Fully integrated dishwashers

If that's the case, why is efficiency so important? :p

Of course once you take into account the cost of dishwasher tablets etc it might work out more expensive for you but I think most people will agree it's a convenience/time saver thing rather than an efficiency thing.

Well because I care about trying to use things efficiently. I'm under no illusions that my personal electrical consumption will affect the world either way, but I should at least still try and be responsible :).

I'm also a tight git and every penny saved..:p.

I view it purely as time vs money

How much time does it take to wash up.
How much would you get paid at work (the value of your time) for that amount of time.

Then see which works out better.

I also absolutely hate washing up, so i learned to cook when i first moved out from my parents place, and as such my house mates always had to wash up :D
Now I have a dishwasher.
 
I have an interested dishwasher and the only problem I have with it is (when the door is closed) there's no display to see when it's on, programme being used, time left, etc. I may go semi-integrated or free standing next time.

Bosch/Neff/Siemens have a built in dishwasher that projects the time on the floor.
 
Okay, well after the various reports of DIY, I removed the old appliance after taking off the kickboard etc, when disconnecting the electrical supply, noticed a little bodge has been done.
The plug had been cut off and the various wires screwed into a little block and the hidden into the crevice in the wall where the plug socket had been removed.

Stripped that down and the fitted a faceplate so I could plug my appliance in.
Fitted it, and during the process have now realised why the bodge was done.
The cupboard and carcass depth are such that a flat blacked appliance sits out several mm beyond other cupboard doors.
The plug had been stripped off to save a few mm of space and the socket faceplate removed for a similar reason.

So now I have a further question, any suggestions on how one might rectify the situation within involving the nasty bodge?
Basically I am sitting forward maybe 8-10 mm beyond where I would like to be, no amount of pushing is going to fix matters.
 
Cutting the plug off the end, or buy a new connector?
Its a modified kettle lead like connector, don't really want to cut the original if I can avoid it. Probably use a different one.
 
Usually the sockets are positioned in the unit next to the dishwasher for this very reason. Might cost you a few quid but Id get a spark in to move the socket to the next unit so its done properly and you know its safe.
