reliable used dishwasher? Do they exist?

[amysmummy]

Our Haier dishwasher has just bit the dust and I would like to find another (anything but Haier)!.
Funds are a bit short this side of xmas & I wondered if anyone could recomend a make of dishwasher that is really reliable that I could find second hand. How long should a dishwasher last? Thanks, Angela

Re: reliable used dishwasher? Do they exist?

I’m a plumber and also do some minor domestic appliance repairs.

I can’t say if it’s been reliable, or not, but I installed a second hand dishwasher about 3 months ago.

2nd hand dishwashers often put in an appearance on Freecycle – http://www.freecycle.org/display.php?region=United{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}20Kingdom. There’ll be a group near you.

Alternatively try a local LETS (Local Exchange And Trading Scheme) but you may have to pay a nominal joining fee. LETS, however, can be a nice little earner if you have some suitable skills and time to offer!

I believe any domestic appliance should outlast its warranty by a few months! It’s really luck of the draw. I’ve just replaced the brushes in the motor on a 25 year old washer/dryer (my own). I don’t recall ever having to do any repairs on it before. I can’t see it lasting another 25 years, though, so I’d better start saving for a new one!

go for a bosch/hotpoint about five years or older. if you get a newer hotpoint chances are that it will be an indesit. older hotpoints were bosch indisguise. a well looked after dishy (not used as waste disposal) should last 15 years or more. the new one you bought is arguably the worst dishwasher ever made.

Thanks for your answers. I’m looking at possibly Bosch now as our Bosch washing machine has lasted 9 years so far!
