Dishwasher

Don't go real cheap and get one with a plastic lining; it starts to smell over time.
I like ones with a cutlery tray at the top as opposed to the basket. Check for good support for loose wine glasses, and make sure large dinner plates fit if you have them.
I've had disappointing experiences with Bosch and Smeg, mid to high end Miele is great if in budget.
I'd go something like this:

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
I've had the opposite experience. Hated the Miele we have in our rental and loved the mid to high end Bosch with the extra cutlery tray at the top.
The Turkish made Bosch is a fair whack cheaper than the german made but doesn't seem to give a lot away in quality from our experience with the dishwasher and the clothes washer.
Also check out Choice.

Current one is a Fisher & Paykel, been good for over 15years. Metal interior. I'm not looking for cheap.
F&P or Bosch is my thinking so far.
I will be installing myself, old boss is a plumber by trade, so get tips there.
Choice is a good tip, I signed on when I bought my clothes washer and it really helped. Stopped me buying a front loader.

I bought a Bosch for my rental about 4 years ago (on special about 600), if it's lasted that long with 3 different tenants it's fair to say it's pretty tough.

Our Bosch was great and lasted over 10 years. When it died and was no longer worth fixing, we looked around and picked up a factory second from delonghi online. It was $200 delivered. It is not as good as the Bosh but for $200 it was a bargain and it will do until we find another Bosch at a good price.

Same for me. Horrible experience with Miele with the 2 dishwashers and 2 washing machines I've dealt with both crapping out well before their time. Add to the the exorbitant cost of a mechanic call out (before they even fix the damn thing) and I steer well clear of them now.
The German made Bosch I now have is excellent. Quiet, cleans well and when it did give me trouble the service to fix it was hassle-free. That wasn't even the fault of the dishwasher itself though, just goddamn cockroaches getting in the mainboard and crapping on it. A quick coat inside the door with surface spray every year seems to fix that.
It's about 6yrs in now, and that was the only hiccough. Same story on the Bosch clothes washer (minus the cockroach induced failure).
Also steer clear of Asko if you want quiet. Sounds like a freight train.
Bosch here too. Last one died and it looked like ant or cockroach infected board failure. Thus no chance of warranty. Washer was out of warranty anyway so we replaced it. Seller suggested getting the repair guy to look at the old one anyway because some of the boards are cheap. So we swapped the new for old and arranged to get the old checked out. Board was replaced, deemed warranty somehow and now that washer is at my nephew's place running without a problem. That one is now 7 years old.

Definitely should have gone to specsavers
Another recommendation for Bosch from me too, @scblack. I had exactly the same need as you several years ago. Kitchen and lounge all in one space, and the old F&P dishwasher was just too noisy. Researched at the time and due to space constraints under the bench, had to go integrated and went for this one. Only 44dB running which is pretty darn quiet when you're next to it. Freestanding Series 6 models are just as quiet. Don't get the series 4 though as they aren't German made. The top cutlery drawer in them is bloody awesome too, shits all over the basket type machines.
Moved house since then and can't wait for the Miele dishwasher in the new place to shit itself so I can get another Bosch!

I actually also bought a Bosch ceramic stove top before the dish washer and it's been good too, I had a Blanco stove top before that and I had to send the Sparky there a few times to fix it, switches and elements would go on it all the time. Still got the Blanco oven and it's on the 3rd element in 14 years.

don't buy anything LG, their products are just slightly better than their customer service..which can be described as Woeful at best
as stated before, F&P and Bosch are good runners, also consider Westinghouse as a good option at a good price point.
