I thought falling onto cutlery only happened in that really funny German mock safety video, but apparently it did happen once somewhere. Just once.

Ours gets as clean which ever way up it is.

I can get more in with the big ends up. And I can see which ones they are when I unload it.

You wont get any food poisoning from having the cutlery
pointing down, at most just some of the cutlery with some
completely sterilised remains on them at times.

You have a posh dishwasher where you have to take the trouble to put each piece of cutlery in individually. I'm glad mine doesn't. I just put a handful of 10 of any cutlery item into each section of the basket.

Some "chinese english" instructions for an automatic light switch, needless to say I did not attempt to follow them during the installation....

The surface design is facility, comely but not losing generosity, it will not have accidented feeling after installation.
Wide working voltage: you will not be worried when you go all over Europe carrying it.
You could fix the sensor with two screws on the junction box in circular one, also fix it with special installation shelf.
In a word, whether the junction box installation orientation is true, it makes the installation flatly.
The lamp will be on automatically when you knock at the door or say "I am coming back".
It will make your home warmer and more romantic.
Penetrate the setscrew into installation hole, block on radiator to aim at the installation hole on connection box.
Let electrician or experienced human install it.
The unrest objects can't be regarded as the installation basis-face.
Don't open the case for your safety if you find the hitch after installation.
If there is any difference between instruction and products, please give priority to product, sorry not to inform you again.

Depends dunnit. Just because only one kid dies, doesn't mean that
related irritations couldn't happen with some frequency. I put stuff in
points down, because these glasses distort slightly and I don't want to
poke myself on a sharp jobby as I load or unload - something that would
happen but never appear in the statistics.

And no, the cutlery basket *has* to be last out. Why? Because this
sodding Bosch DW has a cute trick. Unload the font row of stuff first
(ie. the stuff nearest you) and the weight of the stuff at the back
makes the bottom drawer tip up away from you. Potentially rattle rattle
rattle crash crash crash.

Change it immediately, one day you will forget, have to lean in to tidy up the mess, and fall eyeball first onto a fork.

Mine is a Beko too, 1-2 years old. It's got the same basket I've seen in everybody's dishwasher - about a foot long and 6 inches wide divided into 8 compartments. You shove about 10 bits of cutlery into each. Do you really have to place every individual piece of cutlery in one by one? You'd be quicker washing them by hand!

Odd, I've found cutlery is always clean (sharp end up), if anything is ever left dirty it's bowls with dried on food. But if I set it to the hottest wash and use 2 dishwasher tablets, and the maximum setting for rinse aid, it's rare anything comes out dirty. And quite often it's only used every 4 days, so everything is well dried on.

No, ours isn't like that. It's around the same size overall as yours,
but has two top pieces which make a grid into which you drop the
cutlery. It was a little awkward at first since previous dishwashers
were like yours but it's not so bad now and actually quiten handy when
getting them out.

You've just reminded me, I think mine actually had a flip down piece like that, which I removed and discarded as it didn't make any sense. Easiest thing in the world to use it without, you place 10 items of cutlery in each section, business end up. Then take them all out together after the wash. Nothing could be simpler.

It's got the same basket I've seen in everybody's dishwasher - about a foot long and 6 inches wide divided into 8 compartments. You shove about 10 bits of cutlery into each.

Not everybody's though. ;-)

Do you really have to place every individual piece of cutlery in one by one?

Yes, but it's very quick to do (even when I do it).

Placing single items takes 10 times longer than placing groups of 10.

Did you miss the 'but' in my comment above? I wasn't saying it was
quicker than just chucking them in willy-nilly, I just said (in
comparison with the general time it take to load and unload a
dishwasher) it's still pretty quick.

I wouldn't call having to do 10 times as many things "very quick".

You'd be quicker washing them by hand!

Not if you include filling the bowl with water, washing, rinsing and
drying. ;-)

I never did dry. Isn't that what the draining basket on the draining board was for?

Apparently. ;-)

Were you told you must dry?

However, having all the 'working ends' completely exposed and held
apart guarantees a much better wash than potentially having them all
bunched together.

Agreed, which is why I was surprised anyone did any different.

If you only have the bunchy basket thing than I'm guessing you don't
really have the choice.

Surely if I had the little holes I'd have to do it business end up. You can't get the business end through the holes.

Like I said, it's got to be taken in context. It wasn't a measurement
of time per-se, it was the suggestion that it didn't take very long.

Yes. You *can* use the draining board to 'dry' (rather than just
drain) stuff, but it's often quicker to dry it by hand. Like it is
generally quicker to dry stuff in a TG than to just peg it on a line
oustside or on a horse inside, especially if you are in a hurry and
consider all conditions.

However, having all the 'working ends' completely exposed and held
apart guarantees a much better wash than potentially having them all

Correct? *IF you only have the bunchy basket thing* you don't have the
choice of having them held individually?

You've just reminded me, I think mine actually had a flip down piece like that, which I removed and discarded as it didn't make any sense. Easiest thing in the world to use it without, you place 10 items of cutlery in each section, business end up. Then take them all out together after the wash. Nothing could be simpler.

Yes. Simpler would be to just chuck them all in one basket but every
stage between that and having them held individually will give you the
cleaning range from 'lucky dip' to 'perfect every time'. (because a
fork isn't sitting inside a spoon etc).

No, if you have the special fancy holder, you have no choice - you must put them handle down. If you don't, like me, then they can go either way up.

10 at a time works fine. They shuffle about with the water jets anyway. If you had no dividers, they wouldn't stay upright, then they would stick together.

No, ours isn't like that. It's around the same size overall as yours,
but has two top pieces which make a grid into which you drop the
cutlery. It was a little awkward at first since previous dishwashers
were like yours but it's not so bad now and actually quiten handy when
getting them out.

Trouble is that the grid holes are not circular, so you have to watch
that when you pull something out, it doesn't catch and pull the lid
off. Also the lid (top piece) is getting very ratty now after 5 years
of me having no patience with it.

Thass why when we get the kitchen redone, we're gonna get a new DW with
a top tray for the cutlery.

Why not just remove the offending lid like I did?
