Why don’t things last anymore like they used to? I noticed a few days back that my dishwasher was not cleaning as it should do and today everything has come out just as it went in, well nearly. I tried again, I topped up the rinse aid and salt dispenser but still no joy. I am afraid it is going to have to be a new one, I think mine has seen the ghost despite being only 5 years old.

Okay I could get a repair man but by the time he has charged me £100 to prolong its life a little longer is it worth it? He did also warn me that there was not much he could do if it was the sensors playing up… So it will be my favourite price comparison people today looking for a bargain, at least it will give me an excuse to upgrade to an ‘A’ energy efficient one, even more energy efficient if I wash up by hand I hear you say
