From everything I've read about the "dirt sensors" in upper line dishwashers, they tend to error on the side of "overwashing" more than what may actually be necessary for clean dishes. |

Well mr Jetcone, you don't have to convince AEG anymore because soon this apparatus is coming on the market. It's called AEG Visi Jonathan, very nice pictures, cool that you made pictures with both dishwashers in it. The new one sure is an improvement. And AEG sure put a nice styling on their new dishwashers. |

Hmm, I notice the finished sides and top, which built-in dishwashers don't have here. |

2001-2004 seems like a relatively short life for a dishwasher, repair wasn't considered? |

Jon, You might be right, after all it looks like the cutlery basket is in the middle. Another reason to draw this conclusion is that Zanussi is the brand that does design things. Hmmmmmmm... I guess we must wait until we see this thing for real. Bob, I think it would be better to ship a whole load of these to the convention LOL Luigi |

Jon, thank you for the added pics. I love the way the plates face forward in the bottom rack. Just like the spray tube Frigidaire dishwashers (and a couple of other brands) did from 1955 to 1965. The top rack, the way you loaded it, reminded me of a Whirlpool top rack from the late 1960s until sometime late 1970s or so. You white swirled edge dishes look very similar to mine. Are they John Brothers Regency? |

Beautiful machine Jon. This new model has a lot of style to it and looks well made. God, I wish they would put some styling bak in American models. Enjoy! |

So describe how this "Aquastop" works on the new dw as opposed to the old dw? |

Jaune, Almost all European dishwashers have built in water softeners, that's what the salt reservoir is for. The types of dishwashers overhere are different too. You have the freestanding models, like Jon's old and new dishwashers. Then you have a kind of built under machines, without a top but still with side panels and a full door. The third type is the integrated model, no sidepanels, no top and a door on which you can put a panel in the same style of the kitchen cabinets. With this model the control panel is still visible. The fourth type is the totally integrated model. This type has the controls on top of the door so you can put a full size panel on the door. When built in this dishwasher is totally invisible. I don't think I have ever seen a 'portable' model overhere, I mean one that you can roll over to the sink. |

Sounds like the 3rd type is what we call a "built-in" model here in the US, no back, side, or top panels. |

After looking at your photos, I am amazed how much your DW resembles our new Kenmore Elite( made by Bosch) inside and out-subtle differences, but the racks are basically the same, as is the interior and the control panel- though we have round bottons instead- is there any connection between Bosch and AEG?

I'll answer that question. No, there is no connection between Bosch and AEG. And I think there are a few differences between the racks of both. The AEG has the silver basket in a corner while the Bosch has it in the middle I think. Jon's old one had the basket in the middle too. What you see is probably a difference between European and American dishwashers. American dishwashers are basically a bit bigger and the racks are quite different from the European counterparts. I think the biggest difference is the tines in the bottom rack, there is more distance between them in American dishwashers. |

The amount of suds building up really has nothing to do with the washing ability in either a washing machine OR dishwasher, but especially in the latter.
You have to remember, unlike us, most people do not sit and watch their washing machine and wonder if they got the detergent right or selected the right cycle. The general consumer is far more likely just to put a tablet in and set the dishwasher going and ignore it. As long as things are washed well and clean, I doubt people will care. |

Glenfield, was it really necessary to boost up an old thread just to attempt to correct an 8 year old post?
Just wondering... |

I can't find any news on that machine. You don't mean the AEG Vision by any chance that also was marketed as Electrolux Visi? That model has been pulled of the market a while ago. I have been considering buying a used one, but it didn't prerinse in any cycle, nor did it have a separate rinse and hold cycle.

because I saw the thread, saw it was Jon and wandered in, saw the machine you had bought and thought, "hey good looking machine" and thought to post THEN I saw MY POST saying the exact same thing, my head spun for a moment then I looked at the date stamp!! No time slips here, just old posts, but I still had the same reaction 8 years later! LOL! |

Jon
I am twice your age, and I am only on my 5th dishwasher LOLOL I bought the Miele 10 years ago this January past, pleased its still going strong - no other dishwasher I ever owned has lasted this long although in truth number 4 only lasted with me a couple of years, it was an 18" Smeg and I could not wait to get back to a 24" model, I sold it along with my flat when I last moved.
