After more then 15 years of loyal service, our “old” dishwasher died 🙁
After some investigation, I came to the conclusion that a Bosch dishwasher with a “B” energy-label,
is more economical, then a Siemens or Miele dishwasher with an “A” energy-label !
This one also does have some bells and whistles, like interior lighting and WiFi 🙂
