Smeg or Bosch dishwasher ?

[MrMarkyMark]

even decent error reporting, the error code it gave me on the first run was spot on

Bet that wasn't offshored then

I had connected up the waste pipe but not removed the bung.

Didn't you know there's a small team of Indians hiding in the dishwasher, probably from Tech Mahindra

[I just need to test it]

Had bad experiences with Bosch laundry though

My Bosch tumble drier is a petulant fop. It tells ME how long it intends running for, then the minute I leave it alone it usually changes its mind. Often it has told me "2.5 hours, guvnor" yet when I return 20 minutes later it has stopped.

"Why?" I implore it.

"Everything's dry, wassock" it replies, despite the contents being clearly damp.

It's infuriating. Sometimes I sit with it in the utility room, like a midwife coaxing an expectant mother through labour, repeatedly pressing "START", urging it for "One more push", encouraging it to "Bring me dry towels".

it's rubbish.

We have a new kitchen coming at the end of the month and went Neff for everything except the fridge freezer. Who needs a warchest!!!!

As someone else pointed out Bosch, Neff and Siemens are part of the Bosch.

Faulty/dirty sensor? The likelihood of each being related to how old it is?

My AEG did similar and in the end went and replaced with the cheapest of chips Tumble Drier I could find as an interim measure (aka keeping the missus happy) - t'was a BEKO for £150ish - wife is very impressed with its performance and I am now of the mind to buy the cheapest white goods and discard at first sign of trouble rather than shelling out for fitting:

• new heater elements -AEG
• rotary dial mechanical connections - Bosch (why oh why make that part out of plastic Mr Bosch?)

The only issue of course being badge snobbery prevalent within the laundry operative community

Just working out how I can transfer AEG nameplates onto a Beko

I think this isn't a bad shout. You will likely replace it more often (though some cheapo white goods last for ages) but on the plus side you will likely benefit from improvements in efficiency, etc.

It's always been like it, d000hg. We have read of other owners encountering similar problems. I have been a bit of a sucker for Bosch goods but the last two (this tumble drier and a cordless strimmer) have both really boiled my peas.

But how well does it do potatoes?

Bosch dishwasher just coming up for 10 yrs old. Very reliable but does get a bit hot at the back.
