Dishwashers. Which brand and why.

[lurker17260]

I think ours is about to die so it's time I did some thinking about a replacement.
Which brands would you recommend, (from personal experience. I know I can google reviews) and why.
Speed, good spot free drying, and quietness are high on my list of requirements.

I highly recommend Bosch, they are a little pricey but are excellent, quiet and will last. I recently got a Bosch washing machine and a clothes dryer, both are fantastic, expensive to buy but economical to run. DO NOT buy an LG dishwasher, that's what i have, only got it last year and it's rubbish - brother in law has Bosch dishwasher and that's what i am getting next.

We have had our one for years it is Asko,...............but it died too, but when we buy another one, we will get the same brand, it is considered to be  one  of the best.

It never skipped a beat, until now, but like I said, it is yrs. old.

I agree dont buy anything that is LG or Fisher & Pykal........F & P are very expensive to get repaired.

the dishwasher we have is pretty good, limited edition model, getting on a bit but still works well. Looks great in any kitchen, runs pretty cheaply too. doesnt like to start early in the morning though, dont know why

Spoiler

Im the dishwasher in this house

Heehee, the only brand i have dealt with is smeg and a no brand old thing, couldnt get any of them to dry, but the smeg doesnt makes a sound, to the point you have to touch it to feel if its working

Our dishwasher at the moment since our other one died is my dear husband and he does a wonderful job

[lurker17260]

Neither of those are an option, I'm afraid to say lol

Yes F&P are also rubbish, will never ever buy anything F & P again. Chose the LG dishwasher at the time because it had a really really hot option, turned out that whenever I used that option it tripped the power or something and half the house lost power. Tried to get it fixed under warranty and the bloke who turned up basically told us not to use that option.

Both of my sisters and my mum have F&P dish drawers. They love 'em. But I'm also a bit wary of F&P.

I have an Asko, I love it. Quiet, does a great job and has never needed repairing, I've had it for about 8 years. Came highly recommended by the sales guy who had about 10 brands to offer, some cheaper, some dearer.
