@Punker : Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the video :) @ravihpa : For most automatic machines (Bloomwash included for sure), there is a maximum time for every activity, including water filling. If the maximum time elapses in any activity, the machine will sound an alarm. You may go...

@ravihpa : The machine (8kg) is serving us well till now and it really does its job of cleaning clothes well. However, if you have low water pressure in your house, better to go for semi- automatic machine. Semi automatics are also supposed to be far more reliable than automatic ones, but does...

@gauravH : May I know which make and model this dishwasher is

Thank you all for the replies so far. My query is specific and I guess existing dishwasher users would be better able to answer this- In the event of a power cut, does the dishwasher resume from exactly the same point, shown in the digital countdown timer?

I have a query regarding dishwasher. In the event of a power cut, does the machine resume from exactly the same point? I mean in a 2:55 (hr:min) program, if a power cut happens at 01:25, then does it resume from exactly 01:25 or from a point a little around 01:25? Any dishwasher user may also...

@pratikb : I have a query regarding your Siemens dishwasher. In the event of a power cut, does the machine resume from exactly the same point? I mean in a 2:55 (hr:min) program, if a power cut happens at 01:25, then does it resume from exactly 01:25 or from a point a little around 01:25? Any...

@Punker: It'll be great if you can add a video of the spinning mode. It'll help me gauge whether my machine is working normally or not :) Also, which LG machine you had previously?

@pratikb: Have you also checked the LG direct drive top loaders? LG also has direct drive in front loaders and the vibration during spinning is reportedly less in direct drive machines. Also, I would like to clarify a few points mentioned in the above posts: Front Loaders: 1. Many front...

@Punker: Any updates?

@Punker: 1.Which one did you buy- 7.2kg or 8kg capacity? 2.How is the vibration during spinning? (Asking this since my machine vibrates during spinning) 3.A few photographs of the machine and a review would be great!

@terence_fdes: Thank you for the clarification. Just a few more doubts (pardon me for repeatedly asking): 1. In step2, is the spin time of 1 minute the default setting in some program or do you change the default spin time to 1 minute every wash cycle? 2. Does the machine pick up the full rpm in...

I think R32 based machines are provided by Daikin only. R410 is comparatively more mainstream. Between R410 & R32, I would prefer R410.

Do check the cooling capacity of the AC expressed in watts. For a 1 tonner, it should be a minimum of around 3516W.In my opinion, 1.5T would be an overkill for 140 sq feet room. Will the usage be continuous for 10 hours? If yes, a 1.1T inverter AC will the correct choice.

True, if there is no other use of the water, then heating water solely for washing in a big capacity geyser may be a waste of energy. IFB Diva is no longer available. I guess that no front loader now comes without a heater.

@ All: Thank you for your views. They are truely enlightening. @terence_fdes: I have used my machine in cold, warm (35C) & hot (45C) modes. My observations are: 1. Cleaning is better (especially at dirt prone areas like shirt collars/ cuffs etc.) when warm/ hot water is used. Even the...

@pratikb: Even I have visited a Siemens shop in Mumbai & I am convinced with their machines. The issue is service for Siemens is not available within 200km+ of my hometown, the place where the dishwasher is required. I understand that the dishwasher can be sourced from elsewhere, but won't...

Even I am looking forward to purchasing a dishwasher. I understand that Siemens and Bosch are the leaders as far as quality and reliability are concerned. However, in my area, none of the dealers stock machines of Siemens/ Bosch or Kafe make. There is no service center as well in my area for...

@terence_fdes: You had reported the problem of vibration during spin mode sometime back. Even my Whirlpool 360H machine (top loading automatic) vibrates during spin mode, sometimes quite violently, but not to the extent that the machine displaces itself. I got the machine (still under warranty)...

Yes, even I have observed certain models of Videocon & Blue Star to have same specs (same ODU size, weight etc). May not necessarily be an import from China but can be a common manufacturing factory!

Rishiguru, I must appreciate your efforts in enlightening us on so many dimensions that need to be considered while purchasing an AC. This thread is a repository of information, to say the least. Hope to see your active participation in this forum in the coming days, as has been!
