Miele Dishwasher, White, G693-4SC+, at John Lewis
Free 2 year guarantee. A triple A-rated full sized machine which will take care of your washing up for many years, not least because it has a PC update facility enabling a Miele engineer to upgrade your machine in accordance with any new developments in technology. The Eco Sensor 2 system offers 2 automatic wash programmes which continuously adjust the temperature, programme duration and quantity of water and energy used to achieve the best results most economically.

The dirtiest of dishes will benefit from the Intensive 75C wash, but the gentle Sensor wash will protect delicate china and glassware. The Turbothermic drying system is quick and energy efficient because it mixes warm air from the last rinse cycle and outside air and expels it by fan.

The patented Miele cutlery tray sits at the top of the machine; each piece of cutlery is washed in its own slot, achieving better washing and drying results and also allowing you to wash stainless steel and silver cutlery in the same load. The top basket is adjustable and it has foldable plate supports in the bottom basket.

Miele machines are famous for their longevity; their machines are designed to have a lifespan of 20 years in normal use, and Miele will therefore guarantee to carry spare parts accordingly.
