Wobbly about Baumatic
Review of Baumatic BDW13 by
susiepip
Advantages: Easy to operate; reasonable amount of space for dishes
Disadvantages: You can probably find a better dishwasher in this price range!
...new kitchen fitted with Baumatic appliances - dishwasher, fridge-freezer and washing machine (the oven, for some reason is a bosch).
We had absolutely no choice about appliance brand or models, but as we had got such a good deal on the flat, we went along with what the builders stipulated for the whole of the development (I had seen Baumatic products advertised in 'House & Garden' magazine so its not as if I hadn't heard of them before, but didn't ... ...had a look on the Baumatic website, which has a glamorous 'life style' feel to it.
It scores reasonably well on energy-efficency ratings (but not as well as washing up by hand, I know) which I was pleased about.
The Technical Stuff:
Its a 60cm Fully integrated full height (under counter)electronic dishwasher, with 12 Place settings and 7 Electronic functions: normal, intensive, economy, rinse, light, rapid and soak.
It purports to have 4 Wash ...

Baumatic Suprema 1 SS
Review of Baumatic Suprema 1 SS by
littlemissvicki
Advantages: Stylish
Disadvantages: Door, Top Tray
We managed to get this dishwasher for £199 in the sale, so we bought the applicance more to do with price than anything else, but we have had no problems with it. It took us a while to realise that the top level have two levels and thats why we could not fit the plates in the bottom. We also had to tie pipe ties around the handles that hold the top level up otherwise everytime you pull the top tray out it would slip back down to the lower level. ... ...due to the covering being a sheet of alumimium, which I would not usually mind but my son can push this sheet slightly in and the noise it makes when it pops back in to shape makes you think he has damaged it, but he never has, but that might be due to the fact he get a telling off when he does it!! so he doesn't do it very often. You do get a good choice of programs, not that I use them all I always use the same one, but the choice is there. ...

Budget price dish washer
Review of Baumatic BDW45.1 by
whitepeakwalker
Advantages: It's at the lower end of the price range with good choice of wash cycles.
Disadvantages: Not very quiet
...I decided to buy the Baumatic because of price and warranty, which appears to be as good if not better than the competition.
The specification includes adjustable legs, but please interpret this as for leveling purposes only and unlike my original one it doesn't come on stilts. Which is how modern kitchen cabinets are made, and had I bought this from a shop I would have seen.
Please measure the height of your cabinet before ordering as this is ... ...creative in filling the 43mm gap between the top of the washer and the underside of my work surface. In fact I can't understand why it is so low.
My only other grumble is the noise, none of the sites i visited mentioned the d.b., It's quite loud and at times sounds like a washing machine on a spin cycle.
My recommendation is spend another £50, look for d.b. ratings check the height and pause before making that final click on the mouse. ...

One Amazing Dishwasher
Review of Fisher&Paykel DD 605I by
dragonhorn
Advantages: Quiet, economical, safe around kids, convenient.
Disadvantages: None that I can think of.
One Amazing Dishwasher. We bought ours some time ago and absolutely love it. The idea of 2 drawers makes so much sense and really does make a huge difference as to how often we use it and what we use it for. Glasses, cutlery, plates and bowls in one draw and pots and pans in the other. When you have a small amount of dishes that needs cleaning quickly this dishwasher comes to the party big time. We never ran out of clean dishes because while one ... ...dishes. Quiet, economical and safe around kids. Customer service was amazing. I rang once with the only problem we ever had and the lady said to check the filter for broken glass. I said that nothing had broken and it was unlikely but I would check and let her know. She was spot on. Wow!! ...

Hands that don't do dishes
Review of Neff S54M45X5GB by
brereton66
Advantages: Quiet, efficient cleaning
Disadvantages: More expensive than other brands
Neff Dishwasher S54M45
When we recently replaced our kitchen we were faced with a couple of tricky decisions regarding our existing appliances. The fridge and cooker were no brainers because they were both well past their sell by dates (although I did get £50 for the fridge on eBay). The washing machine and dishwasher posed bigger problems. Both are Bosch and less than four years old and both appeared to be still in fine condition. Ultimately we ... ...to go with it.
