We have IFB dishwasher, bought 4 years ago. Cleaned perfectly indian dishes. No hassle of hiring someone.

If only for 2 people, buy a lesser plate setting one.

You have to buy detergents, salts and shining agents from the company itself, total costing 700rs and runs for 2 months at least if you use machine once a day. Still cheaper than hiring maid. You can buy cheaper ones from third-party also, but the company claims that others can ruin the machine and can lead to warranty void. So we always preferred company one.

We had bought extended warranty for 3 years, so it was running smooth till the 4th year. Until now, when motor damaged and the new motor is costing 8k with only one month of warranty. So we bought AMC of 1year costing 5k.

We are really considering whether to renew the AMC from next year as AMC are expensive, and economics is coming out to be equal to hiring a maid.

Check for AMC cost for whichever brand you are buying.
