what are these dish washers like compared to bosch??? and other brands
am looking for a dishwasher for my mother
I'd choose Miele over Bosch (or other major brand) any day. Even the cheapest Miele is an excellent piece of engineering and will do a superb job. They last for years too. Ours is 11 years old with no problems so far - and it looks like new inside and out as well.

This looks like a good deal!
We have a dead hotpoint dishwasher that's built-in. I've had it out to repair it but I've given up repairing it so it's time to get rid. The gap is EXACTLY 60cm wide. In the specs, this Miele is 60cm wide - would it fit? Is that the exact size of the machine or the size needed to fit one? could I get my fingers down the sides to move it?
Should be fine - you need a 60cm gap to get this in as it's 59.8 cms wide. There's no need to get your fingers down the side - if you need to pull it out at some point just open the door and grab from the inside. PDF with complete specs is here -
