Anyone know what would be cheaper on the power bill? There is no energy start rating on it as i think its what you would call an old dishwasher.thanks

A dishwasher every couple of days uses less water than half a dozen sinkfulls of water.

Does anyone really take notice of those star ratings? I don't!. Providing the product does a good job who cares about 2, 3 ,4 , or 10 stars ? Brain washing people, brain washing! Too much of that smiling idiot on TV telling everyone to get new tyres for their cars because the half worn ones cost an extra 2c a year in petrol, Idiot should get a real job!

Main consideration for me for a dishwasher is the price of detergents
I use soap scraps and handwash instead.

The general indication from the review magazines is that typically a dishwasher will end up more efficient than hand washing. Of course it will vary depending on how you hand wash and the amount of water you use and the sort of dishwasher etc etc etc.

!0 hrs old is practically brand new, why was it bought if the cost of running it could be a problem?

10 years is nothing. I had one for 13 years once. Dryer is 36 years.

I am currently without a dishwaster - and it's gross to see just how grubby plates are when then are washed by hand - get a dishwasher! The running costs are insignificant compared to say your heating. And yes 10yo should be just fine - just won't have as many buttons to do wrong

Cool guys I'm only guessing its that old,, its just old that's all i know. Never thought of the dishwasher powder and tablet price, good point that costs a fair bit

A teaspoon of dishwasher powder costs very little, most people use far too much for a load of rinsed dishes - the size of the container in the machine was designed by powder manufacturers!
