Re: Compact dishwashers – any experience?
Right Greg, it’s time for “Carry On Sexism”! 😆
No doubt we’ll be sued or something for not being politically correct, from both sides of the fence. 😉
If people want to use small dishwashers I can’t see the problem, personally I wouldn’t as to do that amount of dishes I fail to see the point of the expense really.
WG have you got a 1000mm kitchen base unit as the 45cm dishwashers were introduced to fit into the half of that which doesn’t have the sink and plumbing in it? That’s a far better bet if it can be done IMO.

ROFLMAO, well you won’t get sued from me I promise. I like a good laugh & bless Martin’s little Cotton Socks, he’s been a good sport in the battle of the sexes v compact dishwashers.
I haven’t got the room Kwatt, in all seriousness I am trying to decide if we should redo the kitchen or move. (We are a 1 bedroom bungalow)
I have looked at a few properties from apartments to 3 bed houses, it’s just the cost is rocketing rapidly. As I recall one apartment I looked at (New Build) had a ghastly Candy 3 in one do-dah that you kindly advised me about in a separate post. When I moved into this bungalow, I had to take it quickly as I needed to be based back in town because of my hubby’s kidney failure. I needed to be near our local renal unit and so chose the place & rapidly downsized. (Our old place was a huge 2 bed new build & was perfect but out in the sticks miles from civilisation & hospital)
Still for now we have to make do with our shoe box. – WQ

This lady knows more than she’s letting on you know, how come she knows that I wear little cotton socks anyway? 😉
You know I pointed out last time how much crocks and cutlery make up a 4 place setting load? Try putting them neatly in this then……..

Which one was that then WvM ? The only other size that I can remember was the Creda space saver which was installed under a drainer.

Re: Compact dishwashers – any experience?
I think WVM means the little Servis Secret DW that installed inside the cupboard under the drainer. I don’t know if the Creda one was the same thing only different.

Oh memories, now I am showing my age. (Sigh) I used to work for Northern Electric (used to be NEEB) & indeed both were similar. I recall we used to have a Creda one, in one of the showroom windows kitted out with a kitchen unit & the machine fitted with a clear perspex panel on the front, the machine would “wash” so that customers could see the benefit of owning a dishwasher.
The Creda (was the better model & more like a small traditional type of dishwasher) rather like the Husqvarna one, the dial was on the front, whereas the Servis one was more like a solid grey box that the lid flipped upwards instead of outwards. The controls were on the top. On/Off button was behind a sealed plastic/rubbery do-dah. If memory serves me correctly, we once had a shortage of the Servis ones & instead had a batch that were branded Homark but they were the same machine & made in Italy. – I also recall the Servis one’s used to leak terribly, because on the bottom of the machine on the plastic bit was a metal skirt, it used to corrode & rust badly. We had many a Servis machine returned.
I feel old now.
