I don't know anyone else in the appliance trade that rates Inde****
at all.

I've had 3 Merloni dishwashers and I love 'em. Before you ask, only the one
had any problems: a broken door lock. I prised it open with a crowbar, which
made it work again, but I decided it was far too old and scratched, so
parted with it, ensuring I bought the closest model I could find, as it had
excellent cleaning and drying performance, much better than any previous
dishwasher I'd owned or used. This second one sold with my last house. My
new house now has the fully integrated version.

The first and third ones were Ariston, the second Indesit. The makes are
indistinguishable from each other, except the branding. The Indesit
instructions were actually Ariston, with the brand name blatantly tipexed
out and photocopied, except that they missed a logo on one of the diagrams!

My mum's had an Indesit washing machine for over ten years. Still going
strong. She wants to replace with a Miele, but is waiting for something to
go wrong with the old one first.
