Bosch - 2 yr guarentee. Expensive, but not as expensive as Miele
Not Indesit, had 2 breakdowns, second one just outside first year. "mogga" wrote in message ... Any recommendations? Ta muchly. -- Free stuff by post http://www.freestuffbypost.co.uk |
Bosch - 2 yr guarentee. Expensive, but not as expensive as Miele Bosch dishwashers are not good in my opinion they also make for Hotpoint, difficult and expensive to repair and nothing special for the money. Peter |

Base decision on convenience of baskets. All other features much the same.

Have had a Bosch for a couple of years now - very happy with it.
Previously had a Zanussi, which broke down every 6 months after the 1 year guarantee ran out. Murdo "mogga" wrote in message ... Any recommendations? Ta muchly. -- Free stuff by post http://www.freestuffbypost.co.uk |

(except the miele fans who will claim different) - 10 year warranty on some machines? - cutlery tray in the top of the machine - making more space below and cleaning the cutlery better? - quietest machines on the market? These were just three Miele benefits that I could think of immediately. ..andy To email, substitute .nospam with .gl |
- cutlery tray in the top of the machine - making more space below and
cleaning the cutlery better? Is that optional? We always fill the top before the bottom and have the cutlery below. What I would pay extra for is a top basket with no flappy bits, slopes, spikes etc. Just a flat, closely wired surface so we can get as many cups/glasses jammed in as possible. Christian. |

Not Indesit, had 2 breakdowns, second one just outside first year. Odd. I've always bought Merloni (Indesit/Ariston) as I've found that they cleaned vastly better than the Candy/Bosch/Whirlpool ones I've used before. I'm on my third now (and no, they didn't all break down!). The first one did have a failed door lock which led to some cosmetic damage to the door (crowbars not being the most sensitive of implements). However, it did look ancient and came with the house. However, it was so excellent as washing that I bought an Indesit replacement (original was Ariston). The one in the new house is Ariston again, but even shares a model number with the Indesit equivalent, let alone the machine being identical as well. No problems at all. Excellent drying as well as washing, except with those unbelievably cheap Ikea glasses, which etch after a while with the cheap tablets we use. Christian. |

So you can lay all the cutlery and even cooking spoons up there and have the two baskets below clear. Some Miele models have a choice of detachable inserts (flappy bits) that you can swap out, move around or remove completely if you want. There is also an option to just run a load in half of the machine with less water and energy and one spray bar turned off. We always fill the top before the bottom and have the cutlery below. What I would pay extra for is a top basket with no flappy bits, slopes, spikes etc. Just a flat, closely wired surface so we can get as many cups/glasses jammed in as possible.

Decided to go with a Miele, which has a free 5 year guarantee (claim form on their website). A bit more expensive than some others, but it seems to be a quality machine. Got it from Biasco on the web, who were a lot cheaper than elsewhere, and were very helpful. Peter. |
Any views on AEG?
John Lewis (our kitchen supplier) wish us to use AEG dish washer and washer drier. We can't think of any reason not to do so (yet)! Rgds Richard |

Rgds Richard We have an AEG 50705i dishwasher for the last 3 years. It's extremely quiet and we have not had any problems with it at all, so far... Ditto, we bought an AEG a few years back - partly because the local shop had it on end of line and reduced. Very pleased with it, quiet, washes well, reliable so far -- Chris French, Leeds |

Mine says 'Made in Germany' on it, for what it's worth. |

I think AEG and Zanussi are both part of Electrolux, which ... means you shouldn't touch them with a bargepole! I realise you're being facetious but I don't think you can draw blanket recommendations based on the parent company. I've had 2 Electrolux white goods - a Zanussi washer/dryer which is now just a washer because the dryer part was so ****e, and an AEG dishwasher which has behaved impeccably. :-) Neil |

Now I won't buy anything made by Electrolux. Ah, ISWYM. A bit like my boycot of the Dixon Stores Group. Fair enough to have such a policy, but it doesn't mean that all their products are crap, even if the company is... Neil |
