phoebe03cat

:eek: Our dishwasher has just overcooked itself and is probably beyond help. As its very old anyway, will replace it now I think. Pls does anyone know of any good offers around atm. :money:

Is it offers (good prices) on dishwashers you need - if it is, sorry I can't help on that front. But I may be able to help u with details of some of the best dishwashers to buy, I'm a member of Which and I think they did a recent review.

If this would help, please let me know and I'll dig it out for you.

Oooh yes please, thanks very much that will be really useful. Will then have some idea of which products to chase. Looking for full size model pls. Thanks

Can highly recommend a Miele, had ours for 2 years now and it is great, no problems at all. Check out UKWhitegoods too, the people on the forums are all repairmen/women so they know first hand which models are reliable

Try the trade it for a good deal. I got a 2 month old washer dryer for 60 quid with a 12 month warranty as the lady who had it was moving in with a partner...

Here are the best buys from the Which review published on 17.09.07.

Miele G 1230 SC
· Price: £690

The G 1230 SC full-sized freestanding dishwasher from Miele is outstanding on its main and eco programs, with unblemished results for cleaning, drying and leaving items smear free.

Miele G 1220 SC
· Price: £480
· Score: 77%
· Type: Full-sized freestanding

This full-sized freestanding dishwasher from Miele is a Best Buy. It's outstanding on its main and eco programs, with unblemished results for cleaning, drying and leaving items smear free.
What's more, it's quiet and very easy to use. It has a traditional, flat control panel.


Whirlpool ADP5406
· Price: £250
· Score: 72%
· Type: Full-sized freestanding

This freestanding full-size model from Whirlpool gave outstanding cleaning and drying results on both normal and eco programs, making it a well-deserved Best Buy.
As there’s no Normal program, we tested its Intensive (70°C) wash, which lasts 2 hours and 39 minutes, and the Eco program which will keep you waiting for just over 3 hours, but the results are worth the wait. Everything came out clean and dry, with no watermarks on glassware.


Miele G1222SC
· Price: £580
· Score: 71%
· Type: Full-sized freestanding

This is the latest product evolution of a recent Best Buy, the G1220SC, and generally lives up to Miele’s high standards for spotless dishes and sparkling glasses on both the normal and eco programs.
The program list comprises Pre-wash, Quick Wash (40°C), Energy save, Light soiling (50°C), Normal (55°C), Pots and Pans (75°C), Sensor Wash and Sensor Wash gentle.

Miele G1232SC
· Price: £800
· Score: 71%
· Type: Full-sized freestanding

This Best Buy machine gives even more compelling reasons why Miele should be at the top of your list when purchasing a dishwasher. Stunning performance on the 136 minute normal program leaves glasses sparkling and dishes pristine, although drying efficiency could be a tiny bit better.
The eco setting adds 40 minutes to the duration, but repays you in terms of energy and water consumption. It’s easy to load, and quiet once you shut the door, so it’s as pleasurable to use as any kitchen appliance can be.

AEG-Electrolux Favorit F86070VI
· Price: £720
· Score: 70%
· Type: Full-sized built-in

This full-sized built-in dishwasher from AEG is a Best Buy. It's outstanding on its main and eco programs, with unblemished results for cleaning, drying and leaving items smear free.
It's easy to use. Noise levels are average. Water/energy efficiency is below average.

Electrolux ESL6115
· Price: £375
· Score: 70%
· Type: Full-sized built-in

This full-sized built-in dishwasher from Electrolux is a Best Buy, with excellent cleaning results.
It's easy to use. Noise levels are average. Water/energy efficiency is below average. It takes 12 place settings. Wash time on the normal program is one hour and 57 minutes. The upper basket is adjustable.
If you need any further information on any particular model(s), PM me (rather than post on here, in case I don't check back and miss it) and I'll get it to you.

I have a Bosch Excell A rated
Not the best buy ever

It takes 2.35 hours to do a full load
cant believe this is cheaper to run than my old one

My basic old hotpoint washed,rinsed
dried in 55 mins everything lovely

I realise now its not like buying a washing
machine,you just need it to do the same
thing all the time in the same way.

If I were buying now I would definatly
buy either Meile or Hotpoint and just
go for the most basic model in terms
of cycles.

I could kick myself I passed on both the
above makes in favour of bosch because
everyone was raving about them at the time
and I should have known better because
I have a Meile washing machine and consider it
the best and most sensible purchase I have
ever made on kitchen stuff and my neighbour is
is now still using my old 20+ year old dishwasher.
