Indesit dishwashers....
Just because a machine is reliable, doesn't make it GOOD. We had a DG5000WG dishwasher for about 9 years. Yes, it was a reliable machine, but it was RUBBISH! It never washed anything properly, couldn't handle things like pasta sauce or meat juice, even on the most intensive wash. It was only on replacing it when it finally died that my Mum realised how horrible it was. I certainly wouldn't touch Indesit dishwashers again after that.

Jad - you might want to look into John Lewis branded machines. They're made by Electrolux who make AEG and Zanussi - they're a bit more "beefed up" than Zanussi but not quite as sturdy as AEG's. Failing that, a top end Zanussi or a Bosch machine would be a good choice

(incidentally, I've just recommended that very same Zanussi to my Mum)

Warranty....
I can see the Zanussi in the link has 2 year warranty, but the Zanussi's on Currys website don't appear to, so be mindful that the 2 year warranty is on offer from the retailer you choose to buy from.
John Lewis generally offer longer warranties than the likes of Currys & Comet - Zanussi's 1 year is usually two years for example.
As AquaCycle rightly mentioned, the John Lewis brand is well worth a look, because if nothing else they usually have 3 years warranty, which is very good at the price they sell for.
Failing that i'd consider another AEG - warranties seem to rise from 1-5 years in mst retailers for these though in some instances it could be that you pay more purely for the warranty & the machine is largely of similar quality to a cheaper Zanussi.
Bosch - i'd only touch the ones that say 'Made in Germany' on them as some of their cheaper stuff is made by other companies & isn't worth the money, even if it looks cheap for a Bosch product.
A final suggestion would be Gorenje. These cover the price brackets of Zanussi & AEG but are arguably better made & come with a minimum of 2 years warranty. Gorenje don't sell to big retailers though, so you'd need to find an independant retailer, like a Euronics centre. The customer service is generally better from smaller places so i wouldn't let that deter me!
If it were my cash i'd go with a Zanussi/John Lewis machine from John Lewis (so i get better warranty) or get a Gorenje, unless you feel flush in which case a mid spec AEG. Other than Miele there's not alot else i personally think is worth the money.
