My 2c - a few years ago I got an independant technician ( no brand affiliation & didn't sell anything) to come and fix my old dishwasher. Turns out it was had it and I needed a new one. I asked this guys advice on a few inc. the F&P and he said that there were lots of probs with them and he thought they would "send them broke". Maybe they've sorted out the issues by now? Dunno - I ended up getting an LG and was quite happy with it.
In the new house I am considering Bosch if there is any funds left for such things.........I might end up hand washing for a while.....Hang on! amend that to read "the kids might be handwashing for a while!" for responsibility, work ethic, housework education etc etc blah blah blah of course!!
