This is my third dishwasher. My first was a Hotpoint that bore the proud words "Made in Great Britain". It gave 8 years of good service before needing a new wiring loom, which by then had become unobtainable following the takeover by an Italian firm, Merloni (later restyled as Indesit) which replaced all Hotpoint's parts with its own (the service engineer assured me they were "rubbish"). But I still bought another Hotpoint, a FDW60, which was occasionally faulty and lasted less then 6 years, when it developed a serious electrical problem, melting the plug. I decided my next dishwasher wouldn't be a Hotpoint.
I wasn't sure what to get next, when up popped White Knight, makers of my reliable and effective gas tumble dryer, with a new range of rather cheap but good-sounding dishwashers. On the basis of my experience with the dryer I decided to buy one, with no reviews to go on! What's it like? Well, quite good really.
First, it's only just above £200. Yet it has a delayed start (essential for a dishwasher I think), its wash quality is exemplary, and it is very quiet, although the wash cycles are long - 2.5 hours, but with delayed start I can live with that. Unlike my previous one, I can just about place my larger plates in it (as long as there are only a few) with tall wine glasses on the top basket. The top basket is adjustable though, and it has LED indicators for rinse aid and salt levels. The most irritating thing is that on the top basket it has a long rack for saucers, of which I don't use many, but doesn't cater well for small bowls, which we use lots.
Some further niggles: the instruction book is terrible, written in what looks like pidgin English; maybe a translation (but I thought White Knight products were made in the UK? I'm sure Crosslee plc could have spared some time to tidy it up a bit). The top basket motion is a bit jerky, which can make glasses fall over. I don't like the feel of the squared-off door handle, and I would have preferred green LEDs rather than orange. But broadly I'm pleased so far, although of course the real test is what it will be like 5 years from now. If it gives the same level of service as my dryer I'll be very happy.
