We had a Bosch in the UK and I could only fault it's dislike of powder and preference for tablets. other than that, it was wonderful. From a reliability perspective it would seem that both Which and Choice readers have rated Miele Bosch Siemens Electrolux/AEG (and Electrolux brands in Oz) Whirlpool and Blanco here....as average or higher. The current Blanco machines that are sold in Oz are made by Beko and the Beko DWD8657 scored well in the last Which test. Having said that, Whirlpool (according to users) have good reliability and scored well. They have a model under GBP275 which beat every Miele tested......sounds a bit of a bargain to me... |

According to a guy who repairs appliances AEG dishwashers aren't the same quality as they used to be. That's a pity, AEG has some rather cheap models that are very silent. A friend of mine has a Miele G1220 and is totally unhappy with it. His previous dishwasher was a Miele too, after 20 years it sometimes didn't heat the water. He decided to get a new one but he is very disappointed in the drying results, much worse than the old machine. If he had known he would have had the old Miele repaired. To me the Bosch/Siemens racks look more sturdy than the Miele racks. I especially like the Bosch/Siemens dishwashers with the third rack. I don't know anyone though who has such a machine. Whirlpool are interesting machines because of the price. Ikea sells cheap integrated ones. Friends of mine have a fully integrated one and it's not very loud, I could live with the noise it makes. However, the racks are really a pain to load. |

Cannot speak highly enough about Bosch in my experience and Electrolux from the family home, which although purchased as 'graded' in 1993 was hammered for 13 years and never gave a moments problem. |
