Miele's Diamond G8 dishwasher uses an interior camera to auto-select wash cycles
Miele unveiled the Diamond G8 dishwasher at IFA Berlin, featuring a small camera mounted inside the door that identifies items like pots, straws and flatware to automatically choose the right wash cycle and detergent dose. The camera also tracks how full the machine is, letting it start a cycle once it reaches a preset capacity, and the dishwasher can be scheduled to run during cheaper electricity periods.

This shows appliance makers are extending AI-vision features from ovens and fridges into dishwashers, betting that automated load recognition can cut water, energy and detergent waste. Pairing that with electricity-price-aware scheduling signals a broader push toward smart, cost-conscious home appliances that respond to both contents and utility rates.
- Miele's Diamond G8 has a camera that identifies dishwasher contents to optimize cycles.
- The system adjusts detergent and wash intensity based on recognized items like pots or straws.
- It can also delay start times to run during cheaper electricity periods.
