»As regards life cycle assessments, the area of domestic appliances has achieved significant improvements in recent years. This is all the more remarkable when you consider that the award winner has beaten the best energy class, namely A+++, by an additional 20 %. Among other features, the G 6000 EcoFlex dishwashers from Miele achieve this through the use of a heat exchanger with two separate water circuits. Thereby, fresh water is preheated via the circulation of the wastewater. The intelligent control system allows for the use of hot water from a solar system, and can also be time programmed to carry out the washing process during cheaper electricity tariffs. Moreover, the units are designed for a longer service life. It’s a clean solution all round!«
