Dishwasher Help Forum

[scooby56]

Hi all,

Hopefully someone can help advise here on capacity etc of these machines. Basically we are just in the process of buying a new home. I have noticed as the kitchen gets built that the dishwasher the builder is fitting is going to be a slimline model.

Now being a four bedroom family home I thought this was quite odd seeing as I would expect a slimline machine to be lacking in capacity for a family home of this size over a normal size machine.

The model they are fitting is a TEKA DW6-55 F1

Can anyone shed any light please on if this machine is going to be up to the job or is it the builder cutting corners?

Thanks for any feedback.

Hi Scooby,

It's a Haier slimline dishwasher in disguise. Just search the forums for "Haier dishwasher" and you'll get the drift pretty quick.

Hi K,

Thanks very much for the feedback, does not sound to good though! So this is just a a variant of another poor design? I am just weighing up whether it would be worth going to the builder armed with this evidence.....

Manufacturer aside do you think a machine this size is fit for purpose in a 4 bedroom home?

Ehm, let me put it this way, I wouldn't buy one.

Fit for purpose depends on how you want to view it really. It will wash dishes, how well and for how long is a whole other debate.

Yes I get the impression it wasn't exactly the model of choice for people in the know!

By fit for purpose I meant more whether a slimline dishwasher would realistically handle the daily loads of a family. I guess it will be a case of move in, wait for it to fail miserably, complain.

Appreciate your time, thanks.
