New Bosch Dishwasher and a saga getting it!

[hotpoint9534]

Good choice, Rob!

I would definitely buy another Bosch dishwasher, we've had our SMS5032GB/14 since 1994. It does on average 2 loads a day and nothing has ever gone wrong with it!

Robert, are you pleased with the drying resuslts?
The drying-time on my Bosch SGI58M05EU I got about one month ago, are very short- 10 - 25 minutes!
IMHO, the drying results aren´t that good..since I raised the final-rinse-temperature it´s drying-results improved!
But I still like it!

That top rack is the same as my Bosch, which must be about 8 years old now I guess and it works for me, wouldn't want to change it. However, they seem to have reversed the configuration of the lower rack and I don't know how I would get on with that. I guess it is just as easy to get used to. I hate anyone loading my dishwasher as they always put things in the wrong place as far as i am concerned and never fill it up as much as i do. Does anyone else get irritated by this???

~Does anyone else get irritated by this???~

Of course!
Especially my mum doesn´t know how to load a dishwasher..I think I should show pic´s! The way she loads it always make me upset!

My partner and I load the dishwasher all day long and when its time to wash the load I will unload it and reload it. My thought is that I can put more into it and maximize the space that I have. It drives him nuts! But my feeling is that if I want it to wash properly it needs to loaded properly. He will lay glasses down and overload the upper rack and when it comes to the silverware tray....it usually a mess because somehow he hasnt figured out that the spoon heads and forks go between the tines. When I load it everything has its place....I need help!

You don't need help, Mike, I used to do the same thing when my sister lived with me. It was a stretch to get any help and when it came to the dishwasher, she'd just leave everything in the sink or on the counter because; "you'll just re-arrange it if I put it in the machine anyway."

Ugh. From the mouths of slobs!

I would re-arrange the dishwasher according to the load being done, but not so much because I thought I could get more into it, but to ensure that everything had a fighting chance of getting clean. It was a MOL Hotpoint (GE clone) that was tragically crippled in it's ability to get anything washed, let alone a "BobLoad"!

all sounds familiar!! My partner now calls me to the kitchen when the dishwasher is nearly full and the latest meal carnage needs washing up and says "darling, I need your dishwasher loading skills cos it is nearly full and needs to go on". I go out and load in the latest batch and he is standing there offering me the detergent and I say "It isn't full yet so put that away", and walk off. Without fail, he will open the door and gaze in amazement as the dishwasher is miraculously only 3/4 full!! MEN!!!!

Re-arrange...

Ha Ha!

Was at parent's for tea; mum was loading her dishwasher, I tried to load a few items, but she has her own method of loading - AND insisted on pre-scrubbing and washing the grill-pan before placing in the machine!!! (...faints...!) LOL

"His Nibs" will load our machine, but I have to come along later and fiddle with his arrangement, because things are placed in the daftest, most unefficient place you can imagine!

Pre rinsing

What does this hark back to I wonder? When my Mum got her first dishwasher many years ago, I remember that she used to rinse the dinner plates off before loading, she hasn't done it for years thank goodness. Was it that the early dishwashers in the UK were not very good at cleaning and that you HAD to rinse things off? I went to a dinner party on 30/12/07 and the hostess washed all of the plates and bowls off before loading them into her TOL Bosch. I was so tempted to chastise her and having a tongue loosened by alcohol it was so tempting but I kept me gob shut!

i would have a kenwood dishwasher!!!

but only if it were one of these! i have put a search on ebay and it often returns the modern version of dishwasher you avoided but i would love one of these for my kitchen , i think a top loader is very unique, apparently they did not rate well by Which in the 60's but hey ho , but i don't know anyone who has ever had one !

Old adverts

I don't know about anyone else, but to me old advertisements always carry an air of quality and mystique about them. They seem to cause me to want the product!

Is that a daft thing to say?

 

[appnut]

No not a daft thing to say at all. That was the purpose of old ads. Peak interst, want the product. It wa all marketing and product positioning thought out well.
