Miele 2026 Dishwasher: A Complete Guide by Series and Models

Miele Dishwashers: Choosing the right model completely transforms your daily kitchen experience—not just in terms of cleaning performance, but also noise levels, energy consumption, convenience, and how long it takes to unload the dishwasher. In this guide, we compare all Miele dishwashers available in 2026, highlighting their technologies and differences across model lines, so you’ll know exactly which one fits your kitchen and your lifestyle.

At Electro Selecció, we advise customers in Girona and the surrounding region on these types of decisions every day. We explain what sets each model apart and when it’s worth upgrading.

Why is a Miele dishwasher different?

Miele tests its dishwashers for 5,000 wash cycles—the equivalent of about 20 years of use with one load per day. This is evident in the materials, the performance of the spray arm, and the consistency of the results over time.

Three characteristics define the Miele product line as a whole:

AutoDos with PowerDisk — The automatic detergent dispensing system. One PowerDisk disc provides enough detergent for about 20 wash cycles: just install it, activate the system, and the machine dispenses the exact amount for each cycle based on the level of soiling. No measuring, no waste, no forgetting.

AutoOpen — The door opens automatically a few centimeters at the end of the cycle. The moist air escapes, and the dishes dry on their own. In models with a fan-assisted drying system, the result is dishes that are cool, dry, and ready to put away right away.

Energy Class A — All G 7000 models meet Class A, the highest rating under the current labeling system. A fully loaded dishwasher uses less water than washing dishes by hand.

Freestanding or built-in Miele dishwasher?

Before choosing a model, you have to choose a format—because it determines the installation right from the start.

Freestanding (SC) — The appliance has its own front panel. It can be installed in plain view, between cabinets, or at the end of a countertop. Easier to install, easier to replace. The G 7600 SC AutoDos model is Miele’s best-selling freestanding dishwasher in its category.

Semi-integrated (SCi) — The kitchen panel covers the door, but the controls remain visible at the top. This allows for visual integration without losing direct access to the controls.

Miele Fully Integrated Dishwasher (SCVi) — The most popular model in designer kitchens. The cabinet panel covers the entire door, including the controls. From the outside, no appliance is visible—only the seamless continuity of the cabinetry. The KnockToOpen feature allows you to open the door with a gentle tap, without a visible handle.

Active Series — Miele Dishwashers with Front Loading

The Active line meets your basic needs with Miele’s high-quality construction. It does not include AutoDos; detergent is dispensed manually, but it features the same filtration system, the same drum materials, and the same long-term reliability.

G 5590 SCVi SL Active — 45-cm built-in model. Designed for small kitchens or as a second dishwashing station. Flexible basket, interior LED lighting, and IntenseZone feature.

G 5650 SCi Active Plus — 60 cm semi-built-in model. Touch controls, IntenseZone (lower right zone with higher temperature for pots and pans), program information display.

G 5680 SCVi Active Plus — Fully integrated, 60 cm. The most affordable built-in Miele dishwasher in the lineup. Same performance as the previous model with full integration. Available in stainless steel and with a custom panel option.

If you’re looking to experience Miele quality at the lowest possible cost, the Active line is the right place to start.

G 7000 Series with AutoDos — Smart Miele Dishwasher

The most significant upgrade. The G 7000 models feature AutoDos with PowerDisk: the Miele dishwasher automatically dispenses the detergent for each program. They also include Miele@home connectivity—you can start or monitor the cycle from your smartphone—and meet Energy Class A standards.

G 7080 SCVi AutoDos — Fully built-in, 60 cm. The best-selling model in the G 7000 series. AutoDos, AutoOpen, Miele@home. 3-level wash path with 3D MultiFlex (top rack configurable for cutlery, small glasses, or baby bottles).

G 7085 SCVi XXL AutoDos — XXL size (extended interior height) with capacity for 15 place settings. The ideal choice for large families or when your everyday utensils are larger.

G 7600 SC AutoDos — Freestanding. Available in CleanSteel stainless steel, glossy white, and obsidian black. The only freestanding Miele dishwasher with AutoDos. For those who want all the G 7000 technology without any installation work.

G 7920 SCi AutoDos — Semi-built-in with an obsidian black finish. Sleek, touch-controlled design. For kitchens where design matters just as much as performance.

With K2O — The Most Comprehensive Miele Dishwasher

K2O models feature an automatic mineralization system: the dishwasher dispenses specific minerals during the final rinse to ensure spot-free drying on glass and stainless steel. The result is dishes and glasses that come out dry, shiny, and residue-free—without the need for additional rinse aid.

G 7792 SCVi AutoDos K2O — Fully integrable, 60 cm, obsidian black. AutoDos + K2O + Miele@home + Class A. The most comprehensive combination in a standard format.

G 7980 SCVi AutoDos K2O — The Diamond model in the lineup. CleanSteel/Obsidian finish, KnockToOpen (handle-free opening with a gentle tap), all active technologies. The most advanced 60-cm built-in Miele dishwasher.

G 7985 SCVi XXL AutoDos K2O — XXL model featuring all Diamond technology. For fully equipped kitchens where the dishwasher is the centerpiece of the cleaning system: 15 place settings, K2O, KnockToOpen, Class A. The ultimate choice.

G 7658 SCVi XXL AutoDos — XXL without K2O. A mid-range model between the standard G 7000 series and the Diamond models. XXL capacity with AutoDos and Miele@home, without the mineralization system.

How many place settings do I need?

Capacity is measured in place settings (the European standard for a complete table setting: plate, glass, cutlery, and cup).

• 45 cm → serves 9–10 people. For couples or kitchens with limited space.
• Standard 60 cm → serves 13–14 people. The most common size for families of 3–4 people.
• 60 cm XXL → holds 15 place settings. The taller interior allows you to load large pots, baking sheets, or tall pitchers without having to rearrange the basket.

A fully loaded dishwasher performs better than one that’s only half full—both in terms of cleaning performance and energy consumption.
