Fisher & Paykel stainless steel double drawer dishwasher.

Advantages: Double drawer, independent operating untis in one applicance. Removeable trays - easy to clean.
Disadvantages: Needed replacement parts within the first two years of is life which I had to pay for.

...I have had my Fisher & Paykel dishwasher for seven years and overall I'm happy with it. I had a couple of teething problems in the first two years with seals needing to be replaced and one of the motors which I think is a little poor on the part of the manufacturers particularly charging for replaement parts for a machine that clearly hadn't had massive use ( I do not have a family or throw thrice weekely dinner parties!). The product in itself is a clever design and the two independently operating drawer units are very handy. It has aged well and I'm hoping that it will not give me any further issues in at least the next 3-4 years as the price one pays should guarantee a reasonable lifespan. If it does give me any probelsm it will likely be relaced by a Miele - depending on the level of support offered by the manufacturers...

DishWash and Go

Advantages: Delay start function
Disadvantages: Bit pricey

...I have always wanted a Dish washer to save me on the washing up and last year i decided to go for it and buy one. I looked around and found that Bosch seemed to be a pretty good make. I found the Website was the best place for it. I ordered it from the website but still phoned up to secure order. The Delivery Well as like most house hold items there is a normal 10 day waiting period for delivery. Dont know why that is really! I phoned up and they said that there warehouse had it in stock but would still be 10 days to deliver. Which was strange but this just meant I had to do the washing up only for another week and a half so I thought fine. I have read lots of complaints about deliveries of these sort of objects but the delivery went smoothly. The Dishwasher Well to go straight to the point it washes dishes very well. Its so...

Environmentally Friendly Dishwasher tablets

Advantages: Works as well as leading brands, cheaper
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...://ec.europa.eu/environment/ecolabel/indexen. htm You should keep the box away from moisture as the tablets come with a dissolvable film so there is no wrapper to discard. There is a warning on the packaging. The tablets themselves are nothing different to ordinary dishwasher tablets. It is a white tablet about 1.5cm x 3.5cm x 2.5cm in dimension covered in a clear plastic film. For those of you that know the Finish tablets, it is just like that but without a red powerball in the centre. On opening the box, you get this really nice subtle lemon smell, really nice. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ My Conclusion ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well, these tablets are certainly more environmentally friendly, from the packaging to the ingredients. The Sainsbury's website says this product meet tough environmental criteria, ensuring it does not use unnecessary chemicals and is biodegradable. The performance...

Review of Sainsbury's Cleanhome Dishwasher Tablets Citrus

Asda 5 in 1 Citrus Dishwasher Tablets

Advantages: Gleaming dishes, glasses and machine
Disadvantages: None as yet

...This is a review of Asda 5 in 1 Citrus dishwasher tablets. We have had our dishwasher for a few years now and have come to the conclusion that you get what you pay for where dishwasher tablets are concerned.We prefer the tablet form of detergent purely for ease of use and less mess than powder. We have tried a few budget ranges over the years but find that the tablets do not dissolve or the dishes, especially glasses are left with a film of residue when the wash is finished, and there were many occasions when our food tasted of detergent due to the plates not being cleaned properly. For this reason, we have stuck to Finish for at least the last 10 months. Between Christmas and January pay day, we were watching our pennies and noticed that Asda had a 5 in 1 product which was on offer for £2.79 for a box of 30 instead of £3.30, and this...

Neff D96M5 60cm silver chimney hood

Advantages: stylish, inexpensive, functional and practical
Disadvantages: maybe a bit noisy

...I fitted out my kitchen in 2006 and furnished it completed with Neff appliances. I solicited some reviews from my colleagues about 2nd level appliance manufacturers and Neff came out as one. 1st level in my opinion - bosch, whirlpool, hotpoint, zanussi 2nd level - neff, smeg 3rd level - miele, fischer/paykel Having never heard of Neff before I duly ordered the integrated appliance brochures and was amazed at the style, functionality and practicality of their products. I selected this hood because I have a small space and the theme was silver, contemporary . It is very stylish and has 2 halogen lights, more than sufficient for the space it covers. Also the grill is dishwasher safe, so I put that in my Neff dishwasher! It has easy to select controls. as for noise, i feel it is a bit noisy but did not have the opportunity to...

Aldi 'Magnum' Dishwashing Aids

Advantages: Excellent Cleaning Power and Very Good Value
Disadvantages: Haven't found any yet

...I have been really impressed with Aldi's range of dishwashing products. Generally, I feel, consumers are urged to buy top well known brands in order to keep their dishwashers working well for as long as possible. The Aldi 'Magnum' range of dishwashing tablets are, in my opinion, just as good. Recently, I bought a pack of 'Magnum 5 in 1 complete dishwasher tablets' for £2.49. The box contained 40 tablets in total and I was very impressed with just how clean everything came out each and every wash. Each tablet contains rinse agent, built in salt action and glass protection agent. We have also purchased a box of Magnum dishwasher salt. As my husband made the purchase, I am not sure of the exact price, only that it was substantially cheaper than we have paid in the for other well known brands and performed just as well. They come...

Ideal for ridge walkers

Advantages: Cheap, relativly light
Disadvantages: Leash comes off

...Hi, Having doing hillwalking and low grade rock climbing for a number of years i though i would take the plunge into winter walking. Last year i bought myself a pair of Grivel G10 crampons and the above axe. The axe is 60cm in length with a wrist lensh on the shaft. The axe head is study and joined to shaft with an eyelet rivet, the same as most axes of this type. The shaft of the axe sounds hollow giving it it's light weight. This does not mean that it is weak, as I used it once as as a hanhold, jaming the axe horizontal across the top of two boulders and hauling myself up on it, the shaft did not bend and their is no sign of cracking. The shaft appears to have a protective coating on it that also allows for extera grip by having loads of small raised bubbles on it. The head of the axe, is quit tough, and has not been...

Not just dishwasher tablets!

Advantages: Clean well and smell nice
Disadvantages: You can buy cheaper

...Marks & Spencer Homecare 4 in 1 Dishwasher Tablets with Lemon Grass Despite what it says on M & S (Dishwashing can be fun), I personally don?t believe that dishwashing can ever be fun. It can however be made much easier, as we have only recently discovered, with the aid of a dishwasher. Since buying our dishwasher in 2006, we have tried numerous types of dishwasher tablets and other products to discover which we like the best. We have had a few boxes of Marks and Spencer 4 in 1 dishwasher tablets with Lemon grass. The first was given to us by a relative but we have bought others since. They sell at over £4 per pack of 25. INGREDIENTS The tablets contain Sodium Carbonate, Sodium Percarbonate and Sodium Silicate. Not sure what it all is but that's the stuff that makes them work! SAFETY INFO Apparently, prolonged or repeated...

3 in 1 Dishwasher Tablets

Advantages: cheap and convenient to use
Disadvantages: none

...We've been using these tablets for over 6 months now without any problems - they're great! They contain the powder, rinse aid and salt so save on buying seperate products. Convenience They are very easy to use. No fiddling with powder spillage or having to keep an eye on the level of rinse aid left in the dispenser. Also if you have an older dishwasher that does not have a salt indicator it saves having to keep an eye on that also. If you do big shopping trips (2 weekly or monthly) then it's easy to see exactly how many tablets are left. Cost The cost for a 25 pack is £1.98 which works out at approx 8p per wash. Asda also do a pack of 50 but every time we're in there they have always run out. Overall there is only about 1p difference per tablet between these box quantities. I haven't been able to compare...

Double Oven 60cm Gas Cooker

Advantages: Easy to clean and very smart looking.
Disadvantages: Oven racks quite difficult to pull out. No oven light.

...I purchased this cooker in white. I paid £269.95 but most suppliers seem to be selling it for £500+ so I think perhaps mine was priced wrongly as it certainly seems more like a £500 cooker than a cheaper model. It is a very smart looking cooker and easy to keep clean. It has double glass panels to both ovens which are extremely easy to wipe clean as is the smoked glass lid. The burners are very neat looking and the pan supports keep even the smallest of pans stable. Being 60cm the oven is a generous size and the hotplate easily accommodates four full size pans at once. I find the grill very fast and when only cooking on one shelf the top oven is more than adequate. The self cleaning oven really does self clean. The shelves in the main oven are a bit difficult to remove but I think this may just be due to it being new. The oven does...
