Great oven, had descaling issues which are hopefully solved now – In general a great product and we love using it. However we had an annoying issue with descaling. You can't turn off mandatory descaling and or… Read more
descaling cycle interrupted with 9 minutes to go in a 41 min cycle, no way to get around it.
We only fill it with filtered water, so we thought descaling shouldn't be necessary at all. During a service visit from Miele the technician explained it is designed to run on normal tap water and i shouldn't fill with filtered water. That caused a problem that was fixed during the visit.
So far we didnt need to descale after that visit, I trust it is sorted now.

Ordered the DGM7440 in October 2023. The first unit that arrived had a fault when turning on the first time. A replacement unit was sent that also… Read more
had a DOA fault. I was lucky with the third unit that operated fine until March 2025. At this point there was a fault with the thermostat - and I was fed up with it.
I figured that a steam and microwave combo was too complex and prone to faults. Miele was great at offering a swap to another unit and I was able to choose a microwave-only model.
While the DGM7440 was working, the steam function while good was too much effort to actually use frequently. The cavity fills with water and you have to mop it out of the oven. And because the cavity is sealed for steaming, if you are microwaving something, the steam/fumes get caught inside the oven and you need to leave the door open to air it out and dry it.
Terrible product, but great service recovery from Miele.
