my indesit has recently packed in after only 4 years (not excessive) use so im considering buying one of the following fully integrated dishwashers
1. Candy CD1 1012 from Appliance Universe £169 http://www.applianceuniverse.co.uk/cart.php?act=cart
2. Smeg D161 2CA9 from All Your Appliances £239 http://www.secondtek.com/smeg-di612ca9- … ishwashersthey both seem really cheap (are graded stock with free delivery) but i have no idea about the reliability or customerservice records of either company and have heard horror stories about buying appliances online
does anyone have any experiences of the above companies or dishwashers and are they good value for money?
thank you
Re: new dishwasher advice
they both seem really cheap… …but i have no idea about the reliability or customerservice records of either company
the old saying is never truer – you get what you pay for. i see the indesit is listed at £300 which lasted you 4 years… so you could argue the candy will last all of 2 years?!
the smeg might be a better option, but they arent the easiest to fault find on, and parts arent cheap either.
honestly, i wouldnt say id buy either. bosch/neff (bsh group) are pretty much the market leaders for integrated dishwashers, certainly when it comes to replacements and they are well worth stumping up £400 for a basic one that will give you plenty of years of service. there biggest problem usually during year 0-5 of their life is blockages caused by people mistaking them for waste disposal units…
and if you want figures of V.F.M. £240 smeg is guaranteed for a year, £400 bosch is guaranteed for 2 years. if the smeg is terminal during second year, a bosch therefore works out better value for money. If you still really dont want to buy quality in the sub-£250 bracket then id look at the bekos, at least their parts are reasonable, and found them straightforward to work on.
