any recommendation on the brands?

Prefer a narrow one for apartment use, as i would like to fit into the existing kitchen cabinet area that developer provided (i.e. minimal dismantling) . thanks

Nobody can imagine the kitchen cabinet area.

I made my kitchen to fit a dishwasher

it has been like what, 4 years

Most important thing sondary thing in my kitchen. Time saver, life saver, stress reducer, semua laaa

Best decision EVER

oh really?
well- my wife insisting to get one for our new house.
i am like 50:50

my guess is that i would take 20 mins to was and clean all the dishes with hand.
while to rinse and place one by one will take 10 mins, and to take out after it is done take another 5 mins

so in the end only save like 5 mins.?

hope can hear more and get more view.
if to buy, either Bosh or Electrolux.

> agreed if buy, then buy a full size one.
> agreed to use, only if a complete family dinner ( say 10 plates large and small, and 2 pots)

You think
You try and kira dulu the time

Placing dished is like after every time pakai letak dalam, habis cycle take out. I kira, not more than 10 mins in total thorughout the day (in/out)

Its just not time that is being saves, its the stress level

Last time hate it to cook, or eat at home. After the dishwasher, I never had a negative thought about doing the dishes. Dulu I run once every 2-3 days, now its almost daily, between 1-2 days because I just dont care One less thing on the mind Bro

Oh, I use Beko DFN, sbb it was cheap, so at the time on the pagar like you, at least kalau white elephant not that costly of an elephant.

thanks bro. good advice.

i think we cant stand to put dirty dish inside and keep it over night.
need to run daily, unless very little dish then use hand to wash

and now with Carousell can always sell it off

Bro, like bro ijan said, 5 min put in 5 min take out.... in between 35 min u can do many things including family bonding.....

n yes, if space allow, get a full size 1....

Even normal 2pax din din can take 1hr to clean
Not just the plates but the pots and pans as well

My white elephant Fagor full size was 1700 I think.
How much is urs?

Agreed..the 1hr saved can watch tv or rest.

haha.... so many goodness.... but since there are so many users here,

I hav 1 question:

I think they recommend to open the door a little bit after the dishwasher done washing the dishes, do u guys do it everytime?

is there a big difference if dun open?

some may ask wat is the purpose of opening the door.....
correct me if im wrong:
for the hot air of drying dishes to escape and prevent condensation back to the plate.... so end up dryer dishes.....

** only some top end model has auto open door after done function**

Yes we always let it breathe after dishes are done, to dry out the DW as well.

some older one recommends such action

Some newer one, with the help of rinse-aid, and internal ventilation fan+high heat final rinse x perlu.

However, malaysia weather climatic laaa, 80% of the time it dries perfectly, 20% of the time ada wet. IF i happen to pass by and the dish is there and malas nk simpan, i just open the door ajar until someone datang rajin to kemas

@ceo684 SenQ with some crazy rebate atm around rm2.2k kottt.

ooooooo icic...... good habit....

oh oh.... now u made me curious which newer one....

I'm using a Bosch built in dishwasher. It's 5 years old and I've owned it for the last 6 months. It hasn't given any trouble and according to the expatriate family that owned it before me it has never needed any service or repairs other than they replaced all the gaskets for precautionary reasons. Before I installed it into my cabinet, I had the pump replaced as I didn't want a situation where it had to be dismantled because it requires maintenance.

I also have a smaller dishwasher. It's a Fotile and access is from the top rather than front. It is perfect for smaller households or those who don't want to wait for a full load to run the machine. I mainly use it to wash fruits and vegetables though.

Items you shouldn't put in a dishwasher?
-Knives.
-Crystal.
-Metallic etched china.
-Non stick pans.
-Cast iron pans.
-Stainless steel pans.
-Many plastic dishes.
-Wood, especially wooden bowls or cutting boards.

eyh, most NOW punya dishwasher xperlu dah

the older on uses heating element as a dryer, and do not have ventilation (due to limited design spec atm). ATM thats why most plastics xbley masuk DW, or ada certain type can, but upper rack, sbb bottom rack near the heater. Old one la ini

New one ada vent fan/hole that can be closed during washing cycle, uses high temp water and rinse aid to aid drying (hot water+hot materials = high heat load+water evaporation)

Hey all.. Need some advice trying to choose the best option between these 3 Bosch models. SMI4HCS48E, SMS4HCI60E, and the SMS4HMC01R. I sorta understand cleaning-wise they'll all perform satisfactorily. However, which would be the better option to go with in a new cabinet build. Thanks.

Edit: Worth it to ignore em & just spend more to get the SMS6ECC51E instead? The dishwasher will be used at least twice weekly. ☺️

Is it this product: FOTILE SD2F-P6 [3-in-1] Sink Dishwasher

I am seriously considering this one but price is 🤯 is it good for dishwashing?

Otherwise I was considering a countertop Bosch (space limitations and cost of cabinet make it difficult to retrofit a built in/freestanding), is the Bosch countertop any good?
[NEW] Bosch Series 2 Compact Dishwasher - SKS2ITW00E (Online Exclusive)

Leaving it here

Bought a Beko countertop dishwasher (small) and pretty good... not as big as those full size as small family of 4 people just nice... 1 meal or 2 meal can fill up the dishwasher and clean... result pretty good... can also fit into kitchen cabinet if want... but I left it in yard top of washing machine... kitchen too much gadget and coffee machine no space there hahaha

Ate those smaller table top dishwashers ok?
Saw Xiaomi, Midea etc sub RM1k type.
