    That range didn’t have a pre wash option. Compartment 1 is where the pre wash would usually go but as the instructions state do not pour detergent in here.

    Page 11 stain removal may help stubborn stains it states ” Stain removal This option allows for selecting the type of dirt so as to optimally adjust the cycle for removing the stains. The following types of dirt can be selected: – Food, for stains caused by foodstuffs and beverages, for example. – Work, for grease and ink stains, for example. – Outdoor, for mud and grass stains, for example. ! The wash cycle duration varies according to the type of selected dirt”.

    I thought that, looked at the four posts and even hovered over the bold text in case there was a hidden link.

    Worth keeping keeping an eye on.

    They haven’t had a ten year warranty for quite some time.

    As Dave rightly says it’s a marketing campaign which they run from time to time.

    Electrolux group products, AEG, Electrolux, Zanussi and Frigidaire.

    It appears most of their products go to John Lewis in the genuine ranges and there own named John Lewis products. Any surplus stock ie cancelled orders or r end if line gets offered mainly to distributors like DAD, Portway and Swift among others.

    I remember having a Zanussi demonstrator back in the day and she would sell at least five pieces a day, sadly those days have gone.

    I have supplied the WPRO one in the past with no complaints.

    If these are brand new appliances I would stick with the genuine one as if there is a problem under the guarantee with either appliance some engineers may get funny.

    Ebac, from we can gather is still a low volume affair and service is carried out by appointed agents. Not much if any data is out there yet on the brand or it’s machines. There dehumidifiers have always been top notch so the branding is there.

    Just tried the Miele link which works for me, have you a blocker in place which could be causing a problem or try chrome if not already.

    Bosch will give you those features along with the Zanussi and AEG ( same company.) Miele are still the best but still have issues with service being restricted to their own partners and the cost of spares can sometimes be eye watering. The build is still good and you can now look up on https://www4.miele.de/msd/MSD#/start and find any model you are interested in to see if it’s a sealed tub or not.

    Then there is the Ebac range which is a British brand of which are still mainly sold online Ebac which again cover your requirements but come with a 7 year warranty which is currently the longest in the industry..

    Load options for small loads are a thing of the past on 99{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of machines these days, everything is now automatic.

    A standard pipe offers you no security against flooding if the hose fails. Yes the dishwasher has to come out if the Aquastop needs replacing but the benefit of them are huge compared to a standard hose. Most manufacturers fit these now as standard.

    My suggestion of visiting the retailers was to have a look at the build factor comparing the Polyinox base to the all stainless steel wrap.

    Good luck with your choice, let us know what you choose as future readers may read this thread for info.

    Sadly you cannot replace the Aquastop with a standard hose. I have over the years seen many installs done by adding an extra hose and then joining to the Aquastop. A word of caution it could invalidate your warranty. better to have a plumber in to reconfigure pipework and have a clean install.

    If it were me I would visit Currys and John lewis and have a look at the different models rather than trying to make a decision on line.

    There have been several different repair kits over the years which have had differing levels of success.

    Any Bosch series 6 any model which starts with a 6 ie SMV6ZCX10G and on Neff the N50 model S155ECX07G series and up are stainless steel. You can look up any Bosch or Neff spare part explosions on their sites if you want to check.

    These aside I would look at the AEG in John Lewis along with Whirlpool and Beko they all have full stainless steel wraps and some will have the cutlery tray.

    It’s all in the research 😀

    Bosch and Neff are part of the same company along with their premium end brand name Gaggenau. Both of your selections have the polyinox base which in recent years has caused problems if consumer constantly use the hot cycles as it has warped the base and then leaked water. The new breed may have overcome this. By the sound of it this won’t really affect you as you will be using lower temps more.

    As for the comparison between the two The Neff has less programmes but with the cutlery tray while the Bosch has a lot more with the basket. The way I see it having had a Bosch with the tray for about ten years is you get a better wash quality with the tray, yes it’s best to sort by type but then quicker to unload. At the end of the day you either sort before the wash or after. It also gives more space in bottom basket.

    Bosch Neff are currently running a promotional free five year warranty on most of their dishwashers if you purchase and register before March 31st. John Lewis are also currently offering half price installation as well.

    Virtually all dishwashers nowadays do not have exposed elements so any that have heated drying the air comes in via vents. residual drying while not as effective is cheaper to run so has more green credentials. It’s well known that plastics inhibit the drying process so avoid putting too many of these in if you can.

    Bosch dishwashers are still my favourite, ours is 10 years old and still goes wee. Series 4 and up are the best and some even have extra dry option.

    Is this a freestanding or integrated dishwasher? If the latter is it fully or semi integrated? Full size or slimline?

    So many choices 😀
