Our Indesit Dishwasher has packed up so we are on the lookout for a new one. With all the aquisitions a mergers over the years I have no idea what is a good brand these days. So any recommendations? I was thinking of a basic machine around the £250 mark.
TIA

One of the Bosch Classixx machines.

Up your budget and buy a Miele. the lifetime cost will be substantially less than a succession of entry level machines.
I have Bosch washing machines and dishwashers (one Logix one Classix) and in both cases they are excellent. Agree with comment about entry level machines but I have had one or two top of range German appliances which were not all that good.
AEG F40660 was a recent Which bestbuy, IIRC
You might want to consider the "Kid" brand. I have one, about 4 years old now, and really getting quite good at doing the washing. Tend to avoid sharp things, but other than that, it understands the concept of elbow grease and getting things clean. And all it costs me is a pack of sweets each week, though I'm sure inflationary pressures will soon kick in, especially when Kid merges with Adolesence in the coming years.

Could this be "the wonder appliance of the future" described in 1960s sci-fi programmes - washes dishes, cleans chimneys, unblocks drains, feeds cables through tight spaces ...
Is that an accurate estimate of the TCO or do you not give it clothes and a kennel to sleep in?

make the most of that phase, Ian.
She'll never know so much ever again.
I presume you mean She as in the traditional SWMBO ? Unfortunately, she left us some time ago. Hence, my use of child labor whilst I can get away with it!
Don't know about you but I've had all sorts of problems with the wheels on the lower basket of my Classixx dishwasher. The wheels that the basket run on fall off regularly. Then the basket skews sideways and falls on the floor.
Having said that, once the dirty dishes are actually in the machine it does a fantastic job!

I expect you will find reliability to fall off sharply after about the 11th year of ownership :-)
