Dishwashers

[Oakie]

I got a Haier dishwasher about 5 years ago. Can't remember how I chose it but knowing me it would have been best bang for the buck. Cost about $800 from memory and while it has had the odd incident I'd happily buy another one.

Interesting, we were shown one of those today in Noel Leemings, I told him to never mention it to us again.

We have had F&P dishdrawers for years and while they have had a couple of minor problems, nothing that would convince me to ever consider any other type. Most of the time we use only one drawer, which saves water and powder, but when you have a house-full for dinner, you have the extra capacity to cope. Occaisionally we'll use the bottom drawer just for a change...

Have never had a good run with Simpson and will bever buy another Simpson product.

+1 for dishdrawers, Best anti wife nagging invention ever. Only problem we ever had was putting too much powder in one and having a wee bubbles issue.

Who sells Bosh and LG?

Currently she has here eye on a Simpson or an Elba, Elba being a F&P.....

I bought me an elba 6 months ago from smiths city ($800), easy installation, did it myself. Dishwasher has now died, motherboard or something, warranty - thanks goodness. Had a f and p for about 15 before that one shit itself.

Buy a dishwasher, it is a decision you will not regret. More time to do other things - like riding the bike.

Don't get fisher and paykel or beaumatic. Bosh or LG I would recommend. Should be able to pick one up for around $1300-1500 that will wash your dishes properly.

I have had F&P dishwashers (and other appliances) for 30 years and will buy that brand again. They work well and are reliable - other than wearing out from a lot of use. I would compare them in terms of reliability with the numerous Toyota cars I have owned. So what is your issue with F&P?

I did suggest a small Asian model.

Oh very good choice... 1+

We have a double dish drawer that is now about 5 years old. It was very reliable for the first 4 1/2 years but has had a few issues lately.
Now, with new drawer lids, four drawer lid motors and the main power board later, it is mostly ok again, apart from an annoying intermittent that trips the RCD at the switchboard occasionally.

THe design has had quite a few changes since first inception so the bugs should have been worked out. I'd buy another.

Consumer magazine rated Whirlpool at the top (bang for buck, etc, etc).
We bought a westinghouse though.

Don't touch fuckup and paykel. Shocking stuff.

We've got a 14 place setting LG. Incredibly quiet, energy efficient, reliable, but pretty average cleaning IMO.

For years I could never see what all the fuss about when it come to dishwashers.
I would perfer to get them done and put away.

Bad Points about Dishwashers

: You need way more dishes in the cupboard than normal because you run out.
: Kids love them but dont know how to use them.
: If the dishwasher is ready to be emptied, kids will not see this as thier job.
: They can smell a bit after a a couple of days (no not the kids)... should have rinsed that chilli/garlick bowl afterall.
: Cuttlery can stain after prolonged use.
: Even Stainless Steel.
