Our dishwasher has broken down (and no, that's not me ). I'm off to start looking for a replacement this afternoon (thanks Krudd ).

Any tips, hints, recommendations? I haven't bought a dishwasher before, so this is new to me. I've only done fridges, washing machines etc, I can tell you all about those LOL. I do tend to lean towards the European brands (I have a Bosch washing machine) as I think they are generally made better and last longer, but I'm happy for other suggestions too. A few people have highly recommended an Asko.

So, what have you got, do you like it, and why/why not? TIA
