Best Dishwashers

3 years old and malfunctioning. The cycle times are all off, so after 2 hours it can be stuck in a wash cycle still. $200 for a call out, not… Read more

including the actual repairs (the operating unit replacement module is $329). I've bought so many Bosch products, but this will be my last. I don't care that there's a 2 year warranty, your products should last at least 5 years! It would be cheaper to buy lesser models and replace every 2 years. Very disappointed.

Disappointing Product Reliability and After-Sales Service I purchased the Westinghouse Dishwasher WSF6606KXC in July 2026, and just three months… Read more

later, in October 2026, it has already stopped working, displaying an E1 error.

While it is extremely disappointing that a brand-new dishwasher has failed after only three months, what is even more frustrating is the after-sales service. I've been advised that it will take almost a month for a technician to attend and assess the issue. Being left without a functioning dishwasher for such an extended period is simply unacceptable, especially for a product that is still practically new.

I want to acknowledge that Harvey Norman has been excellent in assisting with the matter. My frustration is directed at Electrolux/Westinghouse and their warranty service department.

Westinghouse was once a brand associated with quality and reliability, but this experience has seriously damaged my confidence in the brand. A product failing after three months is bad enough, but making customers wait almost a month for warranty support only makes the situation worse.

Very disappointing from a brand that should know better.

No other qualities can make up for the terrible upper shelf layout. I switched from an LG to Bosch based on high ratings for reliability and a bonus… Read more

warranty offering but after 5 days I would return it if I could. In particular trying to stack any kind of plastic container (such as you might use in a freezer), takeaway container, or similar is hopeless. The various angles mean things don't sit flat, and the tines that don't fold down are awkwardly spaced and awkward lengths.

The dishwasher washes okay. It's not great but it's not bad. If you use the Vario drawer (low sliding rack at the top) it's hit and miss how well… Read more

they get washed. What this review is about is the RUST SPOTS on the front panel that appeared within months of buying it. I contacted Appliances Online who put me onto Bosch who said they would arrange a service call. I supplied photos. After 4 weeks having NOT been contacted to arrange a service call, I contacted Bosch again. I spent 35 minutes on the phone while they tried t work out what their response was which they decided was that the rust spot is not their problem. There was no apology for not contacting me. No explanation for the total lack of communication. I requested their response in writing. Here it is:

"Based on the information provided our tech team advised that Tea stains on stainless steel are primarily caused by surface oxidation due to chlorides, tannins, and environmental factors, leading to cosmetic brown discoloration.

Environmental Factors

Tea staining is most common in coastal areas where salt from ocean spray settles on stainless steel surfaces. The salt retains moisture, especially in high humidity, creating a corrosive environment that breaks down the protective chromium oxide layer on the steel, resulting in brown discoloration. Other environmental contributors include pollution, dust, industrial fumes, and temperature fluctuations, which can accelerate the staining process."

Okay, so we live nowhere near the ocean so I'm not sue why they think their 'out' is salt spray! But this is a stainless steel panel we are talking about so early rusting is, in fact, your responsibility Bosch under warranty!! It's weird how our much larger double-door stainless steel Samsung fridge has absolutely no rusting on it after 3 years but the Bosch dishwasher that was only 6 months old when I made a warranty claim does. It's not 'Environmental', Bosch. It's the poor quality of your product.

Really good dishwasher. It cleans well, is quiet, and the compartments are well designed. The light at the bottom that comes on when it’s running is… Read more

great. I kept opening my previous dishwasher before it had finished. Installation of the panel was very easy, the provide a overlay map so you can drill the holes in your panel.

I’ve also connected it to my phone, but I rarely use the Bosch Connect app. I’d highly recommend this over the Series 8, which is more expensive and doesn’t have the light.

Failing after 8 years. Definitely won't last the 10-15 years Miele are supposedly able to last. First the heater circuit failed, now it has F14 error… Read more

so it looks like the control board is kaput. $600 - half the cost of a new machine. Not what I expect from a premium brand.

Be aware you are not buying a quality Fisher and Paykel product. It is a cheap Chinese produced Haier product. This is the fifth machine I have… Read more

purchased since they were first invented. Not because they wore out but because we moved house. Always a great product but this one is a cheap metal imitation of what was a great product. I foolishly bought this one online as I moved interstate and was short on time. How I wish I had taken the time to shop around. There is no handle to put your hand under. Instead you try to put your fingers inside the cheap little tin bar across the front. I don't know how people with large hands cope with it. The inside is not the same quality either. Some Companies improve or continue the same quality when bought out but not this one. It is a cheap Haier product. Would NEVER buy again and wish I could send this one back.

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.

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.

Its an OK dishwasher. Lots of settings, but its not the largest and made especially useless with the middle shelf height adjustments being too high… Read more

or too low to be useful. On the low setting, we cannot fit standard plates. On the height setting we cannot fit our cheap wine glasses or many other things we would want to put on that shelf. The level of tetris requited on this DW is much heigher than any we have ever owned.

I have read of others removing the cutlery draw to get more height.

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 .

Excellent improvement over my previous bosch, great cleaning, easy to use, good choice of programs, dont need to rinse dishes, I choose to scrap large food remains off, highly recommended Frase Show details

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.

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.

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!

Regretful purchase Auto and ECO modes = poor cleaning performance, and wet dishes. Intensive, Hi-Temp, and Steam modes = good cleaning performance,… Read more

but after several washes the upper spray arm warps from the heat and no longer can spin due to contact with the upper rack, so needs to be removed and bent back straight by placing heavy weights on it overnight. Why have components in the machine that can't handle the high temp that the machine is capable of?

Single Drawer Model number DDS19AA Dont waste your money, absolutely appalling item. The storage racks never hold, the impeller never spins and does… Read more

not secure. We always have to run 2-3 cleaning cycles due to it not cleaning properly, the design is the worst. It really is a mistake to buy one. I am going back to Samsung

Bought two of these dishwashers for rental properties. Have had zero complaints and no warranty or service issues at all which was exactly what I was… Read more

looking for. All the feedback from tenants has been that they appreciate the non-complicated ease of use, non fussy appearance that suits basically any kitchen decor, the lack of noise and the lack of any impossible to read LCD screens and touch sensitive buttons that don't work with wet fingers or with gloves on. This is a basic machine with proper old-school tactile clicky buttons (and only three of them). It is exactly what you want from a dishwasher without all the modern crap you don't want like phone app connectivity to make some functions work, compulsory wifi/internet access so it can phone home to Bosch servers and be disabled when the maker decides it needs replacement for no reason, and overly complex functionality that requires a university degree and 3 weeks to read the user manual to just make it do a basic wash of the breakfast dishes. This is how all dishwashers should be. Functional without all the useless bells and whistles that no-one uses that then break and cripple the entire machine when you find out the cost to repair is more than a whole new replacement machine. For tenants in a rental, this is the ideal machine because users who have nothing invested in a machine they don't own, just want it to work with an absolute minimum of fuss and learning required. Buy some detergent, put it in and turn it on. More than that is too much for a dishwasher.

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.

Four years of normal household use and now it's completely dead! Water completely cold throughout cycles, detergent dispenser not opening, cycle… Read more

timer stuck on '1 min remaining' for 30+ mins. Dishes are dirty, wet and cold. No error codes, spray arms clear, filters clean. After researching I found this is a documented failure pattern; identical heating element and control board failures between 3-5 years. I've contacted them and their response is DISAPPOINTING. Failed to respond after a written complaint, when I called, they stressed that this is out of their goodwill so they will send a technician out more than a week away. I asked if I could arrange for a technician on my own to expedite, obviously they said nope. A dishwasher failing at its core function after 4 years is not acceptable quality. Save yourself the headache, we are now left to buy another dishwasher (we rang a tech and they said don't bother, it'll cost too much to fix). Bosch - here we come.

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

This is my 2nd Miele dishwasher and am so happy the sales consultant recommended I buy the model with the self opening door. Once the load is… Read more

finished, the door opens and lets the steam out - result is perfectly dry dishes. Such a solid dishwasher that performs well. My previous Miele dishwasher was almost 20 years old and worked perfectly the whole time, so why buy anything else.

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.

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

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.

rendering our dishwasher useless due to water and moisture getting into electrics we have not used it in 7 years . Contacted Smeg numerous times to fix ,Smeg never reply or want to fix the problem when contacted directly always blown off and directed to another number . Expensive unit now reduced to a looking at item. Don’t fall for the Smeg dream of owning their appliances your dream becomes a nightmare and you get absolutely no assistance when it goes pear shaped. Although we have had this unit for quite a while the fact remains it has not been used in years due to the panel and Smeg casting us aside once they got the cash after purchase. Smeg are full of empty promises !
