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).

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.

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
