  • It's time to do the unboxing and set up of my brand new Cookology Countertop Dishwasher and set it up for use with a kitchen tap, just for the time being, until I can get it plumbed in by a professional plumber. My tap does NOT have a screw thread on the end - it's a smooth cylinder! This was not very helpful but I managed to find a solution with a bit of advice from a plumber.

    The tap adapter I bought was from Wilco and was £4 - but as you could see from the video, it needed some extra work doing on it before it would fit.

    Well done on your perseverance! I had a plumber install my table top dishwasher and never had to put that item on my tap ever so none of that screwing anything to my tap, I just plugged in and it worked, it must be all set up behind my dishwasher so no need for the annoying tap things coming off. If you don’t have the space for a full dishwasher and dislike washing dishes as I do then you will adore these sizes of dishwasher, great for one person or max two. Love mine, on my second one and wouldn’t be without it, also being on worktop you don’t have to bend down to load and unload, another plus.

    i'm addicted to watching your channel now, just started home ed for my 13 yr old eczema and allergy daughter..and although i have a rather big dishwasher, we never use it, however, i find i'm supporting daughter with lessons etc until 3, then doing planning, researching etc until about 11pm together with my own stuff..i'd rather have a table top dishwasher too..plus your video reminded me of the time when my husband was away, i wanted a clothes airer up in the garden, well i bought a large one as we have 3 adulst and 1 child in the house..i bought such a big airer that i couldn't fit it in the car properly, then, i dug out a hole and got my instant cement mixed up, digging hole took 30 mins of hard work..when i placed the spike in, i hadn't realised how quick, quick cement mix was!!! so i ended up having to dig another hole, but had a full on fight with myself in my garden to get the spike back out first, i had a massive tantrum in the garden that my mother and daughter retreated back inside the house. Plus we now live with a wonky lopsided clothes airer because i still didn't get the hang of using quick cement and i wasn't going to fight digging a third hole!! Honestly, there's always a story to laugh about with my DIY adventures, like the time i tried to put up a shower curtain and ended up with a hole that went right through from bathroom to living room.

    • @PlanetImo
      @PlanetImo  3 роки тому

      🤣 Your DIY adventures sound hilarious! I remember when I first started home-edding I would be planning til 11 every night too, but as time went on I kind of just got into a habit and pattern and didn't seem to need to do as much planning. I guess also probably because we eventually went the online/correspondence course route for key stage 4 which didn't involve as much planning. Good luck with it - I hope you enjoy it as much as we did and thanks so much for watching. :¬)

    i just got the 8 place baridi dishwasher. it is similar to yours. i tried a screw in tap adapter and it just kept leaking everywhere so i decided to plumb it in like the washing machine. i had to cut a hole in the worktop but it works great now with no leaks. it is also looks nicer than havig pipes all over the place.It is my first ever dishwasher and my emotions during the setup process were identical to yours.

Nearly as wet as I got disconnecting the old Hotpoint one, because the Valve had given up the ghost and then found the water stop tap was snapped and the other one was 8 metre's away from the Flat.

    i can explain why everything is wet. The majority of people don't know how to read boxes. If you pause the video at 0:09 you will see two arrows pointing up, this means 'this side up! the second symbol the umbrella means leakage can occur if not opened correctly. I hope more people will inspect their boxes first from the outside it is such a waste if the appliance needs to be refunded and returned. Overall it was a very nice unboxing, done with great enthusiasm!

    I have the 8 place version of this dishwasher(didn't really need such a big dishwasher but I find the extra basket shelf helps a lot to cram in more stuff). I live in a soft water area so even though I put salt in the tank it doesn't really need it. I also reduced the salt water setting down to the lowest it can go and the rinse aid down to one because the Finish Quantum ultimate pouches have rinse aid in them too. I forgot to do that first wash and everything had so much residue on them.

    I given up using salt and rinse aid on my old machine since most modern detergents have that function built in.

    I"m sitting here laughing... hubby asks what's so funny... I say if you ever need to weight something down, attach it to a mug of water.. lol
    Lmaoooooo... drip, drip, drip... yup... it hit the ceiling.. hahaha
    That's a lot of force behind the adapter coming off the faucet. Am wondering if that line around the faucet towards the bottom actually does come off to allow the screen inside to be cleaned out with built up minerals and allows for an attachement to be screwed to it for the d/w. The plumber will get that figured out. Best to sit back and wait for him.. ha

Have you seen the little dishwashers that don’t have to be connected at all? You just pour in water from a pitcher and the unit heats it up as it works. It’s small but great for tiny houses/campers.

      I actually got it from the gardening section in Wilko - sadly now closed down.

I gather they generally do have them so it’s worth checking.
