Can we talk dishwashers now?

gunsandbanjos

Following on from Alias' washing machine thread i'd like to talk about dishwashers:D

Mine has finally given up the ghost, its been lingering on for about a year now but has kicked the bucket now i think.

Only proviso is it has to be slimline, though i think most of the major manufacturers do slimline versions.

Who is good? Who would you not touch with a bargepole?

Any opinions welcome.

Def bosch would not touch zannusi, do they stil do them? Bosch kitchen we have all the way, perfect help line, guarantee, no quibble after sales services better than none.:D

Wouldn't touch hotpoint/zanussi or smeg again, even with someone else's bargepole.

Mum has AEG which is good.

We have a beko, mainly bought because it was the quietest plus it was cheap.

Had it a year or so now and still very happy with it.

I think if you buy from a major supplier, asda or tesco direct say, you will be fine with whatever brand you get.

Just make sure you get one that does the programmes you want.

I just bought a month ago a very cheap beko (£230). It had great reviews and I was on a budget so it was ideal. It's fantastic! It's so quiet I barely notice it's on. It's got plate racks throughout that can be folded down when I'm not using them too. For value for money you can't go wrong!

I have a hotpoint and I love it only slightly less than I love my children.

Sorry to hijack the thread but....

Are dishwashers actually worth it? I've been uhming and arghing about getting one - Currently there is only me and DD at home - come dec there will be me, DD, OH and new baby and not sure whether it will be worth it in the long run

I am so envious of the OP!! :rotfl:

I have a Creda Ecowash slimline in my kitchen, it was there when I bought the house. We believe it is nearly 20 years old and is still washing the dishes! I want it to go "pop" because I have a lovely space for a a full size dishwasher that would have lots of pretty lights on it and be quiet! But the Creda keeps on trucking!

So I would have to say anything from the Creda stable is good!! :rotfl:

I only have a small kitchen so find my dishwasher a big help keeping everywhere tidy as all the dirty stuff gets put in there:D

I have a hotpoint one & have had no problems with it.

When I brought my dishwasher my sister told me it would change my life, I thought she was being a DQ, turns out she was right

Ive had my Bosch dishwasher for nearly 13 years now. Never had a problem with it, wish I had bought a couple so there would be a reliable back up when the first stops working. Apparently they dont make them like they use to, god I sound like my gran. I think they would do a slimline version

You sound remarkably calm for someone who has a knackered dishwasher. I hate washing up so the thought of mine dying leaves me in a cold sweat
