Dishwasher and hand-held vac (any Which? members??)

[Don Water Melon]

Our dishwasher is on it's way out I fear.
Does anyone know what the top Which? buys are? Bosch and Miele will feature highly I suspect.

Also - hand-held 'dust buster' type vacuum cleaners. I'm sick of getting the vacuum out twice a day

I love the idea of a robust dust buster for the kitchen - I am sick of crumbs!!!
The weedy black and decker one we had was rubbish!!!!

Couldn't see a best buy table for hand held cleaners but they did have an article , here's a snapshot of it
Hoover Handy Plus SP60DBR6


Pros Easy to use

Cons Filter gets blocked up quickly; we found the handle uncomfortable to hold after a while

Dyson DC16



Pros Great on hard surfaces and carpets, gets tightly into corners, light, and easy to use on stairs

Cons Needs frequent recharging, takes time to pick up pet hair

Black & Decker Dustbuster Eco Extreme DV1205


It’s reasonably quiet for a handheld vac, but a bit heavy if you use it for

Pros Extendible nozzle, brush head attachment, reasonably quiet

Cons A little heavy, no mains adaptor for prolonged continuous use

Gtech HV01



Pros Adequate for small debris pick-up on hard surfaces, easy to hold, more than 10 minutes use on one charge

Cons No mains adaptor for prolonged continuous use, noisy, no ‘fully charged’ indicator, needs brush attachment to help on fibrous surfaces

Hoover Jovis SJ144WRS4 wet and dry





The Jovis will cost around £54 from Argos and independents.

Pros Good for picking up debris and small spills from hard surfaces, long vacuuming time from one full charge compared with some other handhelds

Cons Not as good on carpet and fibrous surfaces as it is on hard surfaces
Pm me if you need any more info

Thank you!

Although I didn't anticipate spending £600+ on a dishwasher

We have a miele dishwasher after a diastrous experience with a hotpoint, and it's lovely!

My favourite bit is the seperate drawer just for cutlery!

It was expensive, but it came with a 10 year warranty, so we figured it was worth it, and it really does get stuff cleaner (if I take notice of the salt and rinse aid light!) than other dishwashers we have had (and I pre-wash nothing!)

Miele is definitely worth the money. Ours is great and much better than the cheaper one we had before. It gets the dishes cleaner, is easy to load (we have a cutlery drawer at the top and it is great) and quiet.
