If your dishwasher is over 7 years old...

[MissAtomicBomb1]

What brand is it?

Ours has just died after 6 years. Previous one was the same age when it conked out.
I know this is about the average life of them but wondering if it's worth forking out a bit more for a Bosch or whatever. Not bothered about fancy features, just want it to wash well (preferably without the arms getting blocked every 5 mins!)

For reference our past ones have been Kenwood/Russell Hobbs
Also live in a hard water area which doesn't help at all.

I have had 2x Bosch and never again. They didn’t wash properly. I e has an AEG for a few years now and it’s great.

I had a Neff that lasted for 20 years. Then had a Beko for 4 years and now onto another Beko, not because I wanted one but due to dimensions as it is integrated and I couldn’t be bothered with anything going wrong with the fitting!

I hated my Bosch, so much so I actually replaced it whilst it was still working and bought a Miele.

Bosch. At least 12 years old and we have hard water

Mine is 12 years old, switched on almost every day, as we are a family of five, plus guests every weekend! It’s a Siemens, well worth it, never even needed an engineer

Beko.. On every day for over 9 years without incident..

We had a Bosch for 12 years . Changed it when we did up the kitchen and got a whirlpool cos I wanted built in. I think about that Bosch often 😂 It was brilliant.! Never any problems and much better and quieter than this one. I kind of hope this will go at 6 years to be honest i hate it so much.

20 years old. It's a NEFF. It probably is on borrowed time now but it's still pretty ok.

We have a Bosch. Dunno how old it is as it was here when we moved in which was ten years ago. Still going strong. Used every day.

For hard water area, use salt even though you supposedly dont need to. I started using it and the difference was amazing. Can be hard to find but can get it on Amazon if cant find locally.

Our Miele was put in in 1990 😬 and still going strong. Large family too so gets plenty of use

Bosch. My husband bought it in 2000. Years before I met him.

Beko here too. The choice for integrated was limited and the alternative was nearly £1000. No way! Cutlery tray, very quiet, it’s done its duty.

Bosch. Bought it in 2010 or 2011.
Hard water area.

Ours is a Bosch. Works well, think it’s nine years old

Indesit, 9yo and still going strong 🤞

bosch
at least 7 years old
used most days
it washes well, nothing spectacular. would get a mid range machine again.

Mine is a 17 year old bosch

Bosch > 10 years old - and we have hard water

We bought ours when we moved in 2007, Siemens. Did you try getting yours repaired?

Mine is a Bosch, somewhere between 13 and 17 years old. Hard water area with no softener until 2 years ago.

A cheap and cheerful Beko with no whistles or bells but it does the job.

My Zanussi died after eleven years of daily use. I would have got another Zanussi, but the specs had changed.

Bought a Hisense 3 years ago. It's been my least favourite dishwasher of my lifetime but can't put my finger on why exactly. The door clip is now broken and I don't have the heart to try and fix it, so watching this thread with interest..!

40 year old Neff - not a typo! Hard water area, no hard water filter, and still going strong. Will finally be replaced this summer as we are redoing the kitchen. We should probably donate it to a museum. I bet they don't make them like that anymore!
