I had to get mine fixed as the heater coil fried and that in turn blew the control panel They don't always go hand in hand but for me it did unfortunately. It cost me over $300 to fix! It is over 5 years old and had a LOT of lovin' I think I do use the top drawer a lot more than the bottom one which may have had some bearing in it, but it could have been one of those things. The repair man said he does a lot of these, but the parts are reasonably priced compared to other brands. Something to consider I suppose.
Having said that I really do love it heaps and the best bit was that because the two drawers are separate I still could use the other drawer until it had to be taken away to be fixed. I put off calling to get it fixed for a few weeks till I could afford it.
I LOVE how I can put delicates on one cycle and at the same time put dirty greasy stuff on a heavy cycle in the other drawer. The cycles are a tad longer than other dishwasher too I think but you get used to that. Like going from a top loader washing machine to a front loader IYKWIM.

We have one. We've been in this house for almost 5 years, and it was here when we bought it, so it's more than 5 years old. I absolutely love it! Never had a problem with it.
You girls seriously have me torn. I know what I want, but I don't want it if I have to keep paying for it. Your input is really helpful though, the more I know, the better!
It's a hard one Nelle!!! They sure are popular! It does sound as though you're really keen........ Maybe you should just go for it!
Sam, sounds like you got really unlucky, what a bummer. How handy that you could still use the other drawer though! As for long cycles, my new dishwasher takes longer too, so maybe it's just the way alot of them are now, like top loaders?
I'll see how I go hey. We're going and having a look around today. We're going from me doing (or not, as the case may be) the dishes to having a dishwasher so I suspect I'll be happy with anything really.
And price will pay a factor obviously, I've seen some cheap prices here and there so I guess I'll just have to hunt.
And if I do get the dishdrawers and they play up, I can always come in here and whinge that you guys misled me.
