The Dishwasher NOT to buy

Advantages: It washes dishes
Disadvantages: top drawer brackets break, electronics break

I bought one of these a couple of years ago. The first one that arrived worked for a day then stopped completely. An engineer came out about 4 days later and told me he would have to order a new control board. Needless to say, I sent the machine back to the supplier and demanded another machine. The new machine worked fine for about 3 months, then the brackets holding the top drawer broke. I was told that this was a common fault with them and the ...
...brackets. I got the new brackets......... they lasted about 8 months.... now broken again. The machine is currently unusable, it fills with water then bleeps and does nothing else. I looked in the user manual for a diagnosis, the result was to call an engineer. DONT BUY ONE OF THESE! ...

Value dishwasher

Advantages: Reasonably priced, unique dimensions
Disadvantages: Only six place settings

...a front-loading dishwasher made by Haier priced at a remarkable £209. Haier was not a familiar name so I clicked through to their website. I was surprised to find a leading Chinese manufacturer established in 1984 with German knowhow. They have since expanded into Europe and are one of the top businesses in mainland China. Chinese dishwashers? Why not. I ordered a Haier WQP6-2 via the searchappliance website (no delivery charge) and it arrived ...
...So how well does the Haier perform? Pretty well, actually. The machine, which only comes in white, has six place settings. This is half the capacity of most family dishwashers because you have to compensate for its smaller size, not a problem for us as a three-strong household. There are two racks, the lower one for plates and cutlery and the upper one for cups and glasses. You can fit in around five saucers and five plates and eight cups/mugs ...

Dishwasher fire

Advantages: Good. basic model
Disadvantages: Risk of Fire !

We bought the ZDF 501 2 years ago, and its worked fine. However, 2 nights ago, the dishwasher control panel caught fire about 5 minutes into a wash cycle. Fortunately we were able to put out the fire within seconds of smelling smoke, but the flames were already quite big, and molten plastic from the dishwasher had started a secondary fire on our kitchen floor. LOTS of smoke as well! This product has not been recalled, unlike the 601, but I read the ...

Beko DWD4310S dishwasher - good, affordable option

Advantages: Quiet, fast wash option, good looking
Disadvantages: Height of top rack, occasional failure of drawer to properly release washing tablet

We bought this dishwasher because we wanted an afforable "stop gap" before getting our new kitchen fitted with an integrated model. It therefore does not have as many options (e.g. delay timer etc) as some of the more expensive options but it has been perfect for our needs. It has been a great buy..it is quiet and has a fast economy wash option that only takes half an hour . There is plenty of room in the bottom drawer for cutlery and plates and ...
...We bought the silver version as we preferred the look of it to the white one and it does look smart in the kitchen, although it seemed a bit "plasticy" when it first arrived. There are minimal controls, making it very easy to use, and there is a useful salt container indicator which is easy to see, showing when more salt is needed. The only disadvantages are that pint glasses don't fit on the top rack easily (often falling over during the cycle) ...

Space saving time saver.

Advantages: AAA rated, looks good, easy to use, reliable
Disadvantages: An expensive brand, not really for families, quite slow.

...end I decided on the SMEG as not only is it AAA rated (relating to Energy rating, Wash performance, Drying performance for those not in the know) but it also had a flat fronted and very sleek appearance. It matched the fridge and washing machine I had picked out too. I ordered my appliance from Boots Kitchen Appliances, it was delivered a week later at a time that suited me and it was installed and ready to go in no time at all. The dishwasher boasts ...
...four could be a push. SMEG appliances do not come cheap, I paid £450 for mine a year ago and this has come down a little bit, although the latest models can be over £600. It is my view that you are paying for a premium brand and a very stylish appliance which looks good in the kitchen, but I don't feel it does anything extra special. It does everything I would expect a dishwasher to do and nothing more and nothing less. ...
