Dishwasher Recommendations?

Neil I'm totally with you, man!

I hate the functional obsolescence that often is a feature of mainstream consumer goods. Where I can, I try to buy commercial rated goods. They are usually twice the price but ten x the performance.

I was keen on the F&P Dish Drawers until I saw this site:

Now I am looking at DWs at around the 1000-1300 mark - its a hard choice because there is a lot of choice (if that makes sense)...

Good luck with your hunt!

We have just moved into a brand new rental (long story but we're out of the old place we were in while we wait for our house to be finished - well, started and then finished!) and they have just installed a "Nightingale"dishwasher - which I've never heard of before. Funny part is that the top water spinner thing that is just under the top basket hits on the dinner plates and doesn't spin = dirty dishes when they're supposed to be clean :evil:

And no, we don't have jumbo sized plates. We now have to wash the dinner plates by hand - which sort of defeats the purpose of having a dishwasher in my opinion.
Long story short - make sure the dishwasher will fit your plates!

P.S we have the Technika TBD4 Bellissimo included with our house (promo), but I can't find any reviews or where even stocks them. I'd love to know what we're getting, but eh, it's free so I ain't complaining.

We had a Dishdrawer in our old house and loved it !! It was 8 years old when we moved and still going strong. Only ever had F&P out once to fix it. It was out of warranty but as it was only out by a couple of months they didn't charge anything ! We have found F&P's after sales service fantastic.

When is comes to dishwashers and washing machines

It is MIELE

Not cheap but top value for your money !!!!!

Everywhere we went sales people were pushing the Miele and the Bosch. We are getting a Smeg oven and also enquired about their dishwashers but most sales people said to stay away from them (along with all minor Smeg appliances) as they are just rebadged and are not really "Smeg" appliances. At the end of the day we couldn't justify the extra couple of hundred dollars for the Miele (as practical as they maybe, they're quite fugly) and ended up with a nice looking Bosch.

renomart · Jun 18, 2007 12:27 pm

The good thing about Miele is that they are very quiet. At work we need to put a sign up saying the dishwasher is on! :lol:

We also have a F+P Dish Drawer. It's now 7 years old and apart from a microprocessor going bust (I think) and another issue (a drop of water hit one of the controls and changed the water pressure from high to low (??)) it's been very good. Mind you, I rinse the dishes before they go in - does anyone else do that?

Oh, I don't like the fact that the power comes on every time you open the drawer.
