Help! My dishwasher is a monster!!

There, that got your attention. Our dishwasher was an antique when we moved into the house seven years ago, and on many occasions it threatened to stop working mid-cycle, but somehow we always managed to coax it back to life. More recently, the mechanism that holds the door in place fell prey to rust and the door fell heavily onto my shins. And then onto my wife's - thankfully not while locked and operating! No leaks so far, but the last bit of resistance in the mechanism failed on Christmas Day - so, while the dishwasher is still mysteriously fully-functional, it's only a matter of time before that heavy door rusts clean through at the bottom or else falls on the cat. This cat has already cost us more than £3,000 in uninsured treatment, but that's another story... Let's get to the point now:

I am going to buy a new dishwasher - but here's the catch - I want it to be delivered by a company that will plumb it in properly and take away the old one, without making a huge fuss (or a huge charge). Can someone please recommend either a national retailer, or a smaller retailer serving Brighton & Hove, who will do this for us in a reliable and timely fashion?

Many, many thanks, in anticipation,

Rich.x

  • John Lewis will do it for you. They plumbed in our new washing machine and took away our old one (for a fee). I was so glad I got them to do it though as it was not as straight-forward as I thought it would be.

    Another vote for AO, great prices, great delivery guys.

    Always pay them to unpack, take rubbish away and recycle old appliances.

  • John Lewis. AO may do the same, but try to get them to sort out any warranty issues.

    We used John Lewis for ours too esp as it is an integrated one. Guys did a great job and took the old dishwasher away too.
