Don't want to come across as a party pooper but...
I must admit, seing those dials makes me feel a bit melancholic about my very first brand new dishwasher when I moved into my new place back in 2000... however, it was my worst dishwashing nightmare! Dials, buttons and the shape of the control panel were identical to this washer's... but I hope for the goodness of the user of this Indesit that the similarity amongst these appliances stops here!
I was quite enthusiastic a first of my new dishwasher, although it was already struggling to clean my cutley properly, but after a about a year its wash performance declined drastically to the point that I had to re-wash by hand at least a third of the dishwashed load! Filter cleans and maintenance washes were countless... but they would make very little change to wash performance.
It gave up the ghost after about 3 years... and now thinking back... I'm so grateful for that! I am still convinced that no manufacturer can make a dishwasher as bad as that... as I learned from using other dishwashers. Probably that was what started my entire admiration for Candy, having replaced this appliance with a Candy dishwasher that managed to restore my faith in dishwashing! I also have plenty of experience with a Zoppas-Electrolux dishwasher and some with a Bosch dishwasher and I can again praise their performance in comparison to the Indesit's.
Probably I'm just not lucky enough with Indesit products... just recently another dire experience with a 3 year old Hotpoint Indesit made dishwasher at my place of work... same story... it can't wash dishes properly (mostly mugs), having said that... it was very good when it came to wash the entire canteen floor: it just flooded the place the blasted thing!
Anyway... as the title suggests, I really don't want to spoil your enthusiasm for this machine, I just felt I needed to vent these emotions and I couldn't find any other recent Indesit related thread... so please accept my excuses if you feel I offended you in any way. I still like some of their products... I love the design of their 'Prime' range, especially the washing machine
