New dishwashers set new standards in energy efficiency: Now with the highest rating of A

Gütersloh, April 29, 2025 No. 044/2025
  • Comprehensive upgrade with the most energy-efficient range ever

  • Maximum energy efficiency class A – available from entry-level to premium models

  • Top feature AutoOpen for better drying results now in all price ranges

Save energy and protect the environment – sustainable washing has never been easier. Miele now offers the top energy efficiency class A in all marketing classes – without compromising on cleaning performance, convenience, or durability. The new G 5000 Active and Active Plus dishwasher models will be available in stores from May 2025.

With almost 100 years of experience, Miele stands for expertise in dishwashing like no other manufacturer. More than half of the Miele dishwashers sold in Germany now carry the A or B label. This sets Miele apart from the market and consolidates its leading position in terms of sustainability. With the comprehensive portfolio update of the G 5000 series, maximum energy efficiency is now available in all price ranges, meeting the most important purchasing criterion for consumers.

State-of-the-art technology for sustainable performance

The completely redesigned successor models achieve top marks for energy efficiency with an optimal balance of reduced power consumption and adjusted programme running times and temperatures. The AutoOpen automatic door opening function, which was previously only available on higher-priced models, plays a particularly important role. This function deliberately switches off the heating phase at the end of the washing programme to significantly reduce energy consumption. At the same time, the door opens slightly, allowing targeted air circulation to remove any residual moisture naturally. This prevents any damage to kitchen cabinetry fronts – vital in ensuring the long-term durability and aesthetic appeal of surrounding furniture surfaces. For optimum, utterly convenient drying performance. Here too, the new portfolio fulfils one of the most important criteria for use: optimum drying results. As an additional convenience feature, the G 7000 appliances offer the AutoDos automatic dosing aid with integrated PowerDisk. This measures out the correct amount of powder granules precisely, reliably preventing under- or overdosing and thus ensuring consistently high cleaning results.

“Sustainability is part of our basic setup – even in the entry-level class, where we’ve actually achieved leaps in energy efficiency of up to three label classes,” says Dr. Michael Junker, Senior Vice President Business Unit Dishwashing at Miele. “Our goal was to establish environmentally friendly dishwashing as a basic expectation, not as an optional extra. Our revamped dishwasher range offers a compelling overall package that combines energy-efficient washing programmes and functionality with an attractive price-performance ratio.”
More features, same price: Despite the upgrade to the range, the price remains unchanged – fully integrated dishwashers are available from EUR 999 (recommended retail price for Germany).

Like all Miele dishwashers, the updated range has been tested to last for 20 years – further proof of our commitment to quality. With a portfolio that is even more consistently focused on resource conservation and efficiency, Miele once again emphasises that sustainability is more than just an energy efficiency label. This is also evident in our responsible use of resources throughout the entire life cycle.
