Which is the reason the Brits never entered the computer hardware market- they couldn't figure out how to make it leak oil.

my Miele has no controls on the face only on the top of the door which when closed is not visible
Right, i think that became more common, i seem to remember when we bought the one in NY back in 2006-07, there were far fewer units of that style. The Swedish one i liked was an Asko, but, as mentioned, the motor died and if the company hadn't stood behind it after the warranty period, i think it was a 2 grand part.
I'd also be curious to know if anybody uses a commercial unit in a residence- I like the idea of something that only has to run for a couple minutes. And they are built for abuse. I gather that it may be overkill and may be more complicated to install and maintain (in addition to the possibilty of not having a drying cycle- you see bartenders hand drying glasses, I assume for that reason).
We tend to take good care of our appliances, I prewash all the dishes and utensils before putting them into the dishwasher, so no food crud is processed in them. I also keep the unit immaculately clean, inside and out- a bit OCD, but where food and surfaces are concerned, I'm pretty compulsive.

My wife always gives me a hard time about how much I clean the dishes before I put them in the dishwasher. Having spent the formative years of my youth washing dishes in restaurants in order to make some cash, I know what a dishwasher is going to remove and what it won't, and what it will bake on the dishes during the dry cycle. My wife thinks the dishwasher is a combination dishwasher/garbage disposal, but I know better.

And why in the world would they say that? In order to brag about how great the dishwasher is?
I'm not much of a cook (my wife is) but I actually like 'clean up.' (part of my compulsive nature). When we re-did the kitchen in NY, I installed a commercial 'sprayer' and had a huge, unpartitioned sink made, so i could crank through washing big pots and pans and pre-wash the stuff that goes into the d/w.
Here's a pic.

apparently the Miele cleaning tablets use some sort of enzymatic process which works best with some stuff on your dishes
Beautiful kitchen. Your commercial sprayer brings back some memories of my youth-not pleasant memories mind you, but memories nonetheless.
That is commonly found in the users manuals of many brands. The reason is that dishwashing detergents will actually etch china and glasses when there is nothing much to clean. We leave all greasy plates, etc. with the crud on. The exception is starchy items because there is no formula made for a dishwasher that will effectively remove all starch. That would be deposits made by potatoes, noodles, etc.
Mine broke my Elvis cup. I'll never forgive her for that.
Interesting about the etching. I hand wash the good stuff, the crystal, the real silverware, etc.
I find it cathartic. My wife thinks I'm nuts, but it is a fair trade-off. She does the cooking, I do the clean-up.

You should try washing dishes in a busy restaurant that has no dishwasher-just a 3 compartment sink and you wash everything by hand. My next door neighbors in Las Vegas owned a very busy, very popular restaurant called Chicago Joe's. The family actually moved from Chicago to Las Vegas to open up the restaurant. I was friends with their son who was around my same age. One night I get a phone call from my friend telling me their dishwasher couldn't take the pressure and he opened up the window in the kitchen next to the sink and jumped out and left them with obviously no warning. I went in and washed dishes for them to bail them out. It wasn't the last time either.
In restaurants, and also in busy households; by hand is the way to go.
...And the more people helping the better and more joyful to work as a team. :b
