Baumatic BAFD62SS

Bad – We received this dishwasher as a free gift from our builder 6 months ago and probably wouldn't have bought it as we felt it was expensive and inefficient. It has performed fairly well and has been reliable so far. It's very loud when operating with all sorts of mechanical and washing sounds coming from within. I wouldn't recommend it if your kitchen is close to your bedrooms. I sort of hoped it would expire so we could buy a better dishwasher but it just keeps plugging along. I have noticed it looks very similar to some other cheap Chinese dishwashers so my expectations aren't too high. Overall it does what it's supposed to do, just not as well as some other brands and compared to my sister in-laws Miele it sounds like something was forgotten when it was made (such as sound proofing). Does a reasonable job of washing dishes. It was free. Very noisy. Not very energy or water efficient. Old style controls. No auto power off at the end of a cycle.

Terrible – After testing the product I have found that the quality is mediocre and isn't anything spectacular. The water usage and the energy use is terrible compared to what you can get for the price. It is too expensive for the quality and functions that you receive. I wouldn't even bother with this one. Cleans dishes fairly well. Cheap and a 3 year warranty. Exposed element. Cheap quality hinges, old dial look. The fact that it is made by Haier and is really a label put onto it. Also there is no drying method this means that the dishes are wet when you take them out.

Bad – Its Ok,wouldn't buy another one due to the noise. There also isn't much difference in cleaning the dishes if you select short wash or long wash. The long wash takes extremely long (about 2.5hrs) and doesn't really look any cleaner than the short wash. Cheap, ideal for rental property. Its too noisy, especially when the pump is emptying the water. A couple of times it gets stuck in the same cycle and you have to turn the knob to keep it going. You also need to clean the filter fairly regularly otherwise it dosn't wash properly.

Bad – Not impressed at all - was in existing display home and presented as a quality product but far from it. Would not recommend to anyone. Cleans OK. 3 year warranty Extremely noisy. Baskets are flimsy. Programmes are very limited. Leaves water spots on glass and plastic.
