My Bosch won’t take tall wine glasses either. I sort of half lay them or hand wash. I don’t buy the tall ones anymore. Bench height is the parameter these machines need to fit under so there is a limit to how much height is available for adjustment. I put taller items near the edges where the arm can’t reach.

 

Take a plate to HNorman and check out the other dishwashers to see what their fit is like. You can say that you didn’t wash any of your 'other' dinner set until you had guests six weeks later and realised they don’t fit. 

 

 

I had a similar issue with my series 6. You can pull just the right side of the middle basket up, and then large plates below on the right hand side fit fine. The wine glasses do have to be tilted on their sides and are further cramped though. Would have perhaps been smarter for the wine glass guides to be on the left of the middle basket instead of the right. They 'fixed' it by including the special 4x wine glass stand thingy that take up a lot of space on the bottom rack.

 

I've switched most wine glasses to ones without stems, as I'm not that fancy to care if I don't match my wine to the right shape glass.

Yes, I've seen much more expensive Miele dishwashers (which have much more room inside them, admittedly) have wine glass holders in the bottom rack.

 

Let's see how we go with Electrolux escalations (should be fun), otherwise it might be time to upgrade to some smaller dinner plates lol

Beware the F&P DishDrawer, our dinner plates are a bit big for that too.

 

 

Same.  Our dinner plates are 273mm diametre. We just moved into a place with a dishdrawer, and we have to angle the dinner plates to get them in.   The last place had a Miele built in and they fitted in that just fine.

I'm not sure whether they'll entertain a return for something like that after ~six weeks. If you'd gone back to HN immediately then they'd probably have been receptive, but after you've already been using the thing since last month?

 

 

If OP has been led into believing everything would fit based on advertising images, you may have grounds to argue your case.

 

On the other hand, until there's a DIN standard for dinner plates, the supplier might argue OP's plates are too big.

We have pretty standard dinnerware, although never bothered to measure them, and they fit in our dish drawers just fine. It's impossible, and unrealistic to expect a manufacturer to cover every conceivable plate, pot, bowl, cutlery variation.  You will always find something that doesn't fit, or that doesn't fit nicely.  You chuck it in there as best you can, or handwash it.

This one:

 

AEG 60cm Freestanding Stainless Steel Dishwasher – FFB53600PM - FFB53600PM

 

 

Thanks, see what you mean, If I'm seeing right you can't even lift the top basket up like many others? Plates are the other way like 90 degree around to some other machines as well.

^ you can adjust the upper basket. It just means the upper basket becomes severely limited, requiring all items to be very short.

@AklBen I can’t see that you have confirmed here that your plates are not more than 27mm.





Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Is the upper tray raised to the highest point?

^ no.

 

The quick setup manual states that a 27cm plate will fit with the upper tray in the lowest position. Of course, we have been using the dishwasher with the upper tray raised to its highest position, but that means I cannot clean wine or tall glasses in this $2000 dishwasher, and I'm finding that Electrolux needs to provide an answer on this, as it contradicts their instructions.

Yeah, think it's a height restriction issue in a dishwasher. Our Bosch was exactly the same, I had to raise it to the highest level while removing the top/top cutlery tray. 

 

Probably a comms issue in the manual.

I’m confused. The manual says 27cm when the upper tray is in its lowest position. You’re using it in its highest position - not its lowest position - but you’re complaining that a 27cm plate won’t fit. 

Is that correct?
