Yes, there are Gorenje dishwashers. I never looked at them until now. They appear to be the same machines as the BOL Bosch models which I think are Beko machines. I think Jonathan mentioned that once.

Here's the link to the built-in modles. The TOL looks like a MOL Bosch one.

OK, last week while lamenting over new dishwashers, I stumbled across a listing for a Kuppersbusch for $1550. Do you guys know anything of this company? They carry a full line of cooking appliances as well including a very cool induction wok cooktop and honeycomb radiant ceran units that can be arranged in any configuration. I sent for brochures which arrived yesterday and upon closer inspection, the dishwasher (just one model) looks to be a Bosch clone. Any other perspectives from across the pond?

Greg, I'm not sure what exactly the relation is between BSH (Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte GmbH), it's not listed as one of their companies like Gaggenau, Neff and Thermador. Küppersbusch (they lost the 'umlaut' somewhere in that big pond I guess) is a company that started with the production of stoves in 1875. They are big in heating technology and institutional kitchens. In the domestic appliances business they are well known in Germany and I think they have a good name. But I haven't seen a Küppersbusch appliance in years, overhere in the Netherlands you hardly see them. Küppersbusch, according to their German website invented both the glass ceramic griddle and the ceramic induction wok cooktop. I don't know if the dishwasher is made in Germany or in the US, it seems logic that it would be made in the US and then $1550.- is a steep price for a dishwasher, especially because the Bosch dishwashers are cheaper. And you don't even see the control panel! Louis |

Danby portable dishwashers are the exact same as Haier, so I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest they are made by the same factory. Local appliance dealer had them both in stock and side by side not only did they look alike from the outside, but inside as well. Have never seen a built in model so cannot comment. FWIW the Danby portable offered features normally found on upscale European dishwashers. IIRC it had a heated rinse, SS interior, china and crystal settings, filters (no built in macerator), and other features. However compared to say a Kenmore 18 inch portable, the racks seemed flimsy and cheap. Also the plastic spray arms seemed very light weight and cheesy. Launderess |

I've been eyeing one of their countertop models for a long time at the Mart, only $99 there! We have a couple of estate sales to attend today and unless there's some treasure approaching that dollar amount ;-) we might pick one up on the way home just for kicks. I inspected the door & window the other day and it seems like you could remove the darker, outer panel for better interior viewing and/or illuminate the interior.
