Hey everyone,
For those of you who speak to me regularly, you will know how much I have been after a dishwasher since I moved into my new place. FINALLY, 7 months down the line, I have one. It's an Electrolux BW450 slimline. Picked this up for 50 quid in a 2nd hand shop in town and I LOVE it!! :D So pleased with it. Thanks to Matt (hoover1100) for helping me get it in place, even if I did ignore your nagging about salt ;). best wishes to everyone, Chris

Hi David - Matt's been on at me for using all in one. He's banging on about using salt, powder and rinse aid but with the water we have here, it really isn't needed. Fairy powerbursts do just fine.
Hi Paul - many thanks indeed. Gotta say, I am LOVING not having "dish pan hands". I've never had the experience of those lux washers, but they look fantastic. If the dishwasher is anything to go by, performance will be excellent. The only thing I have left to do with it, is sort the drain out. Currently, I have it draining in to the sink. My under-sink has those push-on drains for the washer (not sure what they're called) and I need to fit another one but not sure how - might ask my Dad about that. I saw some self cutting drain things in Focus but couldn't for the life of me figure out how in the heck it worked. Oh well, at least I no longer have to wash up :D | ||

Drains
Chris
Looks to me like it was Zanussi manufacture, not that its any the worse for that, and I reckon the Electrolux would be rarer anyway. It looks great and I hope you get lots of service (no pun intended) from it. Its sometimes possible to get a replacement "neck" for the sink trap with an addional point on it - I have fitted the self cutting type too, but you do need access to a fair amount of waste pipe to cut them into and room to turn the cutting mechanism - its an easy enough job, its just access that makes it fiddely Al This post was last edited 08/03/2010 at 11:04 | ||

Your probably right about the date, my Granparents bought their machine in 1988. They had the 1000rpm matching washing machine. Hated the smoked plastic but it sure did look handsome! David | ||

"sink trap with an additional point " Yes, B&Q sell them. But you might have to carefully take stock of the existing under-sink fitting; the new one might have the locking ring on the 'wrong' part. I seem to remember that this happened once to me. | ||
