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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
