5 star bang for buck dishwasher – I have owned this dishwasher for over 5 years and as the title suggests - great value for $$ I always pre-rinse the food off so no issues. Seems discontinued. I hope current models are of the same quality. Show reply

Worst Dishwasher I've ever had – Title says it all. I moved into my current rental and had the misfortune of having one of these terrible washers. It frequently will, after running a cycle decide to become difficult and refuse to run a cycle, the filter system is terrible and requires you clean it more frequently than you should, if you have anything lower than maximum water… Read more

pressure, you will forever be stuck getting dishes that come out dirtier than they went in.

And even if you follow procedure, use the right tablets, rinse, use rinse aid, clean it, descale it, it will as I said, just decide, "nope, I can't decide if I'm going to start a cycle or my cycle is ending or it's still running the current cycle which I even said, yes it's ended".

Do not buy this product, if you find one in your rental and a working, functional dishwasher is required, do not rent that property, unless you want to wash your dishes by hand and use the washer as an elaborate and expensive means of letting your dishes dry! Oh, unless you can trust your real estate to not screw you. Euromaid, a title that suggests Europe would be far dirtier a place if they actually did as their name suggests.

Probably the best value dishwasher available in Australia today – We purchased the Euromaid DR14W to replace a Miele that had failed after 10 years. To be honest, our expectations were quite low as we'd been impressed with the Miele's performance. However, we've found that the performance of the Euromaid to be better than the Miele in some ways. Cleaning performance is generally excellent, with no residue… Read more ·  2

left on dishes (we use the same Aldi dishwasher tablets we used with the Miele). We find the Eco 45 degree setting does a brilliant job on all but the most heavily soiled dishes. Drying performance is also quite good, with the top drawer maybe marginally less effective than the Miele. Noise level is not excessive.

To be honest, the only difference we noticed with the Euromaid vs Miele is that the Euromaid's drawers feel a bit flimsy in comparison. Still, for around a third of the price of a replacement Miele, we have no complaints.

Special mention to Appliances Online for making the purchase of this machine easier than ordering a pizza.

Great for the price – My house had a $6000 Kleenmaid dishwasher in it which we replaced after a year with a $900 Bosch which we’ve just replaced with a $399 Euromaid dishwasher. I cannot find a difference any of them, the Bosch lasted 6 years and I was very happy with it, but I’m sick of paying ridiculous prices for things now that have a finite life, so I’m going the… Read more ·  5

opposite direction and I’m finding there is no point in paying for a name anymore. This dishwasher is a little louder as the door is not as heavy, but apart from that, it has a shorter wash cycle by almost half the Bosch cycle and has exactly the same result. Why pay $500 more for the same result? The reviews on this dishwasher were really positive so I bought one and at this stage, couldn’t be happier. My only complaint is I can’t stack our really tall beer glasses anymore, they are just too tall and don’t feel secure doing them down the bottom, so I hand wash them. It’s not as big as the Bosch, but since there’s only two of us, it’s actually better cause we don’t have to wait as long to get enough dirty plates to clean, but that could be a problem for a family. The top configuration is different, but I like it. It’s what you get used to I guess.

Cleans really well – Although it cleans dishes ok, the half load button is on and won't turn off. It's only a few months old so didn't give 5 stars for this problem.

Minor fault at first but excellent after sales service – Brand new machine purchased Feb 19, 2022. Worked fine, once - washed, drained and dried really well and then developed a fault. Service person (Sam) has just been and determined the issue in 5 minutes (a water sensor), fixed it, and provided some excellent advice on how to get the best from the machine. Courteous, friendly and professional.… Read more ·  1

When is a dishwasher not a dishwasher when it is a Euromaid – This is so bad I can’t believe the manufacturer actually calls it a dishwasher. Noisey, overheats, throws food back on to the dishes then bakes it back on in the dry cycle. Have to hand wash ever item after it completes its cycle. Cleaned out filters, hoses, the lot and makes no difference. Reported matter to the manufacturer owner and all care no… Read more

Euromaid Dishwasher Draining Infinitely – This Dishwasher is awful. Even after checking the sink end of the drain pipe (all OK) the Dishwasher keeps forever trying to drain and will NOT continue its cycle! There is no way to fully stop it and reset it save turning it off at the power, and the only way to "fix" the infinite draining is to pull it out and tip the thing over. Just pathetic… Read more

Junk and terrible service when you have a problem, In fact they straight out fail to contact you – I bought this dish washer through Appliances online. Firstly is had a shocking almost mouldy smell that took weeks to get out f the unit, after 3 weeks installed it stopped working al together. I called Appliances Online and registered the fault. Appliances online put me on hold and lodged a fault - urgent fault with Euromaid. Euromaid NEVER contacted .. still no response - SHOCKING service - actually no after sales service full stop. Show details

Had 3 years and just fixed first issue – Had mine for 3 years and today it stopped and started humming. Cleaned filter, pulled out and cleaned drain pipe and tipped out excess water. Works again, first time I’ve had an issue in 3 years and I’m not really one to rinse before I put stuff in, and I load it up to the max. I do clean the filter fairly regular tho. Show details ·  1

Great value, flexible interior options – I bought this Dishwasher 7 months ago but held off on reviewing it straight away as I wanted to see how it went. So far so good!

fiddly if you cancel a cycle (if you chose wrong wash option for example) and try to switch to a different one. For me the customer service and support is important and I have not had to contact Euromaid so cannot comment on that side of things. The price point was excellent value. Very happy with the purchase so far.

Bad quality – Bought the DR14W model. Looks and feels plastic/cheap. Fairly noisy but our lounge area is not close to the kitchen so we did not mind. only a few days after the warranty finished, the machine stopped working and when we rang the seller, they suggested to buy a new one. We expected the machine to last a bit longer that the warranty but obviously that is not the case. If you want a reliable decent machine, then this may not be the one to buy.

Excellent budget dishwasher – We paid $385 on special for this dishwasher as we were about to move home (and rent our current home), so was after a something on the cheaper end of the scale. We used this ourselves for a couple of weeks and overall it did essentially the same job as our $1000 LG machine, although a tiny bit noisy (which isn't an issue during the day) We would probably buy one for our own use if our current machine failed. Show details ·  1

It 'works' but its issues need to be worked around – It 'works' but its issues need to be worked around. Detergent sometimes drops on the first water fill/cycle, you can hear the thud and when you open the door the detergent it everywhere. This happens about 50% of the time..... This is fine for a pot cycle not all other cycles will wash very poorly when this happens. Has always done this too.… Read more

Sometimes it will not go when the start button is pressed and needs to be turned off for about 5 minutes to have a rest before resuming its dish washing tasks.

Only the hot wash is any good, things will often come out not so clean from an eco wash with glasses being the most obvious items to show a bad wash. I feel if there was a 60 degree cycle this would be better than only a 45 and 70 with nothing in between.

Heater element had to be replaced in under two years, could be because every was we do is a pot cycle. Harder to get parts for outside of Sydney and Melbourne. Dishwasher was new with the house but without the receipts we were unable to have the faulty header fixed directly and had to order a replacement heater element over the Internet. Installation was very simply.

Is not too loud but is also not to quiet, acceptable.

Same problem as many others. Doesn't work after 3 months – Worked OK for 3 months. Noticed the electricity bill went up over that period. No biggie, its a cheap machine with a pretty average energy star rating. Then all of a sudden it stopped cleaning and just sits and hums. Reading through reviews and comments here reveal its a common problem and likely a design flaw, as to get it working you… Read more

actually need to pull it out from the cabinet and tip it forward while it is running to drain wherever water has accumulated. It does not seem safe that a sealed machine could possibly leak enough water into wherever it got into to stop it working, then once the dirty water has spilled all over the floor its good to go again. Needs a recall and redesign. I have no idea how these things passed quality control to get onto the australian market. Avoid.

Been told technician will come out in another 2 days and then contacts Euromaid to see what they want to do. With 5 children,… Read more

this is really inconvenient. All up it took 6 weeks to get the dishwasher repaired. Was supposed to be repaired 2 weeks ago but either the repairer ordered the wrong part, or Euromaid sent the wrong part. Will never buy a Euromaid again. If it breaks again, I'm throwing it out. Not worth the stress and 6 weeks to be fixed. Tried mediation before posting this, but Euromaid didn't give a crap.

Good Buy – Good stainless steel DW for a bargain price of $579 from HN. 2 years manufacturer warranty. Did not buy the Product Care for additional $99 for another 2 years. Cleans perfectly with no residue. Had 8 fully loaded runs in the last 3 days with no issues except when I unknowingly put a few aluminum utensils for a run that lost its shine. Happy with the purchase. Show details ·  1

did fix this.

Second issue today - wouldn't drain. Once again, I paid for a handyman to come out and assist. He checked all hoses. I thought this has fixed the issue as it seemed to work for the prewash cycle.

Just went to put a load of dishes in. Now humming once you turn the power on - a cycle hasn't even been selected.

Would I buy a Euromaid again - absolutely not.

Budget friendly price with top of the range performance – Was skeptical when looking at a $399 dishwasher from a brand i hadn't heard of. Was weighing up spending double on a westinghouse or asko or even a miele. Honestly best decision i ever made, it's been 1 year now, its quieter than my previous asko. cleans better than any miele if had and is more efficient than most of the dishwashers on the market. 1 year of happy washing, would recommend  Show details ·  3
