    Try the Neff V5340 which is from the same stable as Siemens which is slightly narrower on the depth at 578mm (might make a difference) 😉

    Probably the only choice 😉

    Hi Laurence

    As far as performance and build quality is concerned then I would go for the Miele everytime. You can achieve an almost built in look with it by adding the height adjusting kit. However as yo say you cannot fit a wooden door, but it does have a full length feature door (not the same I know). The 5 year guarantee is good too with a life expectancy in the region of 15 to 20 years it`s a good buy.

    The Siemens would be my next choice. The C rating is more than good for this type of product. Two year guarantee on all Siemens products subject to registration is good.

    Smeg appliances I am not all that au fay with, but I expect someone will see this thread and respond.

    Regards
    Don

    Re: BROWN SEMI INT DISHWASHERS

    Miele apart I can only find Hotpoint BFV620 in white, brown, black and stainless.

    Sold quite a few of these lately they seem okay and easy to build in.

    Re: Best to buy??

    It really depends on your`e budget.

    If you are wanting quality of build, performance and ease of use with simple controls then look no further than the Bosch SGS55CO2GB if its a twelve place setting or the SGS53C02GB for slimline version. They have a two year guarantee and are quiet in operation.

    If you are feeling flush then the Miele range which will last twenty years and come with a five year guarantee.

    Re: which one?

    IMO stay with the German brands for quality of build, performance and longevity of life.

    Have a look at the Bosch WVTI2840 which is probably about the best under a grand 😉 or the Neff V5340XOGB which is from the same stable. These come with a two year guarantee parts and labour as standard.

    Re: Replacing an upright freezer

    Hi DeeBee

    the model number would suggest a 9.5 cu ft frost free machine. I would be very surprised if it was a twelve cu ft. The model numbers back then used to give the capacity as the gross and not the nett as we see nowadays.

    Bosch produce an excellent frost free upright freezer GSN32A20GB 8.3 cu ft nett capacity A+ energy class. available in white or silver you can see it here here. all Bosch appliances now come with a two year parts and labour guarantee and a good back up service is available nationwide.

    Hotpoint also have a frost free range the largest being the FZA84 which has a capacity of 8.9 cu ft. and comes in a choice of colours. What I do like about this model is the various sizes of drawers especially the large ones which will take a large turkey. Normal one year guarantee with nationwide service available.

    What margin {e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} wise were you adding onto the cost price John? it also depends on where you source the stock from to. We deal direct with most of our suppliers now and the margin we make is better than sourcing through a distributor, bearing in mind that distributors prices do vary as do the deals on virtually a daily basis :wink:.

    How much were you charging for the installation? We charge £15.00 delivery only and £25.00 for delivery and installation.

    Re: Hotpoint Web site

    I think it depends on the department you are dealing with 😉 as Hotpoint sales are okay but if you register a service call then nowt happens 😯 . Must be a message in there I think 🙄
