New Purchase/Build - Home Renovations - Gardens - Garages & Sheds.

[Wilko16]

House is almost finished :-D

Builder said final clean is booked for this week and then we will have a walk through and pick the sh*t out of everything.

We haven't been able to get inside for the last 3 weeks so just looking through the windows, all the little nic nac problems appear to be have been fixed, so it really is getting exciting!

Hopefully we are in before the end of the month.

Went out looking for a dishwasher last weekend, shortlisted a few and then went on Google to read up about them and my short list has moved to zero, so yeah but more research before I go back to the shops, if anyone has some recommendations that would be great

Also ordered a house alarm system online last week, works out heaps cheaper if you are able to install it yourself, but I might regret saying that after I crawl through the roof for a weekend

Well done Wilko place look great.

 

About the dishwasher we like and are using again the Fisher Paykel Twin Drawer Dishwasher 

We think they're great because you can use one draw and not like the others whole dishwasher even with a small load.

We changed to twin draw in the new house also and not the standard one the builder offered.

We bought a fisher & paykel double dish drawer 8 years ago and it has been running almost perfectly in that time period.

We had a technician come for a repair once, water had got down the back of the unit causing a fault (turned out we were overstacking and the water tight lid was not closing 100%)

and that's it.

the technician that came out was a local contractor that serviced all brands and said that the dish drawer was one of the very few dish washers that were built with repair-ability  in mind.

I remember that it cost twice as much as a normal dishwasher to buy, but it has the great convenience of being able to wash a load before it sinks out the kitchen waiting for more dishes to fill the entire dish washer.

we run one drawer once a day, 2 in the weekend if we have a big cook up or dinner party.

You rate the dish drawer then? I read they were sh*t but I was interested in one because we have limited cupboard space and no dishwasher currently. It sucks hand washing dishes

[Wilko16]

Have to admit I never looked at the dish drawer machines

I'll do some reading up, but you guys make it sound alright

I just had a look at some bad reviewers and have come to the conclusion that if you don"t rinse the dishes before you stack, then it does't clean properly.

I am the dish washer stacker in our household and always rinse everything well before I stack because I always use the 45 minute cycle.

I admit that if you don't scrape backed on food off the inside of pots, they don't clean.

 

edit: also only use finish powder and finish rinse aid

edit # 2: also the dish drawer only cleans from the bottom up, so you really need to take that into consideration when stacking.
