  I’ve never used a bench top dishwasher but I will be if I move again and the next place doesn’t have a dishwasher. This is the first place I’ve ever lived in that has a dishwasher, and I never want to go back

  Unsure how much they are or if they have them, but Kids off the Kerb might have a refurbished one. I got my fridge, washing machine, and dryer from them, they teach disadvantaged youth how to refurbish appliances.

  My fridge is still going strong after 9 years or so, and the washing machine has only just carked it (I think I just need to replace the drain part though).

  They might have something for cheaper than retail 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Oh that is so cool. Thanks for letting me know, refurbished and ex display models are great

  Appliances online also have one for $499 - I just looked. Good reviews and free delivery too.

    Thanks! I’ll see how much the luxury bones set me back and then maybe see if I can even buy on Boxing Day

      Hope it works for you. I used to have a dishwasher - but he moved out and hasn’t come back yet.

        Was it within warranty period 🤔

  Yeah I have one of these.

  Midea

  If you’ve got any questions happy to help.

    Oh sweet. How easy is it to use?

    Are you able to easily get the tap connection on and off, any leaks, are there any flimsy plastic pieces I could accidentally break?

    Thanks

      Very easy to use.

      I don’t use the hose because I would need a special tap fitting so instead I hand fill it. They give you jug for this. Very easy to fill.

      There’s no flimsy plastic to break. Very easy to clean.

      I’ll add that some plates don’t fit so I had to buy some more. Under 27cm diameter fit. Corelle make some. Medium saucepan with fit. A large won’t.

        I’m considering a bench top dishwasher as well so this is good info! Thanks!

        Thanks, all this is very useful. It’s mostly mugs and cutlery, maybe a salad plate. Pet bowls

  Have had a benchtop since 2015ish. Sheffield model. Use the dishwasher gel, not the pellets, pay attention to any stacking requirements. I piggybacked it on the washing machine cocks and had it dump in the laundry sink at the old place, new one it’s in the brewery for glassware

    Cheers, the gel would probably dissolve better

    • Taleya@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      yup, we had huge issues with the tablets not dissolving properly
