We're on our third since 1998 when we moved into our current home, then a new build.
The first was an integrated Bauchnekt which didn't last long and was replaced with a Bosch. A brilliant machine withe lots of flexibility in both upper and lower baskets. By no means all allow racks, even at the back of the lower basket, to fold - a real pain with pans.
I was foolish enough to take out a Curry's repair plan with it. Around 2012 they stopped using Bosch's repair service and sent their own (didn't) Know How person when the arms were not rotating consistently. Ended up 'written off' and we got a voucher for a replacement.
Not enough for a decent Bosch and we ended up with a Zanussi which is still going OK. Had to replace some of the basket wheels as they'd been 'eroded' by the abrasive washing solution. I stick with powder as it's easier to manage the dose than with tablets as well as being cheaper.
Used liquid for a while early on but it has a different bleaching action and damaged some crockery.
Even with just two of us it goes in everyday.
