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.

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA! 
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
