Dishwasher recommendations

[CageyH]

After 14 years of use, it appears that the heating element in my Bosch dishwasher has waved the white flag. I am in no hurry as I won’t be needing it until January.

Although I am tempted to replace the heating element, I fear it is the start of the end...

So the question is, do I replace it with another Bosch or something like a Miele?
It is a 60cm free standing dishwasher.

We have just replaced our Miele dishwasher at work after 20 years continuous use, HEAVY use. The replacement dishwasher is another Miele Jubilee Immer Besser. It cleans even better than the old one and is very very quiet. So there you go, my recommendation is a Miele!

Either would be a good buy in my view, go on features and price.

The dishwasher will be cheaper....

As it is the Mrs that does the cooking when we have friends round, I feel guilty about making her do the dishes as well.

We switched to a Miele G6620 SC freestanding dishwasher a couple of months ago after the old Whirlpool heating element went (tripped the RCD each time it ran).

New machine is way better than the old Whirlpool we inherited with the house. Very quiet, cleans very well. Clever design of the baskets and cutlery tray. Just does the job well.

We have had a Bosch dishwasher for nearly 10 years and a while back the Missus wanted to replace it because in her words it didn’t work as well as it used to. I run it empty with two tablets and then run it again with some Bosch cleaner and then again with the Bosch descaler. Also cleaned out the drain well at the bottom. It worked like new after that. Now we clean and descale it every few months. Chances are if you replace the element it will work fine for a while yet, just clean it regularly.
