| 770872 | 2009-05-04 06:54:00 | Was having a surf looking at user reviews on dishwashers in general for someone when I came across this site: . consumersearch . com/dishwasher-reviews/review" target="_blank">www . consumersearch . com The highest repair rates go to a couple of imported brands -- Asko (Sweden) and Fisher & Paykel (New Zealand) -- along with Maytag . In one survey, these brands had a repair rate that's almost twice as high or more than other dishwashers . Fisher & Paykel is mainly known in the U . S . for its DishDrawer models . While appliance enthusiasts love the look of the DishDrawer models, they are expensive and prone to leaks, pump problems and control issues . In U . S . surveys, about one-quarter of all DishDrawer models need repairs . Fisher & Paykel also earns low scores for long-term reliability at Choice magazine, an Australian review publication similar to Consumer Reports . In one survey, Fisher & Paykel models had the highest repair rate of any dishwasher brand . |

| 770873 | 2009-05-04 06:58:00 | We had to replace our Dishlex 500 recently (brilliant machine!) with an F&P (but NOT a dish-drawer) . The new machine's racks aren't as well-designed as the Dishlex and the drying of the dishes is a joke - you have to open the door!!! Plus it's noisier . I hate it! But Dishlex weren't being made anymore . . . :crying |

| 770874 | 2009-05-04 07:00:00 | Ours is a Simpson, Came with the House when we moved in 4 years ago, so dont know exactly how old it is. Only problem we have ever had is as soon as you empty it - the damn thing fills up again - Seems we go through a lot of dishes :lol: |

| 770875 | 2009-05-04 07:03:00 | IMHO the worst is Simpson. I have had a couple in motels and a rental place and they are exceptionally noisy and don't do a great wash. Best is ASKO. I have owned 4 of them in different homes and they do a fantastic wash and are very quiet. I just recently decided to upgrade from an old ASKO white dial model to a stainless top of the lone Bosch. The Bosch is slightly noisier and does not do as good a wash as the old ASKO. I would get another ASKO any way over any other model. F&P are not real quiet either we have had some of those in Motels including the Dishdrawer models. |

| 770879 | 2009-05-04 07:20:00 | Our simpson is quiet - only time you know its on is if you happen to walk past it, other wise we don't hear anything. In fact theres been more than once I have opened it and gone - oh Sh1t - it's on OOPS! | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 770880 | 2009-05-04 07:25:00 | Might be a newer model than I have experienced. I think Simpson is now owned by F&P. Of the 4 or so I have had anything to do with they are a pain in the ass for their noise. Most recent was a new one in a Motel in Wanaka 2 years ago. Was too noisy to leave on at night so we put it on when we left the motel | Bantu (52) | ||
| 770881 | 2009-05-04 08:50:00 | I think I may be a contender for the worst dishwasher; certainly the hardest to get started. ;) | R2x1 (4628) | ||
