Indesit D61 24 in. Portable Dishwasher

Pros: Cheap and cheerful
Cons: Unreliable with a short life span

I owned this monster for nearly two and a half years. During this period an engineer has repaired it on three occasions.

It occasionally floods and has to be turned onto its side and drained before it will work again. Yesterday it decided to trip the circuit breaker when the pump starts up. Having had enough I have ordered a Bosch Dishwasher. Indesit appliances are cheap but seem to have a short life span. My old Bosch dishwasher worked well for 12 years.

To make matters worse, my Indesit washing machine (2 years old) has also developed a fault. Is there a pattern emerging here?
