OH DEAR, OH DEAR - we are now on our 4th Slimline Classixx in around 20 yrs (3 bought, and the last of those now replaced under Warrantee after it developed an internal leak which caused 2x heater-pump units to fail!)Bosch Classixx...
LOL!Never said I lived alone...
The amount of water the DW uses (it's a slimline too so less than a standard sized) is far less than that of hand-washing, so, yep, saves a lot of water, and my spine, the sink's too low for me to stand infront of for more than 10 minutes...
Bosch Classixx...

Good luck Mate ! - and don't bother plumbing it in now as it might well have to come out again "sometime soon"
Not sure how "old" you meant by "older ones", but first 2 lasted 7-8 yrs each until the pipework got clogged up (very hard water in this area), and then the latest purchased one lasted only around 18-19 months before the internal leak occured - so that was a very recent machine.Older ones were actually just rebadged Hotpoint (aka Indeshit) machines, an yeah, those were crap, had a Hotpoint slimline back in Lancashire an it was a piece of crap, so it was left behind...
No issues with mine though, was an ebay purchase (returned, slight damage to the outside which washed off easily), just needs plumbing in properly...

Have always used dishwasher salt in the machines, and that seems to help (marginally?) - used to buy the bags in MAKRO, but about a year I bought a commercial "bags of bags" of it from COSTCO and now have enough for at least the next 3 years (at a far lower price than paying £3-4 a bag from the supermarkets!).Probably going to receive a steely stare for this, but, did you remember to fill the salt thingy up with water-softening salts? Don't need to do it round here (water's pretty soft here), but it's a good way of preventing buildup of limescale, that and an occasional run with vinegar in the machine...
