The handle on our Blanco dishwasher has cracked after 8 months of use.
We were unimpressed with the grab-and-pull style handle when we first used it - our old dishwashers always had an actual latch underneath the grip part of the handle, but this one is a flimsy piece of plastic that you just pull to open.

It's clear that sooner or later, the entire centre piece is going to break off.
I know that builders provide the most basic model dishwasher they can get away with, but I would expect a major appliance to last longer than this.... Want to bet that the handle isn't covered under the warranty?
