    Awful product, great service and after care from AO

    1/5
    Badly manufactured, a couple of obvious cosmetic faults that should have been picked up before it left the factory. I will however give AO five stars because a) it wasn't their fault, they just sell the items, and b) the after sales service was brilliant they could do enough to sort it out quickly

    Poor Quality

    1/5
    This product was poorley built, no strength in the door, the wheels on the the baskets were flimsy , infact an extremely bad design. £199.00 was a lot of money for this. Definitely would not recommend this item

    It looks nice and programs look straight forward. Sadly I haven been able to use it as it flooded my kitchen.

    Poor product and service

    Poor product and service, I wouldn't recommend. The machine broke down after a month and the third party repair company was very poor. Waited 6 weeks+ for new parts to arrive, then rescheduled an engineer visit, then still not working. Eventually managed to get a new machine from a different manufacturer. Not impressed.

    Hope nothing goes wrong....

    2/5
    First one arrived faulty. Discharge pump was running constantly even when the dial was set to 'off'. The hour+ I spent making to calls to various organisations only to be told by the repair people that I need to call AO, and AO telling me I needed to call the repair people, was frankly a pain I could have done without. I was actually told by "luckily your product is still within the manufacturers warranty!", to which I replied that we'd never even used it once yet, you need to send a new one!!!!.. furious by this point. Eventually someone agreed to send a new one. The delivery driver talked a load of twaddle to my office staff about how it should be installed (like if he was so good at this, would he still choose to be a delivery truck driver??)... I have also just finished wiring and fitting an entire kitchen elsewhere, I know what I am doing with a tiny basic dishwasher! AO is cheap for a reason, they cut corners on customer service. These days, there are other similarly priced competitors, I might look there as well next time.

    Leaking at less than three years old due to insulation not stuck down securely

    2/5
    Poor Build Quality - Writing this review for a C1745 dishwasher purchased less than three years ago. Initial impression was good but I would expect a new dishwasher to wash dishes satisfactorily. However the machine failed to run the other day so had to investigate. The machine had sprung a leak because the lip under the door had distorted. This happened because all of the bitumen insulation inside the door had not stuck down properly and the bottom piece had dropped into the gap between the door and the lip and bent it. Now water flows over that lip into the base and trips the flood protection. Have removed the insultion for now and bent the lip back into shape to hold the water in. That has got the machine running again but I'm not impressed with the quality compared to other dishwashers I have owned (Hotpoint - lasted 20 years, Tricity - lasted 14 years, Smeg lasted 11 years)

    Lightweight and cheaply made.

    3/5
    It works well, but seems much more lightweight than my previous dishwasher which was a bosch. The runners on the racks are flimsy, noisy and I'm worried that they will easily break. Time will tell.
