Hi Folks,
Its been a while iam searching for getting a dishwasher.
The primary reason been my mother is old enough and a patient, cannot put up with our maid who at most of the time finds silly reasons for not making it daily. (This dishwasher will be a huge relief for my age old parents).
I have gone through some reviews on the net. And i found the following of dishwasher:
Advantages:
* Hygenie
* Ease of use
* Freedom from erratic attedance of the maid (and the amount she charge for the quality of the work she does)
Disadvantages:
* Power bill shoots up
* Availability of detergants, salt, Rinse Aid and Freshner for dishwasher
* After Sales Service is a big question mark (for IFB, not sure of other brands)
(point 2, 3 of topic "disadvanatges" can be taken care after members comments).
I have a (some points) "buying guide" for dishwasher.
What to look at?
1. Adjustable tray
2. Hard water ready
3. Dry tap indicator
4. Cycle end beeper
5. Rat protection
6. Auto restart
7. Wash programmes (what number to look at 2, 3 or beyond?)
8. 3 Nozzle dish washer for the best output.
9. Solid food Disposal (We dont need to pre-rinse the vessels)
10. Self Cleaning
11. Water consumption - (How to look at machines which uses less water per wash cycle?)
12. Power consumption - (Should it be 60 degree or more? some say 60 degree is more than enough)
13. Delayed STart
14. Load Sensor (and Memory and Display)
15. Fuse (in built fuse to reduce the risk of shock and short circuits)
The above are some of them. If any of you have more on the list, do let me know.
Recent times i notice that IFB (was the best dishwasher earlier, based on reviews) has after sales service related problems. Seems now IFB had made it mandatory to get the detergants from them through customer care!
Other is the Electrolux - but not any reviews though!
Siemens tops in my list of probable dishwashers. (Model number is required)
Budget max 32k.
All the above are based on net reviews, and some paper ads. I am yet to see any dishwasher and its functions.
The product is to be bought in chennai. So any chennai dealers, after sales service centers etc? (If in bangalore, i can atleast have a look at it, and then order in chennai)
Any of you can throw some light, so that i can decide on what to buy?
Thanks
