69 and 55dB ?! Are you kidding? Since I read the forums I learned that American style machines are noisier because of the built-in grinder but over here the noisiest dishwasher on the market is rated at 51 dB! I hope that measuring systems are different from the EU to the US, otherwise you...

They launched here in Italy too some weeks ago. What are they thinking?!?! People must be CRAZY to spend such an amount of money for a Samsung machine (here 1899€)... just add a couple more hundreds and buy a semi-professional machine and you're assured it will outlast that piece of junk by at...

On second thought... checking again the BOMANN machine: I just noticed it's an Evolution 3 clone coming from the ItWash factories in Acerra, near Naples. Have a look on the website I attached. Over here they gained a very good reputation as they are very cheap and perform well, you decide if...

Go for the Gorenje! Among those you selected is the one with the best quality and fantastic performances too! Samsung is pure crap, no other words to describe it, the Bomann seems just one of the many chines/turkish machine you find for next to nothing, Bauknecht is just a troublesome...

Well.. if you want to buy it, it's actually on sale and on different colours too! Price around 4000€ if I recall correctly! http://smeg.fiat500design.com/

Koscher salt I would avoid it as any other regular table salt because they haven't the same purity of dishwasher salt

Well, over here carbon dioxide, propane, isobutane are becoming more and more common refrigerants in the industry, CO2 is going to be THE refrigerant in cars (transcritical cycle) and high temperature heat pumps (supercritical cycle), R290 (propane) is quite widely used in all-in-one...

remember past the 80`s for quality laundry anywhere... Exactly my point!

I think I'm the member that "madly loves SMEG" ahahhah ;) I attached the link for the SMEG USA website: they offer just a small subset of all the appliances offered in Europe but still it's a nice selection (go figure that in Italy they offer some 90 models of dishwashers and in the US only...

@logix And what is the exact model? I'm so curious! And about the cake test... I did it years ago on the BOL Indesit I have at my rental place (with a full load!) and did the same good results, everybody should try for themselves!

my Siemens does three heated rinses when using an Intensive cycle with varioSpeed. Wow, what model is that?

4 rinses?!? Never seen a dishwasher that does so many. Even on the most powerful cycle the most I've seen is three, only the last one heated. Kenmoreguy89, I have no idea what machines you tried but in mine I even wash the removable splash guard covering the oven ceiling and it does come clean...

Having never used a dishwasher with a grinder I can't comment on them but having used the "supposed" manual cleaning filters ones I can comment on them a lot. Me and my sister in law have the same dishwasher: both machines run flawlessly since 2006, obviously both have the same filtering...

What else but growth hormone Gosh, I'm so happy it's illegal to use hormones over here! Plus there's a ban on importing US meats in the EU but that ban is being challenged by both the WTO and the US itself! I hope things will stay the way they are! I like my food as natural as possible!

Ah really? Didn't know they changed measuring parameters during the years! If that's so, excellent! :D

That is gorgeous! :D If you can cope with the lack of grill/convection and low power it sure is a wonderful find!!!! I wish my current oven was half as nice as that!!!

Same in Italy, they're on the market since the arrival of Whirlpool but being Whirlpool the quality is sadly, crap. http://www.kitchenaid.it/

The Europeans use 18 inch dishwashers almost exclusively. Gosh, this is one of the most incorrect thing I ever read! People should really do a little research... (maybe here!) In the market for every 45 cm model sold there are probably 50 standard sized models sold... they're just for those...

dry italian dressing mix My oh my, what is that? ;) Shouldn't it be called Italo-American dressing mix? Heheheheh, things like that always make me smile! :) (In a good way!) Last time I needed meat dressing I went on the shrubland near the seashore and hand-picked a bag of wild thyme and...

paying that kind of money for a plastic Korean washer Gosh, you're SO right!
