Question about the wash cycles - I’ve bought one and cannot fathom how an eco wash is 3 hrs and 10 mins yet is apparently almost as energy efficient as a 30 minute quick wash, and uses less water.

How does this even make sense? Am I to believe that a programme taking over 3 hours will add less to my smart meter than one lasting 30 minutes?

As someone else said above, it uses a lower temperature and less water but sloshes the water around for a lot longer.  I've been using eco exclusively for the last couple of months and have noticed a drop in our electric bill although it could be coincidental.  I do now use the 3 hour time delay and put it on before going to bed because the eco mode takes about 4 hours!

You’ve answered a question which was asked over 2 months ago. I suspect adonis10 will have found out by now.

Dishwasher Dilemma? 

Please could you all advise and help me decide on a new slimline freestanding white dishwasher?
My AEG one has is less than 4 years old and has recently failed. Fortunately, it was covered by a 5 year extended warranty with Currys. They can't fix it so (very long story short!) I have now received a voucher from them towards a new machine.
I've had 3 dishwashers over the last 20 years, the first a Bosch Classic lasted 9 years, the second a Bosch Excell lasted about 7 years and lastly this AEG just under 4 years. I would have bought Bosch last time but the model I liked was out of stock, so I chose the AEG, hoping it would be a good brand that would last.
I'm tempted to go for Bosch again but when I went to my local Currys branch earlier their choice was disappointing, only 2 freestanding slim models to look at.

They had the Bosch Series 2 SPS21KW04G @ £399
Or the Hotpoint HSF03T223 W Uk @ £379.
Looking online they also have another Bosch Series 4 SPS4HMW53G, quite a bit more @ £579.

Please could any of you tell me what experience you have of any of these models, or whether you'd recommend any others - hopefully with a decent lifespan? Unfortunately, due to the voucher, I'm obliged to go with Currys, otherwise I'd purchase elsewhere.

Is the Bosch one really worth the extra outlay at £579?

I really appreciate your help and opinions.
