We were having a wander round currys and saw this tiny table top dishwasher. Its £120 which seems reasonable since the other table tops are twice the price. Do you think its a good idea? We don't have room for anything else :-( CLICK HERE TO GO TO dubstar85's LINK

I thought Kenwood was a DeLonghi brand? | ||

sssh lol! Dont tempt them to mess about too much with the Chefs just yet til I get a brand new one to go along side my 2 vintage ones. We are getting a Stainless Steel Kenwood full size Dishwasher soon, well after Mum gets her Sebo upright and removes her mitts from my Miele cylindr and Hoover Turbopower upright. Going for the full size one with bar handle which matches our Kenwood cooker. Dunno who they are made by, to be honest dont really care lol! Means I can put MY Hotpoint dishwasher into storage to preserve it a bit til I get my own place back. Mums had the Hotpoint 18 months after saying it was an Excuse to get rid of her old Bendix dishwasher after 14 years faithful service. Hope the Kenwood does better than the Indesit we had 6 years before the Bendix but 8 years plus I expect. Them table top machines are badged up as Naiko - back in 2004 we sold these as Safeway. Seen them as Proline, Kenwood and other odd names. We had a few returned when we were Safeway, seem to be a reasonable bet if desperate I think. Good luck in deciding, hope its Not So Manic! LOL Dubstar. He he he Rob.

They probably are just generic Chinese made machines then where anyone or company can fill out an order for however many they want made with whatever name they want pasted on the front and probably choose from a few different features, front doors and button layouts to semi-customize the machine and make it look slightly different from another "brand". I see lots more of that happening with all sorts of small appliances and plenty of the big names are in on it now. Karcher pressure washers and floor sweepers you can find under all sorts of different brand names is another example. Low end toasters and such as well. The big name companies save a fortune, no designing, no manufacturing, just pick from a catalog and have them shipped.

well,
i very nearly bought a stainless Siemens on saturday. comet had them for £350. Wish I had now. Just the steel is a different shade to the cooker and american side by side fridge freezer. Bad enough we have a tacky silver LG Next to a white Hoover dryer in the utility room. Im kinda being put off these Kenwoods now. The cooker we have is unbelievably well built. Even the tol lux cookers have nothing on it. Thick solid hinges, heavy pan supports etc. The dials have survived 6 years of cleaning in the dishwasher without losing graphics etc. Food for thought. Dubstar, thanks for the thread. Hope this helps us both out.

No problem! Like I said earlier, we are going to buy the dishwasher. Its not that expensive and we'll replace it with a better full size one when we have the space. Well, our own home and not rental! Can't wait to do it, just done a loado of dishes there. Ugh! | ||

I have a Danby branded version of this machine - got it on Craigslist for $70. I bought it just to play with and so far, have been quite impressed with it's ability to clean. I took apart the door and removed the dark plastic cover on the window so I can see a little more of what's going on in there. I've noticed that when loaded heavily, the detergent doesn't always get flushed out of the dispenser - on the door, upper right corner when closed. Other than minding that one issue, it's performed very well. Mine has a Sani/Econo button and I really like the added heat/Sani option. I have soft water so scaling isn't an issue, but when I picked up this unit, it was very scaly and sad looking. A few runs with Glass Magic and some Dishwasher Magic cleaner and it's good as new again. I would imagine that used heavily, it probably would fail seemingly early in it's life, but then what does one expect for $120 today? (see the GM Strike thread in Super ;-) | ||
