Maybe...

...they'll offer the washing machines some day, too.

The dishdrawers were sold under the Bauknecht label for a short while.

I remember that

But they didn't have a good reputation back then, IIRC...

Dish drawer reliability

is like most appliances the more care you take the longer they last.

The top drawer of my set goes on at least once a day and as long as you refill the salt and rinse aid when needed it just does what its supposed to.

I have had 5 units to repair and all have had easily avoided problems most the time its to do with limescale build up which causes the heater plate to malfunction.

Personally I think these machines are a great investment as they are easy to use and simply perfect if you want to avoid stooping when I get a bigger kitchen I am going to have two side by side as that will make life even easier )

Haier

These machines have been on sale here for a few months. £800 for a Haier is mighty pricey!

 

[hoovermatic]

Oh right, I didn't realise as RARELY look at buying a new machine and stumbled upon these advertised at Currys. I thought the price was steep but they do look stylish however I am not sure I would pay that when for a little more I could get a Miele (IF I was in the market for a new machine!)

I guess this is the first fruit of Haier's purchase of F&P. It would be interesting to know where these were designed.

China?

Never seen a frontloader with a wash plate before, though.
