Cooker vs dishwasher - kitchen/cooking enthusiasts' opinions please!

[MotherForkinShirtBalls]

We are getting our kitchen redone. I love cooking and baking. I have a double oven that I'm perfectly happy with. I have a really shit hob. I have a dishwasher that I hate with the fury of a thousand suns. I have the budget for a fuck off amazing four oven, 6 burner range style cooker that I fell in love with about two years ago. I recently discovered an eye wateringly expensive but very impressive dishwasher. If I buy the dishwasher I could keep my current very good double oven and buy a very nice hob and have good enough cooking facilities for all but maybe 3 days of the year (high days and holidays). I would relish the fuck out of the fuck off range for those three days though. If I buy the dishwasher, I would have happy dishwasher feelings on at least 350 (allowing for 2 weeks holidays) days of the year. I think practicality needs to win out here, doesn't it?

Range all the way, bog standard dishwasher should still leave dishes sparkling

Just buy an average dishwasher that works. Problem solved. No need for either eye watering expense or drama about hating an appliance "with the fury of a thousand suns".

there is EVERY reason to hate an appliance "with the fury of a thousand suns"

I have a fridge freezer which MUST be a close relative of the OP's dishwasher, the door handles are bastards, the doors are no better...they might open if you just walk by them, they might need a competition involving men who can pull truck with their pants, the drawers might hold a bag of peas, or they might refuse to close if you dare to add a small tub of leftovers, the bottom drawer will never just open or close, the ice tray leaks
The fridge door can only remain open for fractions of a micro second before the door open alarm sounds and it closes into the fridge so if you have anything more than a half pound of butter on the bottom shelf the milk falls over.

I'd set fire to it given the slightest encouragement .

Go on, do it!

@LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow
freecycle it and give it to the biggest cf bidding for it.

You are all very bad to encourage me. :o

I am hoping one of the children will hurry up and move out and I'll be able to pass it on. and buy a lovely new one

Any old dishwasher will do pretty much the same job IMO, but the cooker will make a difference so I am in camp range.
