Dishwasher

Recommended Posts

It only means paying about double what you payed for your smeg, I have a miele and am very pleased with it, I am on my third one now, not because they break down but one was left in a house which I subsequently rented, and the second one was stolen by my ex-wife during the great divorce theft.

The main thing is you only pay the high purchase price once,

but every time you use it you will have to put up with the racket of a cheap machine, the miele is by far the quietest.

Every time you load it it will pay you back, it has a better layout than the rest and the cutlery is placed in a sliding draw right at the top of the machine, rather better than dropping them into a bucket arrangement at the bottom.


Now you know all that you can go and get a nice cheap one from curry's.

Whatever you do - avoid Hotpoint. Cheap but unreliable. For years we were the talk of our road as the Hotpoint engineer's van seemed permanently parked outside our house!


We now have a Miele. It came with a 5-year guarantee. I have to say that I am disappointed. Performance in terms of washing/drying is average - no better than our (unreliable) Hotpoint actually. However, it IS quiet and utterly reliable (as per SteveT) - we have yet to make a claim under the 5-year guarantee.


I think Mr. Ben is right - Bosch is the one to get. All of my friends who own one say they are delighted with it.

The previous owners left an old Miele here when we moved in.. and it's still here, some years later, chugging away every day without fail.


It also has the shelf thing at the top for cutlery, which seems to be a big improvement on the pull-out carrier affair.



Actually, I've just bored myself to death.

Hi Drew - I really miss the old Bosch classic that we had before moving to ED. Have heard good things about Miele tho. You might want to check out the consumer guides called Which? as they are supposed to provide independent reviews. Good luck.


PS. have not heard anything good about Smeg products (yet).

Electricity is only cheaper if you are on an Economy plan. I think a lot of dishwashers have ridiculously long programmes. Would always look for one with quick washes, like washing machine. And one with a pre rinse cycle if you don't rinse your dishes off beforehand.

Dishwasher owners should never *smug* it Simon, I keep informing my youngest sister of this.

She refuses to look sheepish though, the little cow.


What's wrong with sink washing?


#The hands that do dishes, can feel soft as your face, with mild green Fairy liquid#


Does nobody remember that song from the sixties? Probably written by Joni Mitchell?

The first mention of which inspired the Green movement we have today?

The inspiration for Madame Ulay to produce her oil, so that hands and faces would continue to be equally soft?

I despair sometimes, I really do.


Magna Carta? Did she die in vain?

Well, the evidence suggests that your lifestyle does not appear to warrant a dishwasher at all. Indeed, I have reasonable cause to believe that you live on Scoop's coconut ice cream which comes either in a cone (which, presumably, also gets scoffed) or a cardboard tub, which (I would hope) you re-cycle.;-)

I don't know Narnia, I did some sink washing (hah! Simon) earlier today and the rain forests only crossed my thoughts, while gazing at the wall (and believe me the thoughts weren't up to much anyway) once. Briefly, if not momentarily.

I'm not going to say I shrugged and thought 'f*ck 'em', but I did go back a bit sharpish to considering which episode of series 7 of Curb Your Enthusiam I was going to re-watch when I was finished.


Maybe if I had a dishwasher I wouldn't be as shallow as sink water and might spend more time concerning myself with the rainforest rather than the travails of Larry David.

I'm going to give this some thought.

    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
    • > however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. So what leads you to say that the dustmen have done damage to it?
