I bought a Bosch lifestyle automatic dishwasher. Cost a fortune $1300 from the Good Guys in Moorabin. They delivered it next day as agreed. It works beautifully. quiet. has a problem washing old peanut butter off a knife but anything less difficult it does perfectly. I had doubts about the cutlery tray as opposed to a basket but its easy to load and if you segregate the items as you load much easier to unload. I paid for an extended warranty so it will be a long time before I need another. My previous machine was a Swedish brand that worked OK but broke down once a year and had an admitted electronic design fault that they fixed free until about a month before ours failed. I won't forgive them for that as it cost about $400

Approximate cost: $1300
