CAN I MAKE A DISHWASHER INTERESTING?

Advantages: Spacious, cleans well, no streaks.
Disadvantages: Pricey for what it is.

Now someone must be made aware that when you have 3 kids, regardless of how many times you order a take-away, the kids will still manage to use every pot in the house in one sitting. So, when you no longer have enough forks and plates, you buy more to increase the size of your beloved crockery set. Low and behold, that very same day, 5 plates and twelve sets of cutlery are located in the deeper and darker depths of the kids bedroom. Oh yes, it's ...
...of very little understanding when it comes to dishwashers, so I walked blind into the murky underground world of Dixons in search of one. Oh they were all so expensive and useless, so I decided that it was time to go and do some research. Firstly, my kitchen is my haven so I wanted the silver to match the rest of my appliances. Kettle, cooker - you get the idea. You'll be amazed at how much this puts the price of the appliance you are buying through ...

Maytag Stainless Steel dishwasher

Advantages: Quiet, large inside, easy to clean
Disadvantages: Intermittant fault that doesn't seem to be fixable, expensive

I have had the Maytag for nearly two years now. I bought it to match with new appliances in my refitted kitchen. The machine holds a lot, more than our previous model. It was so quiet that when we first used it we didn't think it was working! It is easy to use, with lots of programmes. It has a low salt and low rinse aid indicator. It has an economy programme as well as all the usual programmes that you would expect for a top of the range dishwasher. ...
...line and I looked up Maytag and phoned them, they then arranged for a firm of engineers to send someone round. The engineer arrived, tried the dishwasher but it was fine, so said he couldn't do anything but let Maytag know if it happened again. He noticed the fascia was cracked and arranged to order a new one of those. As soon as he had gone we loaded the dishwasher and put it on - bang - off went the electric. We rang Maytag again and we had an ...

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. ...
