Technika TDX6 Series

Fabulous Dishwasher – The Technika TDX6SS stainless steel dishwasher is a gem!!! It performs superbly on short cycles which saves us money on electricity and water. There is a half load function which is a really handy feature for those smaller loads. In the past we have had a Dishlex dishwasher and the was so noisy it was ridiculous. The Technika TDX6SS is fairly… Read more ·  1

quiet in comparison.

It would be handy to open the door after a cycle to let the steam out but other than the dishwasher is simply awesome.

Works Brilliantly – Purchased from eBay to match my other Technika products, i was skeptical at first as i had never owned a dishwasher but how well it cleans and dries my dishes i have been converted and can not go back to hand washing. Its such a time saver when i have a friends over for a meal as i have more time to be with my friends than standing over the sink.  Show reply

No issues – You people are complaining your dishes are dirty after a wash, do you leave them in the dishwasher so the food stains dry up for 2-3 days before you turn the machine on or at least scrap food off first? Also this model can most defiantly fit dinner plates, read the user manual change the top shelf height and they fit. Three years now and i haven’t had any issues.  Show reply

Poor! – I don’t recommend it, I got it with the property always has an issue with the Switch on/off button it burned, also the oven technika has a lot of problems.

The worst dishwasher, ever. DO NOT BUY! – We hate this dishwasher! Totally hate it. It came with the Carlisle Home we built two years ago. So now we know Carlisle uses cheap products. - It doesn't wash dishes properly. Everytime we run a cycle there is residue left behind. - We have to prewash/scrub dishes before putting them in a cycle. Defeats the purpose of a dishwasher. - Dishes come… Read more

out soaking wet. Sometimes not dry at all. - The buttons on the machine are difficult to understand. It's not easy to use at all! - The water spray nozzle hits the plates as it spins.

Absolutely hate this product. Technika have the worst after care service – This dishwasher does not clean my dishes very well at all. The design and layout is the worst issue of all. The Plates that go into the bottom tray do not fit without the upper arm hitting them, therefore stopping the arm from spinning and cleaning correctly. Now my bottom arm has stopped working altogether so no dishes are getting cleaned. We had… Read more

a technician come to repair and i was advised he couldn't do it, he would try and see if someone else could fix it, we have now been waiting weeks for any type of contact. I have emailed almost daily and called but can only manage to speak to the reception who says she will pass my message on.

Its a waste of space and does nothing a dishwasher is supposed to do.

The worst dishwaher – I absolutely hate this dishwasher. It came with our new plantation house. the dishes come out soaking wet. we broke so many dishes as they would be wet and slippery from rinse aid. When informed the customer service, we were told to open the dishwasher door as soon as the washing cycle is over. So that means we cannot go out or go to sleep at… Read more

night or to work in the morning after switching on the dishwasher as we need to wait for the dishes to finish washing to open the door in order to get dry dishes. This is absolutely ridiculous. We had Bosh and westinghouse dishwashers before this with absolutely no fuss.

I would have never gone for this dishwasher if it didn't come with the house.

Disappointed – The dishwasher does not clean properly unless we clean all the food off the plate before putting the dishes into the dishwasher machine. Usually it needs a second wash. This means we are doubling our time to wash dishes. We now use the dish washer to dry plates instead. The washing machine itself is quiet, but is not value for the money we pay for for.  Show details

Heater Element Fault Code, Seal Failure – Hi there, When I built my house in 2009 we were sold a package and the original Technika burnt out in the first 18 months after much debate and to and fro-ing it was the General Manager of Technika who saved the day, not the builder Dennis Family Homes; this is another story. The GM of Technika replaced the old dishwasher without question, now my… Read more

concern is that the second one, TDX6SS-3, has also failed, it appears the fault is a failed "water heater" - The concerning part about this is my next door neighbour opted for a no-name cheap brand from Bunnings and this has not skipped a beat for the last 7 years. I know that this machine replaced the previous faulty one, but why should I buy another Technika when the no-name brand has outlived ours twice. I cannot provide invoice because is was part of my house, I would have to send the whole contract.

Cant live with out the half cycle wash – Purchased on eBay about two years ago for my dream kitchen. It still cleans and dries my dishes like its brand new and have never had an issue with it. I have really bad eczema on my hands and i really cant do 'hand washing' so if i only have a few dishes the half cycle wash is by far my favorite feature.  Show reply

Saves Time – Purchased in 2013 to match my other Technika products in my new Kitchen. Three years on and it has not let me down. when its half full it can be noisy otherwise its quiet silent. I love packing the dishwasher up at night and unpacking the dry dishes the next morning. I believe saves me time and water will recommend to others.  Show reply

Cleans Perfectly – This dishwasher is a really fantastic asset in our home. We purchased this unit back in 2014 and we haven't had one issue since day one. The unit cleans and dries our dishes to perfection every single time. Its super quiet, easy to use and very water efficient. I would most certainly purchase one again.  Show reply

Great Investment! – We purchased in 2013 and it does a great job with no fuss - we just pack the dishes in and they come out clean and dry (mostly). The "normal wash" mode gives a good result. We had a Westinghouse dishwasher for a while and it was absolutely hopeless - didn't actually wash or dry very well and seemed to hold far less dishes.  Show reply

Handy Asset – We purchased this dishwasher when we upgraded our kitchen appliances in 2010. I love our dishwasher, it cuts down my cleaning time in half and allows me to do other things around the house. It cleans and dries our dishes twice a day with no hiccups thus far. We find that it works best with finish dishwashing tablets or the like. It fairly quiet to run, and saves us loads on water.  Show reply

Cleans like a commercial dishwasher – Purchased from the good guys as apart of my dream kitchen renovation. Comparing this model to other brands it was reasonably priced and seemed mid range for what it can do. I’m extremely pleased with its washing ability as it cleans like a commercial dishwasher does. I hope this lasts a good 20 years plus. As its a brilliant machine.  Show reply

Cleans Really Well – We have had this dishwasher for some time now with no complaints at all. The unit itself is very good on water usage, seemingly quiet and reliable. I use it a fair bit due to my home cake making business and I absolutely pack it full of dishes most days. The dishes always come out clean as a whistle, I find it works best with finish… Read more ·  1

dishwashing tablets or fairy dishwashing tables.

I like the push button controls as it makes operating the dishwasher so easy

Delightful Dishwasher – I find that dishwasher cleans and dries our dishes very well. The unit itself isn't noisy at all (probably the same as previous dishwashers I have owned in the past). My previous branded dishwasher (Dishlex) required lots of service calls due to the element not heating. With my new Technika one not one issue thus far, so I am hoping to enjoy it… Read more ·  1

for years to come.

I like the half load feature; as there is only myself and my husband home these days we can save on water by only using half the water of a full load wash.

Clean as a whistle – I find that this model dishwasher cleans our dishes well and even dries them quite effectively. The unit isn't loud at all but it does take some time for a complete wash to finish when on intensive mode. I simply use the quick wash mode and find it shortens the wash time by half with the same effective results. I like the adjustable upper… Read more ·  1

basket as you can adjust the height if you have big or bulky items to wash.

Would recommend this dishwasher to family and friends.

Dishwasher Delight – Replaced my previous Dishlex dishwasher with this beauty. Really happy with my purchase. Super quiet, cleans well, dries well. The regular cycle is a little long so now I use the quick wash option which shortens the cycle with good results. Have a fairly large family so it gets used a fair bit with no complaints.  Show reply

Time Saver. Water Saver – I have had this dishwasher in my family home for over 3 years. We couldn't be happier with its performance and reliability. It saves me time on scrubbing dishes all night long and saves us heaps of water. It's overall quite a good dishwasher, with some great features like adjustable upper basket. We have found it to be fairly quiet but we do have a noisy lot in our house, so I wouldn't be the best judge for that.  Show reply

Came with our home – Came with our Carlisle home as a standard inclusion. Very easy to use just load up and turn on and walk away. When finished the sounding alarm is quiet load which is a reminder that its finished as I can not hear it when its in use. Dishes come out clean and dry just need to pack dishes in the cupboard.  Show reply

Best asset in my kitchen – If you looking for a quiet, reliable dishwasher look no further. Dishwasher works well for our family of 6. It’s used almost 3 times a day and only issue I've had is the door seal came off. Friendly technician came with 3 days of lodging the service call and had the parts with him so repaired first go and he was able to explain proper use to… Read more ·  1

achieve best results for washing/drying. Since being educated heavy cycle is the best to use on a full load as dishes come out sparkling clean and dry.

Clean As A Whistle – I built a home with Carlisle homes in 2010, all the appliances were included which I found to be really great as it saved us the time of looking around and purchasing ourselves. This dishwasher is a great time saver in my household as I literally set and forget and this cleaning takes care of itself. The Wells water rating is one of the best on the market so I'm saving water too :-)  Show reply

Clearly labeled anyone can use it – Dishwasher was installed in 2011 apart of my Simonds home. The control panel is clearly labeled and one button push to change the functions makes it not only simple to use but easy for anyone. I use the heavy cycle when it's fully loaded, once on I can hear it begin but then goes almost silent I forgot its on. When the wash is done dishes are clean and dry. Very reliable and hasn't missed a beat  Show reply

Love this dishwasher – Bought my dishwasher in 2014 and never had a problem with it. I’ve never had to pre rinse any of my dishes and i always use either Coles or Aldi brand dishwasher tablets and rinse aid and regularly clean my filters so dishes come out clean and dry every time. When I don’t have enough dishes to do a full load it’s great that i can do a half wash and only lasts 40 minutes. I will recommend to my friend and family.  Show reply

5 Star Appliance – I purchased this dishwasher through the good guys back in 2011. I loved the design and look of the unit and my friend has one and raves about hers. With a 4 star water rating and easy to clean exterior I simply love it. With little ones running around my home this dishwasher saves me lots of time and hassle. We haven't had any issues with this unit at all and it's still washing dishes like new.  Show reply

Quiet and Efficient – My husband purchased this dishwasher 4 years ago off The Good Guys as our current dishwasher didn't match up with our other Technika stainless steel appliances. To this day it still cleans our dishes in a timely fashion and quietly enough for us to go about our business. I can't fault it and am happy with the 4 years we have it so far.  Show reply

Worst dishwasher in history – If you don't mind fixing the thing after every wash or stacking something in it buy it. I'm constantly havnig to put the wheels that hold the top shelf back on every time you move the top shelf, it doesn't even clean things properly. cheap peace of crap. it's the only bad point about our build with Carlisle, no wonder they give it away free.

Very poor and rude customer service - waiting, waiting, waiting :( – As below most of the same problems, wet dishes, dishes not fitting, NOW electrical fault, dishwasher not switching on, have waited 4 days to hear from Service Dept after I logged my complaint, still no time set for a technician visit, still no dishwasher, very disappointed, my dishwasher was installed by SBG Builders Cranbourne 14 months ago, i… Read more

have built 3 times and used different products in my homes and have never had a problem after 7 years, Technika, nearly 1 year to the day of warranty run out and CABOOM.... product is broken....Also Service department do not work after 5:00pm Monday to Friday??? not happy, not happy at all.

Pure Crap – Like most of you we got this lemon in a Metricon package, had nothing but trouble from the word go, when the weld broke on the casing they finally gave us another washer . We had 2months left on the warranty and that's all they gave us on the replacement washer, needless to say that started playing up and after paying $100 for each time someone… Read more

came out to fix it we have had enough as it's gone again. Metricon has obviously sold crap to lots of people and lost a house by telling my Daughter they only install QUALITY Technician appliances, so knows the crap we were having she built her new home with Gardeners which is rather sad as Metricon build great homes but when we build our next home Metricon will lose us. Crap dish washer and will never buy Technika again and tell everyone the same

Brand new and doesn't work. Useless – Sounds like no water is pumping. Have checked the pipes, and the power everything is ok. But the dishwasher just hums as if trying to pump, no water gets through into the dishwasher and then it beeps.
