Reasons to be cheerful!

Yeah if I'm paying 1000 dollars for a dishwasher it had better put them away too.

That's just the kind of money these things cost around here. Could have gone for lesser quality and gotten off "easier".

Bosch make excellent appliances. I've had a Bosch Side-by-Side refrigerator for a few years and it has been faultless. Other good brand over here are Miele and Gaggenau.

I've heard mixed reviews on Bosch appliances. No firsthand experience though. I steer clear of the fancy stuff with control boards. The old stuff is usually so easy to fix and can be had cheaply. It's amazing how long you can run old fashioned kit with dials and timers.

I should have just taken the one from my mother-in-law's house. It's been working flawlessly since it was purchased in the '70s. It's even porcelain-lined inside! Too bad we're renting it out atm.

My clothes washer and drier are LG brand and they work very well but with all that electronic control mechanism, it is scary.  The damned things even talks to me.  The washer actually weighs the load of clothing before it decides how long to run the washing, spinning, rinsing cycles. 

That it has all the electronics means that when it breaks I can not fix it.  The old fashioned hard wired ones I could fix.

Which probably means you're not going to get the sack

Oh, but she is! :nods: And I'm the dryer, if the machine is broken.
