earlier designs for dishwashers. This dishwasher is so eco-friendly that it doesn’t just meet the EU standard A+++ energy rating, it surpasses it!
Miele have engineered the motor and casing to house its quietest motor yet with a barely-there volume of just over 40 decibels. To put this into context, this is roughly the volume of a conversation between two people!
Miele dishwashers have the ability to detect the load of crockery in the basket areas, using automatic load recognition; the machine then adjusts the levels of water and electricity accordingly. No more having to wait until the dishwasher is fully loaded before use.
All Miele dishwashers can be connected to a hot water supply of up to 60°C which can reduce power consumption by up to 50% whilst also reducing the programme running time by as much as 10%. If you run the ECO mode programme, the energy consumption of this dishwasher can drop to as little as 0.45 kWh.
When it comes to water efficiency and water safety, the G6620BK really has it all. It uses just 6.5 litres of water per cycle which can save a tidy sum on water consumption in the long run. It has the addition of ‘Perfect Glass Care’, which will leave even your finest tableware sparkling and watermark-free.
The G6620BK is one of the latest of Miele’s crockery care range and has a whole host of additional features to its predecessors. Particularly notable among these features are ‘Auto Open Dry’; at the end of the cycle the door will pop open automatically, allowing crockery to dry quickly, therefore preventing those dreaded water stains. Another feature is Miele’s water safety system, to protect against any potential floods or leaks, which can be devastating.
A 24 hour delay start feature allows you to operate the dishwasher whenever is most convenient and allows for use of cheaper (night-time) electricity tariffs. The countdown indicator displayed on the LED display, clearly shows you the remaining cycle time, ensuring you’re informed on its progress at all times.
Did you know that the ambient temperature of your kitchen or utility room and the size of the load in the dishwasher can hugely affect the drying process? Well, Miele have thought of that with their Sensor wash/Automatic programme, SensorDry. This ensures optimum drying results – even under conditions that are not ideal.
Miele have also created the brilliant “UltraTabs.” By selecting QuickPowerWash and combining with the specially designed UltraTabs you’ll achieve the best possible cleaning and drying results for normally soiled crockery in as little as 58 minutes. The specially developed tabs dissolve in 2-3 minutes, so the cleaning performance begins from the start of the wash programme.
In conclusion: This machine is as brilliant as I’d hoped it would be. Fantastic features, 20 year guarantee against damage from leaks, ultra-modern design/technology and its ability to adapt to a variety of situations makes this an asset to any family home.
