It was new and unused when we moved in. It is very noisy - we can't hear the TV, radio or talk on the phone if it is on. The top rack is rusting, the handle on the cutlery basket has always fallen off when you lift it out of the machine. The machine always needs cleaning too - it seems to create it's own mess as we rinse dishes. It was taken away for 4 weeks when we first moved in as it was wired incorrectly and set off our safety switch each time we used it It does not dry the dishes and rarely cleans them too. Currently the machine isn't working properly as the wash cycle dial gets stuck mid wash - we have told our Estate agent and I have called Technika 3 times to get someone to repair it. I have given up on it now. Thankfully our house will be finished in Jan so it won't be our problem anymore. To me it seems that every aspect of Technika is poor - product and customer service!!! I am keen to see what other people have recommended though. <<apologies for the moany post there!!

We barely use the bottom draw as the ease of use and the size means you just do a load the moment the top draw is full. It cost more but i think it was worth every cent. Just on dishwasher detergents those tablets they sell are the biggest rip off i have seen, they cost like 30 cents each and require a long wash to use them fully so around 2 hours. I tried them and tried powder and I cant tell the difference.

Re: Dishwasher Recommendations? 77Dec 10, 2009 8:42 am Thought I would probably get a Miele to replace the very old Miele in our house. So I asked someone at work whose wife worked for Miele (actually she has just left ). He said that they put in a new Miele DW but he much preferred the Asko that it replaced - reckoned it was better & quieter. So we have just purchased the Asko. I am installing a new Bosch SMU4HTS01A built under dushwasher. I have 2 questions. What is the function of the metal strip about 500mm long x 60mm wide the tell you to… 0 2750 Really tight at the top of the stairs- how to get furniture into those rooms? Study books - does anyone really use them these days? Large storage closet would be more functional. 2 7009 I do enjoy the drama:-D In his latest two videos he has started bringing security guards to site, I am waiting for the punch on to begin lol 6 45849 |
