Sadly my dishwasher has reached the end of it's life. I have well and truly had my money's worth from it so can't complain after about 15 years. Anyway time to purchase a new one. Do any off you have recommendations re make or horror stories. I would be most grateful as the last thing I want to do is buy a lemon. Thanks Pat

Jan & Ros Well I knew men were put on this earth for something. You have answered my querie about them. IT'S TO DO THE WASHING UP LOL Annie Thanks for the tip re the make

My dishwasher is called hubby lol, sorry cant help with make or model, thhey broke the mould when mine was made lol Jan

Budgie See my previous answer. You are supposed to wash the dishes.

Yep, mine`s the same name-LOL Ros

i am more than happy to loan you mine.........for the grand price of 50 quid a week.hes size 7 shoe size[gets him closer to the sink]and will wash up on demand.xxxxxxxxxxx

I have had 4.Each time i move i have to have a new one.All different names and not had one thats let me down.I have a AEG one now and thats 6 years old. Annie

I bought an AEG about a year ago - never had a dishwasher before, and it's BRILLIANT, lol! Wish I'd had one years ago!

Try a 'Bosch' or get your OH.a new pair of 'Marigolds' Hal.:o))))>

well we only have room for a slimline dishwasher. (its not me cos aint slim lol)) our first one was a Bosch lasted 15 years and was used every night. We had problems getting another slimline one that was integrated and had to settle on a Miele. Was expensive.£899!! But is great, very quiet.which is a boon cos ours is on overnight for economy. I would certainly splash out again on a Miele seems very well built and reliable. Its being going now for about 4 years and still OK . Shirley

It is often down to budget these days. Go to a site such as Kelkoo and do some comparisons. Our last machine was a Zannussi - we bought their appliances for many years but felt that the quality dropped after they were taken over by Electrolux. That machine went faulty after 5 years. We now have a Bosch and whilst it was a little more expensive does appear to be of a much better build. AEG also have a good reputation and if you are feeling flush you can't beat Miele.

Hal Bosch sounds good marigolds are cheaper of course. Shirley Miele must be fantastic at £899 but I'm afraid for an OAP beyond my reach OH wouldn't let me purchase any certs if I bought that. Joy thanks for the offer again can't afford it. Peter thanks that's 2 recommendations for Miele, Bosch and AEG. I heard Zanussi were not so great now Thanks folks Pat

We've had a Neff dishwasher for a few years,my daughter has one as well. Hoping I'm not tempting providence here when I say 'no problems' Mau

Pat, Well we couldnt afford it outright so took it on 12 months interest free, If i had to replace again and couldnt afford the Miele would certainly go for Bosch.

Thanks Shirley it would still be cheaper than Joy's £50 per week though.LOL

Bosch without a doubt.

Dear Patricia, I know that Bosch are a bit more expensive than other machines, but from my own experience, they are worth every penny! My Bosch dishwasher has been trouble-free for the past six years, and my second Bosch upright freezer out in the garage weathers extreme temperature changes throughout the year. The first freezer lasted over twenty years. When my current washing machine gives up the ghost, I am planning to replace it with a Bosch. Have a look on Money Saving Expert.com. Joanna

Mau, Chris and Joanna Well Bosch definatley seems to be the most popular. Joanna I will look on Money Saving Expert I don't mind paying for a good machine it's just that the £900 is out of my range. Thanks everyone I really do appreciate your advice. Pat

my first dishwasher was a indeset lasted 14 years next a hotpoint lasted 3 years now i have a bosh lasted 4 years and still going strong but i dont think they are built to last long now

Had a Bosch for years, but the door catch wore away with the constant use......had 3 children, lots of dishes......looked at others, but went for the Bosch again......and there it sits as I type, doing its job......
