New brand of washers on comet uk

Thanks Andy

So it seems basic Hoover/Candy dishwashers are infact Midea, rather than Matsui/Essentials being Hoover/Candy?!!

The Hoover machine i'm referring to which looks similar (around the base of the cabinet at least) to the Matsui my Gran has is in the link below. The Kenwood one that looked even more similar to the Matsui/Essentials offering is no longer on the Currys website. As i said, i was pretty horrified when i found out Gran had bought it, but since her fairly pricey Bosch lasted all of 18 months-2 years, there wasn't much i could say! It's outlived said Bosch, anyway. Though i do believe she uses powder detergent & i'm pretty certain everything is seperate (ie salt in the salt dispenser). I think it's only ever used on the 50c Eco program, too.

Would be interesting to find out for sure who makes the White Knight washer. Are we pretty certain it's Midea, and that the UK White Goods website could be wrong in saying Vestel?

We had a Matsui built in dishwasher installed in our new office. It was AWFUL, the wheels on the runners kept falling off and the repair man was called 3 times in a month. In the end it went back to the supplier and a Hotpoint built in was installed. Not a bad D/W and no call outs in two years. It is on at least twice a day catering for staff from 3 dept's ( roughly 60 staff ).

Don't Worry!

Don't worry, i won't be buying one! I think it's been more a case of luck that my Gran's dishwasher has lasted as long as it has, rather than anything to do with the quality of it!

If it was my money i'd probably have to grin & bear the top rack design & go for a Zanussi, or if i was feeling like really budgetting, i'd give a Beko a whirl, seen as they appear better lasting than their laundry appliances.

That said, Hotpoint's diswashers seem to be more reliable/better lasting than their washing machines too - my Auntie's one is at least 5 years old & has been faultless, despite being used at least once a day.
