silver appliances...
I agree - I've always felt appliances should be white. However, my brother has just got a new kitchen and bought a new washer, dryer, dishwasher and fridge freezer (all Zanussi apart from the fridge) and they look very snazzy. But it wouldn't be my first choice. Having said that, i do like the old almond Hotpoints and does anyone remember the green Creda's? They were funky lol

My mum has the ariston version of this
It's THE WORST dishwasher I have ever seen or had the misfourtune of using. So awkward to load, so flimsy, so cheaply made. The kickplate falls off if you so much as look at it and its got huge dents in the front from where people have bumped into it.
The tub seal went at a year old, it's bascally just the same stuff they use as bathroom sealent.
My Nana's slimline Hotpoint has just gone at a year old too, computer board's blown.
Why are these on the market when Beko make a MUCH better product for less?
It's the same with the washers. Give me a Beko over any Indesit/Hotpoint or Hoover/Candy, they're not worth the parts they're made of.
Rant over.

this kickplate is stuck to the actual machines bottom base, its different on my machine. Its in the kitchen n has had bashing with trainers/shoes and its fine. Its really easy to load, my mum can do it and she can never load a dishwasher, even bosch,zanussi etc.
Mines brand new so no dents or bumps etc.

Another thing
The metal on the front is paper thin, so it will dent at the drop of a hat. The plastics make the ageing brittle fascias of 80/90s Hotpoint washers feel strong and sturdy.
I guess these machine cover the 90% of consumers who are only interested in a dishwasher than looks pretty and has lots of "bells and whistles". Most people will replace them as soon as they get a new kitchen, which chances are is so often that even one of these machines won't have the chance to go wrong.

I really really like your new diswasher, I had a basic indesit dishwasher a couple of years ago and LOVED it. It performed so well, it wasnt the quietest but it cleaned perfectly, never broke down and could fit in very decent sized loads.
We now have a stainless steel Siemens dishwasher, however the Indesit diswasher is still working very well at one of my mums friends, being used twice a day MINIMUM.
I wish you all the best with your new dishwasher, I know how exciting it is to get a new appliance!

Get yourself a second hand 90s Hotpoint dishwasher. Solid Bosch design and unbeatable reliability. Sure, the new ones may look the part, but if the internals aren't up to the job it's about as good as a tin of rotten beans. Shame on you Indesit for sticking the Hotpoint badge on your shoddy products.

Actually, Matt has a point concerning dents.
Look at the first photo that 'Dyson2Drums' posted.
Above the middle box of detergent(50% Extra Free), approximately six inches above that box on the front of the door, one can spy a dent, where the light is reflected at different angles, giving shadow where there should be none.
It may be a small dent, but it is a dent nevertheless.
As for leaky tubs, this happened to my sister's first Ariston and was written off.
As for dodgy plastic in the control fascia, this occurred in sister's current Ariston ( a screw fell out and couldn't be replaced, due to the plastic falling apart).
It should be noted that crumbling fascias also affected mid-Nineties Zanussi dishwashers.

It looks like its a dent in pic but not when u look at actual machine. I know its not a miele but its really good at performance and its really quiet. quieter than some miele's as stated on reports on sound/noise.
BTW_ I'd love a miele! (dream) LoL

Mr Dyson
If you are very happy with your dishwasher then that's all that matters.
People buy different dishwashers and washers for many different reasons.
So what if it's something "you" wouldn't personally buy. It's no reason to slag his machine off. He is happy with it and that's good enough for me.

Sorry if I came across as trying to slag his dishwasher off
I guess on the plus side they do wash rinse and dry perfectly well, and are easier to load and perform better than Zanussi made dishwashers from my experience.
They just don't seem to last very long and are easily damaged cosmetically.

Matt I wasn't getting at you personally.
The "you" was meant as a general term.
It's just I get annoyed as it seems a lot of people seem to quick to slag other peoples machines off without knowing any of the reasons why they were purchased. Washers etc are all purchased for different reasons and I feel it's unfair when someone is happy with what they have purchased for people to slag them off.

slagging off
I agree Mark I thought poeple were being a bit Full On with their critisms, the guy has chosen his machine for his reasons.
Christ knows i can give a good rant about modern appliances but i think it is best to say nothing if you have nothing positive to say.

Ps And whilst we are on the subject whats that heap of shite your kneeling in front off

Thanks Mark.
I always try to think positively if someone has something new, or good which they bought willingly. BTW_ I love your creda.
And Tom, you're not wrong at all, the industry is going downhill but each brand except miele but thats costly.
thanks everyone.
take care
