What dishwasher would you recommend?

[Twiceover]

Horrifyingly our dishwasher seems to be on its way out. crosses fingers and hopes it will last to new year. We need to replace it.

We had a Bosch one that was rubbish and never seemed to work very well. This one is a hotpoint and has been ok.

Oh wise mumsnetters, what dishwasher would you recommend? We are a family of 4 so it is used at least once a day. I want easy to load and efficient cleaning. Thanks.

You can get some lovely dishwashers here at really good prices:-)

Even though they're not the best appliance manufacturer (and I wouldn't really consider them for a clothes washing machine) - Both DM and I have Hotpoint Dishwashers and I have very impressed with them.

Sorry, THIS is the one I have.

It is only about 18 month old, but it has been great so far, cleans great, and has lots of cycles; even a "soak" cycle (a 10 minute rinse cycle that you can run after each meal throughout the day so the machine doesn't get smelly whilst waiting for the main cycle - I haven't seen that feature on a dishwasher for about 15 years).

Been very happy with it.

I've got a Beko slim line. Very happy with it. Good make, reasonable price.
