Yeah, I was afraid that might be the case as I’ve been looking for some time and not managed to find anything.
On your wider points, I would only say that in a market as large as dishwashers, you would expect some variety and small numbers of manufacturers catering to niche markets. I’m not asking all or even most manufacturers to provide what I want, just whether there’s one somewhere who does.
Anyway, there you go. This is a bit of a pet peeve of mine – the superiority of simple, durable design and difficulty finding it.
Interesting, thanks.
Actually I was thinking about other appliances as well. I’ve just been replacing the plastic fronts on the drawers in the freezer compartment of my Bosch fridge-freezer, as they have broken when the drawer gets a bit “sticky” with ice and has to be pulled out with too much force. I can see your logic here as if the drawer were a single piece of moulded metal, and there were ice sticking it to the interior sides of the freezer, you could pull it out and find you rip shards out of the sides of your freezer.
What I’m talking about with the dishwasher is a bit different – not so much simply replacing the plastic parts with metal ones, but redesigning the whole interior so it’s more simple and solid, and doesn’t HAVE so many fiddly moving parts. Simple example: The one I’m throwing away because it doesn’t work any more has a simple immovable plastic plate holder at the front of the bottom tray, and then behind it there is a whole set of complicated clip-on attachments allowing a second plate holder to either be sprung up into service, or laid down so you can put saucepans etc. there. Over time half the attachments have broken or got lost, so when I use it, it’s all kind half-supported and wobbly. Is there any reason why there couldn’t simply be a second immovable one there, OR an empty space for pots and pans? I’d gladly forgo the flexibility to have the solidity.
So maybe let me rephrase my question: Are there any dishwashers on the market without moving, clip-on, pull-down, flip-up etc. adjustable parts inside? Is there anything that you open the door and it just IS, one particular way, with everything built to stay in place. If plastic is the best material to build it from, then fine.
