Blomberg LDF30110 13 Place Setting Dishwasher Review & Demonstration

I found this Blomberg dishwasher in the holiday cottage I was staying in and was pretty impressed by it. It's now discontinued by the manufacturer, but a quick google search found a few online retailers still selling this model.

Don't get fooled by brand names!They have plenty of stickers in the factory in Turkey.......

[@sloeginandsleep1170]

That they do, it’s a Arçelik brand, same as Beko, but Blomberg machines have a far better build quality than their Beko sisters (feel the baskets and handles and you can tell a difference), but they come with a 3 year warranty as standard. It works for us. We have 4 children, plus us both and it never fails to clean and two years later has never broken down nor failed to get anything clean. Compared to the Miele we had previously that broke down 4 times in 12 months, it’s been a lifesaver. No hate on Miele though. We have their washing machine and tumble dryer and they are faultless.

roger u forgot to add the spray arm back

[@nick2203]

We have a Beko dishwasher with basically the spec as this Bloomberg machine. That’s no big surprise as Bloomberg appliances are made by Beko. The number 4 program is a 60 minute 60 degree wash without prewash.

Well done ibaisaic I love your videos please do some more demonstration on miele bagged vaccume cleaner thank you have a good day

[@ianrodden3332]

Wow that filter was pretty disgusting before you cleaned it! I think they get forgotten about in holiday homes and it leads to very smelly dishwashers I find, with dishes smelling even after they have been cleaned! It did look like it gave them a good clean though.

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

Great Review , i wouldn't be without my dishwasher it save time and water. Especially the cost of water here in Australia

[@michaelmertin4018]

Hi,Blomberg,Bosch and beko are made in the same factory in Turky.Only the prices are different.

[@josephmay4937]

And we don’t add any salt in our dishwashers machine here in the USA as well

[@und4287]

Simillar models were sold under the Beko name.

[@dglcomputers1498]

Yes, AFAIK in the UK Blomberg is an exclusive Euronics brand of Arcelik appliances, we have the Blomberg A+++ and my Gran had the BEKO equivalent with only a few design differences (touch buttons on the Beko and proper buttons on the Blomberg). They also had a slightly different filter setups with two mesh filters in the bottom of the door opening on the Beko and a single filter in the door opening with a foam filter in the bottom of the machine (in front of the condenser).

[@lgray63]

Thank you, I couldn't remember how to open the filter on my built in Blomberg and I guess they haven't changed the design and hey presto I got it open. 😊

[@sloeginandsleep1170]

We have the replacement model to this, the LDF42240, and genuinely I’ve been shocked by how good it is. It was a distress purchase (previous dishwasher failed and flooded the kitchen two weeks before Christmas), but a three year warranty, free installation, free disposal of the old one and came 13 hours after purchase was the decider, but no matter what I put into it, it comes out clean. Roasting meat trays, baked on pasta, carbonara, ragu sauce, greasy frying pans, dried on gravy…..nothing phases it too much. If anyone is interested, the finish tablets recommend by Blomberg/Beko don’t particularly do a great job, it was okay but wouldn’t write home about it. Fairy platinum plus is what we use generally for most loads, if it’s a very lightly soiled load then we use Asda Smartprice tablets, and still all is clean.

[@tomwheat-moles3626]

If youve had experience with beko youve had experience with this, its pretty much a rebranded beko dishwasher

[@davidgalloway6574]

I fell in love with a friend's new I suspect very expensive Miele dishwasher. All stainless one button touch on top of door. Nearly silent and everything every single time comes out absolutely put away perfect. We don't use salt here in the US I think. Not that I know of anyhow. Enjoy your videos so much.

[@ibaisaic]

I don’t know why American dishwashers don’t have a salt container, though I suspect many German and European made models imported to the US have them. The salt is to soften hard water and improves the washing performance.

[@davidgalloway6574]

@@ibaisaic Thanks so much ...very soft water in Seattle, but it varies all over the country. I didn't realize it improved washing performance.

[@spencerwilton5831]

david galloway Soft water reduces spotting on glassware in particular. It also prolongs the life of the machine. When you first install your new dishwasher in Europe it comes with a pack of water test strips to check the hardness of the water supply. You set the machine accordingly to minimise salt usage. You can disable the softener function all together if you have a whole house water softener or have naturally soft water.

[@janeclark4915]

I always find that I have standing water 💦 on top of my mugs.. is this normal Roger? Thank You xx

[@ryanhawkins1235]

Yes, every dishwasher that I have owned or used has done that.

[@LemLTay]

There are several things that can be tried: 1) Look for a slanting shelf or row in the middle / upper basket. The more the mugs slant and are not standing upright, the more the chance for water to run off; 2) Increase drying time or turn on drying function or heated drying if available; 3) Check rinse aid is topped up, or increase amount dispensed (via dial or electronic setting); 4) When it's time to replace mugs, get ones with cutaway bases - like those in the video. The inexpensive ones from Ikea have the notches on four sides, which really helps water not pool in there. The worse are those with a deep indent, and cups (or mugs) with a deep foot in the base are the worst culprits for pooling water.

[@zackaboy1236]

Mine does that every time…

[@MrWolfSnack]

I wash my dishes by hand so I never have "standing water" on dishes.

[@zackaboy1236]

My Bush machine is very similar to this

This seems similar to a beko. My beko has the same dispenser, spray arms and filter

[@Boodieman72]

I haven't seen a dishwasher you add salt to, in the US.

[@spencerwilton5831]

US appliances are junk, and designed to fail. European dishwashers all have built in water softeners (hence the salt) which means shinier dishes and no scale build up which shortens the life of the machine. The softener function can be disabled for properties with naturally soft water or homes fitted with whole house water softeners.

[@Boodieman72]

@@spencerwilton5831 Most US homes have a whole house softener if the water is hard.

[@maxd4968]

European dishwashers also fill up with cold which makes so much more sense for rinsing

We also don’t have salt dispensers in Australia even though we have similar style appliances that is a European thing
