Miele G 7216 SCU review

The Miele G 7216 SCU is the premium choice here, and Miele USA's 2026 price book lists it at $1,999. It earns the highest quality score for its spec list: a built-in water softener, which no other model here lists, AutoOpen Drying with SensorDry, AutoSensor load sensing, a Double Waterproof System and a 3D MultiFlex Cutlery Tray. Miele rates it at 42 dBA with 16 standard place settings and 230 kWh of annual energy use. Programs include Normal, SaniWash, QuickIntenseWash, Pots & Pans, Rinse & Hold and China & Crystal, with an Intense Zone option. The controls are DirectSelect on the front. The value score is the lowest of the verified models because it costs $500 more than the Bosch 800 Series, and the price book does not list Miele@home Wi-Fi for this model. Households with hard water get the most from it. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run wash tests.
