Miele’s new G 2002 series dishwashers meet 2011 Energy Star requirements and claim 17 percent greater water efficiency over previous models. The machines use 5.1 gallons of water for a “normal” cycle (down a gallon from other Miele dishwashers); the Economy cycle, by comparison, uses a mere 1.2 gallons of water. It comes in a Clean Touch Steel finish, which resists fingerprints and scratches. Miele, 800.843.7231;
