![]() So, dB, in and of itself is not an absolute measurement, but a relative one. So, if X is 30dB greater than Y, that means it is 1000 times (10 to the 3rd power) as large as Y. The decibel is based on a logarithmic scale that compares the ratio of two measurements. OK, I know I don't know much of anything about DW's, but decibels I've got covered. This "Miele thing" seems boring, otherwise there are no more options since in the last 5/6 years many appliance manufacturers dropped quality down I'm afraid they are no more the machines they used to be This way they save both on storage parts (no more different spares for different brands) but also -unfortunately- on build quality.įor sure today AEG DW are no more almost comparable to Mieles as they were once.Īlso when I open those basic Bosch models with a plastic sump matched to stainless steel walls and ceiling Not a case latest AEG and Zanussi appliances share several parts. Electrolux Europe closed AEG plants in 2006/7, guess latest pumps are no more original AEG ones. The new pump makes the very same buzzzzzz. That is even quieter than contemporary (1996/98) Mieles, so some year later we bought an AEG too.ģ years ago also my brother bought the TOL AEG model, but despite it was rated 42db(A)/28 db it makes an unpleasant buzz as if it were an electric shaver, while Mieles rated 42db are silent like a fridge. My aunt has this very model of AEG dishwasher As a clue go figure the "energy saver" cycle (called "without heater" in Europe - only on Excella and LaPerla) runs two prewashes to raise tub and load temperatureĪnyway noise perception is also matter of sound frequencies ![]() ![]() Unless you purge the hot water line before starting "china/glass" the water enters the machine less than warm. Current mieles use less than a gallon per fill. They are valid when comparing a single manufacturer's machines to each other.Īntss, what you wrote about cold fill and "china/crystal" is true when the water heater is very close to the DW (my case : have a mixer) or with stoneage mieles that use 3 gallons per fill. just in case you wanted to know how to use these decibel ratings. They all know this and they don't complain about other manufacturers' use of this unknown "A", because they don't what objective standards to be applied across the industry. It is not useful when comparing machines from different manufacturers, as they all may and do use different "A" noise. It is not useful when comparing machines to your own sense of what noise is acceptable. It is accurate when comparing two machines of the same manufacturer. So, take it all with a grain of salt or two. ![]() With respect to that reference noise which they chose and which they keep private. one dishwasher is 46 dBA and another is 54 dBA, They can choose any noise and then say that e.g. "A" is a private company selected reference noise. "A" is then a reference point, from which 30, 40, and 50 deciBels mean 3, 4, and 5 times the power produced. Thus, dBa / DBa / dBA / DBA all mean with "A" as the starting point. Please note that dB is a relative scale, with reference to a starting point. ![]()
