Gotta love a white goods thread!                                                                                       

Shouldn't you be contorting yourself into a Volvo door or something? 

[ronnyd]

Had one when the kids (3) were at home. Now there,s just the two of us and due to her health issues, SWMBO doesn,t spend so much time on her feet in the kitchen.   That,s why i,m losing weight.

Replace it with a better one if you're only getting 3-4 years out of it 

We are a family of 5 (now down to 3 over last couple of years),our dishwasher was here when we bought the house 12 years ago and still works fine,its a smaller one too so has had a proper hammering

[Sir Tigger KC]

Replace it with a better one if you're only getting 3-4 years out of it 

I have an inherited 25 year old Indesit and it's still going strong! 

The soap dispenser doesn't work any more however, so I chuck a tablet in the cutlery box so that's alright and the motor stuck once, but a good thump with a hammer sorted that! 

[Rods2]

Do you only have two plates/bowls/cups etc

Ours is every other day unless some proper cooking is going on... 

Its a 12, possibly 14, place dishwasher. No idea why we create so much.  But then she's used 3 saucepans tonight, so that will half fill the bottom of it if I was able to use it

Thats an awful lots of tins of beans, just as well you're a growing lad, just not upwards anymore.

Just buy a Chinese knock-off element of Eboy.com for a few £££s, delivered by Friday, fitted at the weekend, job, jobed ready for xmas & while you are waiting for delivery you can put up the xmas smilies.

It is curious how issues with delivery’s, things not working frequently and going through four tyres and discs and pads every week does only happen to eBoy. The only common denominator for all these issues that I can see is, err, eBoy

On a similar note, the chest freezer swmbo bought in 1984 has apparently finally cried enough. I went out to the shed to retrieve a loaf from it last night and noticed it was silent, and the red alarm light was lit.
Initially this was great news to me as I hate the thing with a passion. I even left out in the elements one winter, about 15 years ago, but the fickin fired into life as soon as it was plugged in again.
However, swmbo is insistent she wants another chest type freezer at least as big as the old one. Theres only the two of us and we already have one of those tall, all in one fridge freezers in the kitchen, but apparently that is nowhere near big enough !

Talking of delivery issues, Amazon Prime disgraced themselves again yesterday. So need to chase that up with them when I get home, unless they deliver today

Henryd in our old house we had a compact one, and it was superb. Hotpoint mind. A mate has it and it still works.

Is it just new stuff that’s shite?

When I refitted our new kitchen 3 years ago decided to include a dishwasher as for the past 36 years of marriage/2 kids and plenty of dirty dishes never really saw the point in them.

SWTSMBO put her foot down and insisted we have a dishwasher in the new layout so being a good guy I obliged.

Went online and searched all options and eventually decided on a Neff built in 14 place model.Did the usual compare costs etc and after finding John Lewis would price match bought from them with free delivery and 5 year warranty.

Have to be honest its quite simply the best kitchen aide we have ever had and works a treat.Quite /offers plenty of options up to a 2.5 hour 70 degree chef wash which brings thinks back to almost new.Only slight gripe is after a while tumbler glasses get marked and look like those from the pub,but are cheap enough to just buy a new pack.

Buy a new one is my advise as they aren't wildly expensive and save the grief of repairing something that might just pack up again soon .

You sound like my parents - although it was my Dad who wanted one, not my Mum.. she decreed it would "Only be used at Christmas".

They've had two, now (because they moved house and put one in the second house, too) and it gets used every day

[biggriffin]

Ours stopped, working last week, 13months old, phoned the manufacturer help line, no joy, phoned the retailer, again no joy, phoned Trading standards, very helpful, said download this letter, send it off signed for, await reply.. retailer phoned after reading the letter, coming to repair it Monday... All done under sale of goods.

[Mister Rog]

Get a new dishwasher . . . .

But might not be possible if you're already married.   

[TheBoy]
