Bosch dishwasher has died.

Will be £200+ to repair.

Seasoned forum members will know what I'm going to say next....:sneaky:

I know that Which did a test on dishwashers in 2015 and found one model that was head and shoulders above the rest.

Anyone know which one it was?

Thanks guys.:)
 
This one?

Is she tall?

Surely those nipples are edging out to the sides of their respective boobs??

Anyway, enough of the distraction, I meant a mechanical dishwasher!
 
Nah, house hubby, me! Being retired an' all that!


Like the look of that Bosch SMS65E32GB but it's no longer on sale.

Wonder what the successor is?

Similarly the Beko DW603. Like it, but have they got an equivalent free-standing model?
 
We've got an integrated Bosch. No Idea what model, but it is a lot better machine than the one we had previously and it always cleans well, as long as I stack the dishes.
 
Our old one is also a Bosch. Bought from Comet as a shop-soiled model with a huge chunk off the price.

So, it has lasted a good few years.

Don't talk to me about integrated fittings.
Just completed total kitchen revamp, units, fridge, washer, dryer etc and the dryer kept cutting out, There is a reset switch but guess where it is positioned, believe it or not it is at the back of the dryer. Initially this wasn't a problem , just slide out dryer and job done.
However at that stage the floor had not been installed and when it was the dryer would not slide out unless the floor was removed.
Who on earth would design a dryer with a reset button at the back of an integrated unit?
After many more malfunctions of the dryer the engineer was called out who said it was a thermostat problem which could only be accessed with the removal of the dryer.
He also said that, this, inaccessible dryers was a common problem, and recommended we remove the adjustable feet from the dryer which makes removal much easier.
We have done this but the result is that we now have an integrated kitchen unit door for the dryer which needs replacing because the hinges are too low down and there is a large gap between the top of the door and and the work tops
These doors are not cheap and I have no doubt the suppliers will say it is not their fault. There was no mention of the reset button when we bought the kitchen units and there is no mention in the literature of making allowance for the height of the dryer
What I cannot understand is why are the dryers taller that the washing machine which can be removed easily.?
OK maybe I should have check and double checked but from what I have heard I am not the only one to have had this problem.
We also had problems with the integrated fridge but thats another story.
My advice forget integrated fixtures if you want a quiet life .
Rant over.

Had a similar issue with an integrated freezer - tiled the floor after fitting the kitchen and then, a week after the years guarantee had expired, the freezer packed in! :mad:
That is just one of the reasons kitchen flooring should run fully under the units but, when the units take up half of the kitchen floor area, it seems like a waste of money. (It did to us anyway! :rolleyes:)
 
I made sure tiles went under my fridge and washing machine. I'd read warnings about not getting them out if you didn't. My suspicion is that Miele are best, online accounts of Miele washing machines suggest they last a long while.

My washing machine AEG can be removed easily without the ffl extending beyond the units, ie it finishes at the legs at the point of the legs of the kitchen units.
Unfortunately AEG do not make an integrated dryer, which if they did would presumably been have been the same height as the washer.
And being AEG they would have positioned the reset in a more accessible place.
Who the fork designed this machine, and why dont Howdens bring this to your attention
 
I tiled the whole of my kitchen floor before the fitters came in. I also put plywood on the stud walls instead of plasterboard. I made sure there were no pipes behind the dishwasher also - a must if you are to push it back flush. Fitter said it was the easiest kitchen they fitted especially when dealing with the unit height setting and the kickboards.

Anyone who thinks they are saving money not tiling the whole floor has never fitted a kitchen.
