Dishwasher Capacity: Where Does Miele Rank?

One of the questions people often ask when purchasing a new dishwasher is: Which one holds the most dishes?
A brand that tends to draw a lot of interest is Miele, although one of the questions frequently asked is does the top cutlery tray truly save that much space inside a dishwasher? Do I have to strategically place each piece of silverware in there each time I do dishes?
The answer to the first question is it absolutely saves a ton of space, allowing you the ability to utilize the entire wash basket. As for whether or not you have to be meticulous with each piece of silverware you place into that tray, the anwer is definitely not. If you don’t have a large amount of silver ware, you can simply drop it anywhere into the tray as long as they’re spaced out and not right on top of eachother. There is a spray arm that spans the full width of the tray above it which will get your silverware clean. However, if you have a large amount of silverware, it is recommended that you do take the time so that all of it fits and that it will clean properly.
Some wonder when they look at a Miele dishwasher if they’re even big enough, because at first glance they don’t seem to hold very much as compared to some of the other brands. This video shows the capacity of a Miele Dishwasher compared to two other brands (Bosch & KitchenAid – in that order, although the original author of this video doesn’t mention them by name). It certainly surprised me, but you’ll have to believe your eyes, as there doesn’t seem to be any digital trickery going on here:
