New dishwasher (to follow on from the kitchen mixer thread below)...
So our dishwasher stopped working again and rather than pay for another callout and extended warranty I just bought a new one. It's a built in one (ie the sort where you put a kitchen cupboard door on the front so it's hidden away). But this has always previously been problematic for me since there is nothing to show you how long the wash will last.
Not with this new model. It has a discreet projector on the bottom which produces a little heads-up display thing on the kitchen floor with the time to go, some icons showing what cycle stage it's at etc, etc. Very useful. But the best bit, imho, is that it does this with an effect a bit like Princess Leia's hologram message hidden within R2D2.
This IS the dishwasher you've been looking for.
Like PSRB and his mixer, I am a bit overly chuffed with it.
It also washes dishes very well.
When I need to know how much longer the dishwasher is going to take
I just ask her how much longer she will be. I find it is polite to use please and thankyou.
Ours is on the way out as well, need a new American fridge/freezer as well
the bloody water dispenser is bust and the internal fan is knacked as well
We got an excellent new Samsung one last year. I really, really wanted to avoid a Chelsea
sponsored fridge, but it was the best and is indeed ace.
Ours is a Samsung, bought prior to me being on the scene
I might add
The freezer part works fine but the fridge bit is on the way out
We have put pictures by Hazel over the manufacturer's name.
I loved the dishwasher they had in one of the bars in Munich, must have taken 2 minutes top
to clean all the glasses, marvellous piece of kit
Ours is Samsung too, love the door we have to get at the drinks holder in the door.
Reserved for beer, that one!
