I never really had myself down as a "dishwasher person". My usual system of getting my husband to do the job was completely satisfactory to me. I never really saw the need to buy a dishwasher, concluding that they took up too much kitchen space, cost a lot to run and took ages to do a job that would normally take a couple of minutes. Despite this, I always noticed that people who own dishwashers claim that they can't live without them, I suppose a bit like life before other appliances that we now all take for granted such as washing machines. It's funny how a machine or appliance evolves from being a luxury item, to something that everyone owns (take ...  Read the complete review

As I said on Monday my new dishwasher came. I ordered a Beko 5410S the S being for silver. I really wasn't to worried what I got white or silver as long as I didn't have to do the dishes any longer!! I ended up with the silver as this could be delivered on the following Monday or a 3 week wait for the white one. It cost me £20 more for silver though!!

Avoid! avoid! avoid! I purchased this model last august Firstly I noticed that it wasnt getting the pots as clean as one would expect, I first thought maybe it had something to do with the tablets I was using so changed to a more expensive brand hoping that would solve the problem, Unfortuanly it didnt solve the problem, In the end I had to rinse the pots in the sink prior to loading them in the dishwasher. Then I noticed a leak coming from around the door so had to have a new door seal fitted... The final straw came was when it suddenly made a high pitched screaming sound and then stopped!! leaving a pool of dirty water at the ...  Read the complete review
