In general terms (although the brand we use is not useful in this instance as ours are domestic machines), at Westminster we've found having two smaller machines more useful than if we'd had one larger machine - it means we can have one washing while the other is still free to load dirty dishes, and it keeps the crockery and cutlery in circulation.

with all my best,
Lorna.

Dear William and Kirsten

Thank you both for your replies, very much appreciated!  We do use Nisbet for some things they were proving to be more expensive and can't provide what just what we need.  I'm really interested in the option of a refurbished machine (though I'm not sure they have exactly what we need in stick at the moment), and will be keeping their details on file for future reference.

Thanks again!

Tasha

At Coventry Meeting and in other places we have used Nisbets - just looked and they have a special offer reduced from £600 and up to £5,000. Cannot help with installation but if its a replacement cannot be too complicated. - like a washing machine?

Dear Friends

Lovely to see those who could make it to Meeting House Matters on Zoom today.

Our steriliser/dishwasher died a couple of weeks ago and we need to replace it asap, but I'm struggling to find one within budget that can be delivered and installed by the supplier.  Has anyone bought one recently and did the supplier deliver and install it, or am I delusional to think it might be that easy/straightforward (we have had the old one taken away by a scrap dealer, so that's one headache taken care of at least)?

To clarify, we are looking for an under the counter style that has something like 30, 60, 180 second cycles - not a domestic dishwasher or full pass through catering dishwashing system.

Many thanks 

Tasha
