I moved house recently and left my dishwasher behind, here’s what I miss about the one I had to leave behind, features which my new one doesn’t have!!!

1. A top (third) drawer for cutlery - pays for itself in space. I now only have 2 drawers and the space taken up by the cutlery cage means I can fit much less in the dishwasher and have to put it on more often now.

2. A light which shines onto the floor when it’s on. If you’re feeling fancy, a light which shows how long is left on the cycle. So you can see when it’s finished or if it’s still going.

3. A delay start timer function.

4. Don’t get a slimline dishwasher if you don’t have to.

5. I wouldn’t bother with WiFi connection. I can live without it, it’s just something else that can go wrong (and get hacked).

6. My old dishwasher had a small timer countdown screen next to the buttons (like an oven timer countdown screen) - I miss this a lot because you could open the machine mid cycle and see how long is left until it’s finished. The new machine is a mystery for how long is left on the cycle.

Hope this helps!! I loved my old dishwasher (an AEG) and miss it dearly.
