    I would recommend Fisher & Paykel draws (parents, sister and friends have/had them and they've been great - no leaks either but worth googling that) but I personally find them a bit annoying for big salad bowls and platters so we put in a Bosch in our last house. It was a lovely dishwasher but it didn't dry the dishes well at all. We sold the house a year after building it so I never got around to getting it looked at.

    We are in a 'knock down' house at the moment and we put in a really cheap DeLonghi and it's useless! We should have spent a bit more and put in something decent especially given we'll sell it when we knock down anyway. We have to put it on the longest, toughest cycle regardless of what is in there or it just doesn't clean. Even then we sometimes have to hand wash some of the dishes as they come out dirty My parents have the same dishwasher but with different branding (Whirlpool or Westinghouse - I can't remember!) and it's equally as crap as ours. They have the exact same issues and it floods the kitchen if they have a power outage. It's been 'repaired' several times but the problem still continues. They had the F&P draws in their last house and loved them.

    When we build our next house I think we'll go for a Miele.

    Do not buy a Heller - absolute C.R.A.P. Ours lasted about 10 months and was then unuseable, didn't even want it to be repaired, so glad to see the back of it.
