on a serious note
surely being vigorously washed at 60 degrees in filtered water for over an hour is better than me rubbing a sponge over them for 10 seconds and stacking them on the drainer to dry?

i have on of them, she must be faulty as she doesn't work doing the dishes.... the warranty's run out on her too!
Dishwashers are cheaper, require less maintenance, and you can always upgrade when you feel like it.
Dishwashers in the trade (IE kitchens etc) are usually not meant for cleaning but for sterilization after a hand wash.
If my kitchen was bigger than a postage stamp then I'd probably have one, but it wouldn't fully replace using the sink for most things,

I'm the opposite. Water in my flat is bloody vile. I like it boiled to death.

Do not buy Indesit, Ariston, Creda or Hotpoint then.
Go for Bosch or Miele.
Funnily enough Siemens never came up in the 1000s of quality meetings I attended on domestic appliances.

what makes me laugh is the people i have seen who take all the dirty dish's and rinse them of in "THE SINK" then put them in the dishwasher. Whats the point?, you might as well wash them up in the sink in the 1st place, thus saving time, electric and water.

Miele for the win, shame that you're not in Portugal, you could get the cleaner to do it for you.
Yea what's with that? When I went to Portugal they did everything, they like slaves, she could not even speak English.

We've had a dishwasher for the last 5 years and have probably used it about 20 times (mostly the first year)
I just don't see the point of them - I can do the dishes in the sink in 10minutes - and there's only 3 of us in the house (and someone still has to scrape the stuff off the plates and load/unload the thing)
Also the fact that it increased our electric bill by about £15 which I wasn't too happy about.

Lol. Erm, she might have been Portuguese, with no interest or need to learn English.

I repair dishwashers and the difference in those two machines is like compairing an Aston Martin Vanquish to a Ford Focus. They both get you from a to b but one does it with style 
Also imho the Hotpoint has a projected life span of 5 years and the Miele 10+.

Get a counter top dishwasher? They're cheap and take up little space.
