What dishwasher to buy?

[deb960]

Hi
My dishwasher of 15 years has just packed up – I was going to buy the hotpoint FDW60 but have looked on review page and this has terrible reviews.

Help – what dishwasher would you recommend – looking up to around £270 – higher if need be.

Thanks

Re: What dishwasher to buy?

Stick to German brands like Bosch, Siemens, Neff and Miele.

Avoid the Italian sourced machines (almost all others).

DO NOT touch Chinese-built machines with a barge-pole (usually electrical stores own brand names, and occasionally sold as a well-known table-top mixer brand, as they have design problems. They also tend to be the amongst the cheapest on sale.

I was in B&Q the other day, and spied a Bosch “Classixx” bottom-of-the-range machine. It appeared not to be made in Germany, (possibly somewhere else in Europe), but will probably still have the 2-year Guarantee (as long as you post off the guarantee card).
