[Request] Integrated Dishwasher for fitted kitchen.

Integrated Dishwasher for fitted kitchen.

The fully hidden kind that can take a wooden panel.

Just fitting a kitchen myself. Cheapest fully integrated I could find was a Candy model from Expert electrical for €399. The element is exposed in this one though so might not suit if you're in a Hard water area. Went for a Bosch myself for €600.
For some reason fully integrated dishwashers are 100-200 dearer than non integrated. Then you need to fork out the cost of the wooden door on top of that.

Don't I know it - including the door it's twice the price and they don't have to look nice either. Seriously considering a way to attach a panel to an ordinary one, with a clockwork timer rather than those unfixable microprocessor jobs.

Luckily enough it's a softwater area. The old one is over three years old with water damage to the electronics so I reckon it's beyond economic repair.

Make sure you buy one that has a hidden element as these tend to build up with limescale and reduce the life of the machine. You can't go wrong with bosch or siemens although you will probably pay a little bit more for them. But they will repay you with the lack of repairs needed. Try Currys for a good deal.

So how long have you been working for Currys? (sandisk and now dishwasher :eek: )

I would try DID/Harvey Normans they sometimes compete on price with each other. Also discount electric off mountjoy square provides good service but can charge higher.

another option is to go for a deeper worktop which allows you to build in a standard dishwasher behind two doors so instead of having a standard 600mm worktop you end up with one about 640 mm
