I am trying to decide between two Miele dishwasher models -- the Diamante Plus ($1299) vs the Optima ($1599). Both have water softeners, and the dealer assures me that the Diamante will be very quiet, though the Optima is supposed to be even quieter. I generally use a dishwasher for everyday dishes and stainless only. I hand wash plastics, pots and pans, etc.
I had a Bosch 500 series dishwasher that I liked and was very quiet, but I'm looking for the water softener to help with our hard water etching our glassware. I currently have a brand new top of the line KitchenAid, which I really dislike. Loud (relative to the Bosch), doesn't clean well, and doesn't sit flush with the cabinets. (I could start another whole topic about the KitchenAid!)
I know there are a lot of passionate Miele owners out there. Is the Optima really worth the extra $300? I don't want to pay for bells and whistles that I just won't use. Am I missing something?
Thanks for your help!
