Get a one with a variable thurst impeller sprocket and a decarbonising filter on the inlet dispersion valve. By far the best.

I think Indesit is a good make and I would go for one that easy to use ....not with a load of fancy buttons that you havent a clue what they are for,

Thanks Hayley I'll have a look at that. dont need a fancy one ,long as it does the job.
The reason I didnt get one before was I got put off them,as my MIL's wasnt very good, cups were all stained etc. That was 30 yrs ago and i know theres better on the market and the tablets/powder etc.

Marion, I went to New Zealand last year and, in an apartment we stayed in, there was a half-size dishwasher fitted UNDER the oven. We couldn't believe it and kept peeking at it! And it worked brilliantly. Haven't seen them here yet!

Also look for how much water they use per wash, mine also has a half wash which will either wash the top or bottom shelf. Also well worth paying for extra warranty if you can get it.

I do wash glasses in my dishwasher and they come out perfectly, no spots or stains, never had a problem.

It is also best if cleaned once a month. I use a cup of white vinegar or cleaning vinegar and just run a cycle with the dishwasher empty. Also clean filters, it is easy to do.
