Bellini BDW6WP-F

Wast of time, money and effort – Bought the dishwasher from Bunnings, less than a year later, it broke down. Warranty claim arranged, needed a part. Oh, we don’t have that part. 6 months later, numerous complaints, no satisfaction on repair. Got some consumer legal advice, still no satisfaction from Bellini. I now understand this is common for the Bellini range. Happy to take… Read more

payment but then wash their hands when that cheap item breaks down. Extremely poor service and products.

Buy the dishwasher if you want dirty & wet dishes!! – This was our landlord’s choice for a replacement dishwasher, it is the currently available stainless steel model. We have been using it for 2 weeks & I am about to buy something that works properly. I may as well be hand washing and drying the dishes as no matter what cycle, some items are still dirty & they are all wet. If this is the only… Read more

dishwasher you can afford, just remember, you only get what you pay for. Even a 2nd hand dishwasher would be better than this.

Disappointed in the service when you are trying to claim a warranty – Our business bought a dishwasher a year ago. It is within warranty and we have had an issue with the water light. We have put a warranty claim in over 1 month ago and have had absolutely no response. We have called a few times and have since placed another warranty claim. We run a business where we have training and people coming and going quite… Read more

regularly with catering etc. We require the dishwasher on a regular basis and have been without the dishwasher for quite a long time now so it has become frustrating. Please if someone could contact me on [contact details removed].

Don't be cheap. Spend a bit more money on something better – This dishwasher was in our new rental property when we moved in. It was brand new and never used yet. Let's just say, after a month of using this machine, it is now disconnected and sitting in the garage taking up space - I purchased my own dishwasher for our rental. For starters, it's build quality feels like the door is hallow, the buttons feel… Read more

like they will break if you push them too hard. The racks never stay on their tracks and it's difficult to open or close the racks. Operating the machine is no better. I started using it on regular cycle with tablets and rinse aid. Dishes would come out dirty and wet. I tried the intensive cycle and it was no better. After every cleaning cycle, I would have to re-hand wash half a dozen items every time. All our glasses started to go foggy, our cutlery started to get marks on them, and the final straw that made us get rid of this machine was when it started to warp out cutlery. This machine has a "drying" light. Not really sure what that is for, as everything comes out totally soaked, so be sure to keep a few tea towels handy when unloading the machine. I cannot recommend this machine at all. If you cannot afford a proper machine, don't settle for this, as it does not do what it is supposed to do. Not only is this machine sold from Bunnings Warehouse, it is the cheapest dish washer at Bunnings. Go to The Good Guys or Harvey Norman and get a real dish washer.

Lasting longer than expected! – While on a visit to Bunnings, I came across this Bellini dishwasher at the ridiculously low price of $340 (very much like the Aldi Stirling brand of appliances). A snap decision, saw me taking home a new Bellini dishwasher in the back of the car! Now, weeks later, having used the Bellini dishwasher, I can safely say that it does as good a job… Read more

washing the dishes, pots and pans, as all the previous machines I've used. It has six different wash programs and three periods of time delay start (3h 6h 9h). There are two LEDs to indicate the drying cycle and the need to top-up the rinse aid reservoir. There are no knobs or soft-touch buttons, all the controls are decisive push buttons that make a click! There is also a child lock button combination.

I have two small gripes about the machine. 1. The top rack (also with adjustable height position) has the strangest designed angled surfaces to place your glasses and cups on and requires the items to be placed with mathematical precision, anything too big for the position simply falls over. 2. There was only one wine glass rack supplied to take 3 stemmed glasses, there should have been two at a minimum.

It's possible that some people might consider the working sound level may be a bit louder than most machines and I put that down to the minimum amount of sound-insulating fibre they've used, if indeed any! Bottom line, it only cost $340 and has a 3-year warranty, so if it is still running beyond that, then it's a bonus.

Addendum: Four years later and the Bellini is still running as well as it did when we first bought it in October 2019. It does a full wash every other day. I am very surprised at the number of 1 star reviews here, I must have struck lucky! Though, I'm still sorry that there was only one small wine glass rack. I'm surprised to see that the dishwasher is listed as 'Discontinued' when it is still shown on Bellini's website: https://belliniappliances.com.au/product/60cm-white-6-program-dishwasher-2/ presumably, it can't be bought from anywhere.
