Best Dishwashers

How can I activate the water hardness setting - I’ve held down the setup for 3 seconds and moved through all the options but the H:00-07 is not… Read more

there. Australia does have hard water in areas and I want to turn this on to reduce lime scale buildup on my dishes - why has Bosch disabled this and can it be reactivated?

Would not recommend. Only lasted 6.5yrs Purchased 05/2019. Extended 5 yr warranty didn't start after the manufacturers warranty it started from the… Read more

date or purchase. Will just be getting the cheapest brand next time as that's all I would expect then to last. I would expect a westinghouse to last around 10yrs

I have to give Bosch credit After moving house furniture myself for flooring works, reconnecting my own dishwasher and accidentally connecting the… Read more

drain hose into a non functional plumbing outlet under the sink (who knew one hole was fake ), my Bosch Series 6 detected the drainage issue immediately, stopped itself, held all the water safely inside the machine and basically said “something is wrong here” instead of flooding the kitchen.

Once connected correctly, it drained perfectly, completed the cycle and ran without issue.

German engineering at its finest - very impressive.

Bosch dishwasher with German manufactured parts dead after 3.5 years. Paid over $1000. Fine for 3 years, then constantly started stopping mid-cycle… Read more

with no error codes. Was able to be reset a couple of times, then the LED crystal display died. No power, nothing.

Local repairer reckons it's the PC Board after discussing over phone, which is a $400 part, then labour on top, maybe a $700 repair....Lol.

After advising Bosch, all we get is argumentative email exchanges with an overseas service centre outside of local hours.

So dissapointing for a mid-level appliance trumpeting German components. We should have just bought something Chinese for alot less, or a proper premium brand and spent some more money.

No more Bosch products. Don't waste your money!

Coming from an 8-year-old F&P DishDrawer, I absolutely love this Bosch SMU6HAS01A dishwasher. It cleans better (even on the 60-minute quick cycle)… Read more

and dries better too (including plastics). The only downside compared to a dual DishDrawer is that when a cycle is running, there’s nowhere to put dirty dishes. But in every other way, this Bosch is a huge improvement. What really surprised me is that one Bosch cycle uses about the same water and energy as a single DishDrawer, yet it holds around 2.5x more and cost about $1,000 less. I nearly didn’t buy it because of some of the negative Series 6 reviews online. Very glad I did.

Lasted 9 years. It’s too expensive to repair. I expected more from a premium brand. Will be buying a Bosch.

Paid RRP for this new model and lasted 2.5 years before main board burnt out. Technician said F1 fault code which is water flooding but it was dry as… Read more

a bone so he said might be cockroaches. $500 to get fix. Yes the dish draws are practical but not built to last.

This dishwasher has flooded my floor twice and decided to break again last week by flashing the snowflake symbol. Had for about 6 years so just out… Read more

of warrenty. Interface hard to understand l. Would I reccomend, def not. Save yourself the hassle and find something else. Thinking I should cut my losses and not fix for a fourth time.

I wish there was an option for negative star ratings — this has honestly been the worst dishwasher experience ever. We’ve already paid over $1100… Read more

for repairs and have been waiting 3–4 weeks for parts to arrive. Extremely frustrating.

I used to be a huge fan of Bosch dishwashers, but sadly the quality seems to have dropped significantly. I own two Bosch dishwashers and both broke down just over a year later.

Really disappointing experience overall. Save yourself the hassle and think twice before buying.

Dreadfully unreliable dishwasher. Was delivered with mis-aligned button panel rendering it inoperable. They fixed this under warranty. Failed again… Read more

after 4 years, service claims it needs both drain hose and inlet hose replaced (my plumber had previously assessed it and said only drain hose was the issue). Service quotes repair costs of around 50% of machine value and refuses to install it (i.e. plug it back in and put the hose back) after repairs claiming that is a separate service. I would never buy a product from this brand again. Both the build quality of their product and support provided has been miserable. Machine will now sadly go into land fill as I will replace with another brand.

The dishwasher is working ok, but then we always rinse the dishes completely. The problem is that the marketing says the capacity is 14 place… Read more

settings. Yes maybe, if they’re doll sized. For adult sized china settings, on the left side you can load saucers or you can load cups but not both unless you’re happy to split the row into half cups and half saucers. Definitely not 14 of each. On the right side glasses need to be fairly short because if they’re taller tumblers or wine glasses, they will tip over. So on the right side, again you can load either saucers or glassware but not both, and there’s a 3” aisle between the rows where you could load long handled utensils but nothing else. Just not a good use of space.

Omega benchtop dishwasher tap connection change – Ten years ago I had benchtop dishwasher and the plumber connected five minute to my tap like snap in and out of the tap. Now they change the hose… Read more

like washing machine and there is no tap adaptor or anything. Unfortunately I live in government housing and in apartment and they said they will make a hole into kitchen bench I refuse no way. This why I bought linarie benchtop dishwasher which I love it I love omega too but it’s useless if you can’t connect it to the tap so I am returning it back I love omega benchtop . I wish they make it two option and make it useable like linarie benchtop dishwasher like people who Has no hose connection they can filled water manually like linarie and Medea benchtop dishwasher where you don’t need tap connections. This why it’s called benchtop. The day they make it two option honestly I will buy it in a heartbeat even if cost me $1000. I am today very sad the Harvey Norman guys going to take away my omega benchtop dishwasher and I am Getting refund. I love it so much because I had this ten years ago. I request omega please make your benchtop dishwasher by have two options one hose which connects to the tap and one of people have problem with water inlet hose connection they should put water manually and they should put little screen with a timer and which shows that if people choose to put water manually at least the dishwasher says it’s full like linarie. I love my linarie dishwasher. I hope omega think about it not everyone owns the house not everyone can find tap connections it’s better one fill the water themself into dishwasher it’s not need hard though. So please dear omega think about what I said if you want people to buy your product. Also if you decide to make it so people put manually please make it like little tray where you pull the tray like linarie benchtop dishwasher and fill the water manually in the bottom not on the top because a lot of people have arthritic . I hope you consider my request as soon you make this change I will get omega benchtop dishwasher .

Model DD60ST19 Fisher & Paykel (my second replacement) fully integrated single XL drawer- looks impressive - performance however not!!! As a 2… Read more

persons household, usage for general dishes only as stainless steel pots & Crystal always done by hand. Unit was installed by Fisher & Paykel team in Feb 2024. From onset the inside always has pooled water on inside rim which was brushed off as condensation & told to use longer cycle however none of the cycles dried the interior & have to constantly wipe inside rim & drain cups etc on a tea towel. Just one week after 12 months expiry the circuitry went & luckily as good will gesture it was replaced free of charge as they found the component design to be faulty & upgraded it with new unit. As an Interior Designer my experience is there are better dishwasher at a much cheaper price however if its "Designer Look " then this model achieves that.

Shortly after the warranty expired problems began. Flimsy plastic parts of the racks broke, the rinse aid indicator fell out and the rinse aid… Read more

function stopped working totally. The machine began to give error codes as the impeller refused to stay on the shaft until I drilled a small hole through it and permanently glued it with a loctite product. Over time the machine began to be extremely noisy and eventually the pump failed totally. I would not recommend the product at all. Customer service simply did not want to know about it.

Very high quality and service – The Domain DWB-W1 is of excellent built quality and performance. I own this small footprint dishwasher since over one year and it has never failed.… Read more

It is easy to use and the programs are simple and work well. I am a single household with two large dogs and I am happy with the cleanness and low water and electricity consumption. The result is always highly satisfactory. I love it and it is suitable for a small household.

I am writing this to warn other Australians before they spend $1,700+ on this LG QuadWash (Model XD3A25MB). After normal use, the internal components… Read more

of this machine have started to disintegrate, leaving a disgusting, black tar-like residue all over my "clean" dishes. This gunk is incredibly difficult to remove and even stains your skin when you touch the racks. I took this to the tribunal (ACL claim), but LG successfully fought it by producing a generic service report claiming "harsh chemicals" caused the damage. This is a complete deflection of responsibility for a clear manufacturing defect. The proof that their "chemical" excuse is nonsense is on the outside of the machine. The "Start" button on the control panel has bubbled and peeled away completely. Unless dishwashing tablets are now airborne and attacking the exterior of the unit, this is undeniably a failure of poor-quality materials. Bing Lee and LG have left me with a machine that is unsanitary and falling apart. If you value your health and your money, stay away from LG dishwashers. They would rather spend effort on legal loopholes than building a product that lasts. Pros: None. Cons: Leaves black residue on plates, control panel peels off, terrible manufacturer support.

This Dishwasher cleaned well intially, but was quite loud. Less than a year in, began tripping the power, after over $700 of electrical visits and… Read more

repairs, and 4 service visits that could find no fault, F&P (parent company) agreed to replace, Suprise Suprise new machine in place and no more power trips! Costly expense and money that we did not have, as well as months and months without a dishwasher while it was away getting checked! Replacement Haier has also had to be returned faulty after only less than a week of use! Will never buy Haier or FP again!

This dishwasher must have been designed by someone who had never actually used a dishwasher in their life. I’ve had Bosch dishwashers for the last 20… Read more

years and have always loved them, so I replaced my last one with another Bosch - big mistake! I want my old dishwasher back. Here are the problems: 1. You practically have to break your finger to push the button hard enough for it to register that it’s been pressed, as the buttons do not depress they’re just meant to be touch sensitive. 2. The new cutlery drawer is useless but luckily you can remove it and throw it away. The problem is that if you use the cutlery drawer there’s not enough room on the regular top row for tall glasses or drink bottles. 3. The sections in the cutlery basket are much smaller because they have to go over the prongs as there’s no dedicated cutlery basket area any more, so the walls in the cutlery basket are so wide the pockets that the cutlery sits in are much smaller, for example, I can’t fit the immersion blender bottom in the cutlery basket any more. 4. The dishes seem to come out much wetter than my old machine, even after selecting the “extra dry” function

Get a different brand!!

We purchased in late 22. it has worked flawlessy for 3 years with a family of 5, with relitaves and friends. the machine is doing at least 1 to 1.5… Read more

washes a day on the hottest pots and pan cycle. We run a cleaning tablet throught it every fortnight or so as the kids are not the best at scraping their plates. At 3 years and 1 month, the rotor shaft magnet on the wash pump cracked in half.... I will update this review pending how well harvey norman/ariston deal with this in warranty.

It is quite a basic dishwasher, but performs very well. I noticed at first the racks are different to all other dishwashers I’ve ever owned, but… Read more

once I figured out which dishes could fit where, I was pleasantly surprised at how versatile they are! My favourite part has become the little removable plastic divider in the upper rack, because food containers fit in there very well. When the wine glass stem holders are folded out, they keep containers and plastic cups secured underneath. None of the lower racks are foldable, but have wide enough gaps to fit saucepans and frying pans.

There’s only 4 cycles on this thing, which are selected by turning a knob. There is a time remaining display with delay start and “Speed Perfect” buttons, which shorten the times a little on Pots & Pans, Auto and Eco in much the same way my last dishwasher did on “half load” setting. Express can’t be used with Speed Perfect, but that cycle only goes for 30 minutes, while cutting out the drying part completely. I can’t even remember the last time I had to run something through again, it does a really good job cleaning dishes on all cycles! Filter is easy to remove and clean. Can't be paused mid-cycle, but does pick up where it left off if you turn off via power button, open the door then turn it back on again, or if the power goes out momentarily.

Rinse aid dispenser can’t be manually adjusted, and it does drink quite a bit, so I always make sure to have some on hand. I can only assume it automatically adjusts dose, because I live in a hard water area but don’t get streaks on the dishes like I used to. Sliding tablet dispenser door isn't very durable though, about 18 months in, the spring and seal popped out, but was pretty easy to put back together myself.

The machine was faulty from day one. The touch pad was A real TROUBLE. Buttons were not functioning. Customer service is extremely hard to get in… Read more

touch with. The website is pushing you to select a date and a time FORCED on you. Very inflexible. Three( 3) service guys came and each time they found it hard to recognize the problem. First one replaced the Touchpad on his second visit. Still was a failure. Second guy re adjusted. Third guy said it had not been set up/ programmed right. Now it is ok. But if your body touches the Touchpad by accident it gets activated. ( it is under the island bench and kitchen sink) Now l switch it off from the wall outlet each time I will NEVER touch anything FISHER AND PAYCLE.

Not as it was expected, we have replaced the old Miele after 20 years but we are not that impressed with the new one, doesn't dry properly. Show details

The only innovative dishwasher out there – I have had this dishwasher for nearly 4 years and I’m a big fan of it. It will be hard to go back to any dishwasher without the bottom tray lifting… Read more

up to a reasonable height. People are amazed. It's like a party trick. Friends told me the mechanism wouldn't last but it has and is very sturdy. The spongy blue inserts deteriorated over time but Electrolux contacted me to resolve this and I now have all-new replacements.

The machine washes well, and opens up to let out steam at the end of the cycle, which we live but it does freak out visitors(!) Everything is dry and although it doesn't fit as much as some other models, it doesn't mind some food scraps and being jam-packed.

Euromaid dishwasher 14PL stainless steel – My dishwasher is getting flooded and stops working. I always have to tilt it sideways to remove flooded water to restart the dishwasher. I wouldn't recommend. Show details

Just a dishwasher – Our choice was limited because of the 450mm size, i.e. this is a replacement dishwasher for an existing cavity in the kitchen benches. This… Read more

dishwasher was cheap enough, but it never, repeat never, gets all of the dishes clean, and routinely misses items at the front on the top rack. We don't over fill it and we use Finish, so are not scrimping on tablets etc. Very disappointing.

Was great while it lasted – Purchased from Harvey Norman 2 years ago. The machine comes with a 5 year guarantee but the guarantee isn't worth the paper it's written on. Machine… Read more

started giving an error - F3 ten days ago. I called Harvey Norman and they told me that I had to contact Ariston directly. I have called 4 times and was kept holding for nearly 30 minutes each time. On the final call they answered the phone and said that they only accept issues which are submitted online. I submitted the issue a week ago and have sent multiple emails. I have not received a response (other than the automatic one which says that they have a lot of issues to deal with at the moment) to date. Looks like I'm going to be washing dishes and cutlery for a while :(

Great small space dishwasher – I was paid to remove this 2018 build dishwasher to dispose of it. I took it home plugged it in , it worked but didn't heat. Had a look in he back… Read more

and found a burnt out pressure switch in the heater, replaced part easily for $60 and now it works as it should. It is quiet and cleans very well. X Large plates have to be strategically placed but for a 45cm space saver dishwasher you can put lots in it. I didn't rate it 5 stars as it doesn't completely dry the tops of cups etc. like other fancier more expensive dishwashers The previous owner got 5 years before a simple mechanical part wore out which I think is quite reasonable. Hope this helps

of documents to prove that i actually own it. Even sent them relevant pages out of my settlement document. Horrible product and service. Dont bother!

Seemed like a really good product, but just out of the warranty period… – Purchased this as part of our kitchen renovation and we haven't been disappointed. It works really well and the flexibility of having two drawers is… Read more

excellent.

This was expensive to buy at almost $1.8K but we feel that this reflects the good design and build quality. We are sure that it will last us a good time.

Edit: Just under 2 years after we purchased this we began to experience an intermittent issue with the top drawer and a recurring ‘A6’ error. It deteriorated earlier this year (2025) to such an extent that the top drawer became unusable. As it was then outside the warranty period we were obliged to pay over $300 for a service technician to diagnose and replace the failed water pump. We were NOT happy given how much we paid for this appliance and that the issue started while it was within the warranty period.

F&P subsequently agreed to reimburse the cost of the part and the labour ($134) but were not willing to cover the call out fee for the service technician to diagnose and quote for the repair ($199). We have accepted this, but NOT happily.

Based on my experience, Asko manufacture dishwashers which are of terrible quality and offer shocking customer service. My rating would be 0 stars if… Read more

that was possible.

I purchased an Asko dishwasher on the 15/12/2022.

This dishwasher displayed an F11 error on the 04/04/2026. It then ceased working completely.

Asko stated that it is unable to be assessed as it is no longer installed. As dishwasher manufacturers, Asko should understand how important a dishwasher is to a family with young children. Therefore, I had to have the dishwasher removed so a new one could be installed.

I offered for it to be taken away and tested, to confirm the fault. However, to expect a customer to keep a faulty product installed, at a great inconvenience to their daily life, is terrible customer service.

Asko also told me that a refund cannot be offered as it is out of warranty. Under AustralianConsumer Law products are required to last for a reasonable amount of time, regardless of the warranty offered by the manufacturer. Three and a half years is not a reasonable period of time for a dishwasher worth $1499.00.

I have forwarded my complaint to WA Consumer Protection and the ACCC.
