Whilst trawling through second hand stores this weekend down in Bristol, our good friend and sister Richard (richbristoluk) came across this little gem - although an extra dishwasher is what he needs more than a hole in a head at the minute! :-)

Where else to start but with this classic feature...

6 programmes, 2 economy cycles

Yes, it's a perfect example of an early-90s Bosch dishwasher.  Surprisingly it hasn't yellowed as so many other Bosch machines from this era did.  All it needed was a wipe with hot soapy water and it's perfectly clean.

After running a Finish dishwasher cleaner through.  The heater element was slightly scaled up before, but now is all showroom new.  Being an older model it still has the exposed heating elements.

Being a higher-end model, it has removable tines at the rear of the bottom basket

Rich stacks the maiden load

Pretty much the same as current models, except this model still has the funnel for the upper spray arm

Rich loads the detergent dispenser - Finish powder if you please

for prewash & mainwash

Rich sets the cycle - normal wash 65*

Other items in the Finish dishwasher range include...

And finally what you've all been waiting for; the end result.  An hour and 10 minutes later for a normal wash, and nothing but sparkling Royal Doulton for the Bristolian housewife!

I'll leave Rich to talk further about the dishwasher, but hope you all enjoyed the pics!
