We had a $1700 Asko before this which was a very good dishwasher until the bugs got into the circuit board and burnt it out. $350 to repair it and find that the pump was sensor was also not working and I cut my losses. Bought the Teka because it was one of a few that fitted in our opening and absolutely no regrets. Washes as good as the Asko and is quieter and has a better control panel with kids lock! Need to lift the top drawer for larger plates as has a cutlery tray instead of basket. I think I prefer the basket as the tray takes up more room. I like the convenience of the tray tho. The wife likes it and thats just icing on the cake lol.
