Plus, How to Get a New One Without the Upfront Cost
Have you ever tried to fit a big pan in your dishwasher and it just won't fit? Here's a secret that can help. Most dishwashers let you move the top shelf up or down. It's an easy trick. But it makes a big difference.
At Fair for You, we know a good dishwasher can save you a lot of time. No more standing at the sink washing up by hand. That's why we sell quality dishwashers from brands you can trust. And you can pay for them in a way that suits you.
Why Moving the Shelf Helps
Many dishwashers, like our Hotpoint and Indesit models, have a top shelf you can move. Look for clips or a lever on each side. Move the shelf up or down a little. It's easy to do.
Here's why it helps:
- More space for big things. Move the top shelf down to fit tall glasses and mugs underneath. Move it up to fit big pots and pans on the bottom shelf.
- Cleaner dishes. If you pack the dishwasher too full, water can't reach everything. Moving the shelf gives your dishes more room to get clean.
- Fewer breakages. Plates and glasses are safer when they have space around them.
- No more washing by hand. That big dish that never seems to fit? It probably will once you move the shelf.
It only takes two minutes. But it can make your dishwasher work much better.
How to Pick the Right Dishwasher
Are you buying a new dishwasher? Here are some things to think about.
Size. Big families often need a full-size dishwasher. This holds about 13 to 15 place settings. Smaller kitchens might prefer a slimline model. It's smaller but still holds a good amount.
Built-in or freestanding. A built-in dishwasher hides behind a cupboard door. It looks neat and tidy. A freestanding dishwasher is easy to set up. You can also take it with you if you move house.
Energy rating. Dishwashers have a letter rating from A to G. A is the most efficient. Picking a good rating can help keep your bills lower.
Handy features. Some dishwashers have a fast wash setting for when you're in a rush. Others have special drying settings too.
We sell trusted brands like Hotpoint and Indesit. We have full-size, slimline, built-in, and freestanding dishwashers. There's something for every kitchen and every budget.
Why a New Dishwasher Is Worth It
An old or broken dishwasher can cost you more in the end. It might waste water. It might use more energy. And it means more time washing up by hand. A good new dishwasher saves you time every single week.
But dishwashers aren't cheap. Not everyone has a few hundred pounds spare to pay all at once. That's where we can help.
How Our Household Loan Works
Fair for You is not like other lenders on the high street. We are a not-for-profit company. We are owned by the Fair Credit Charity. Our goal is to offer fair, affordable loans. This includes people on benefits, or people who have struggled to get credit before.
Here's how it works:
- Shop with our trusted sellers. Look through our dishwashers. We have cheaper slimline models and bigger built-in ones too. All from trusted brands.
- Apply for a loan. Our Household Item Loan lets you borrow up to £600 for things like a new dishwasher. Just answer a few simple questions about yourself. Most people get an answer within the hour (during our opening hours). Sometimes it can take up to a day.
- Get fast free delivery. Once you're approved, most items arrive in as little as 3 working days. Delivery is free across the UK. We can even take away your old dishwasher and fit the new one for a low cost.
- Pay it back your way. Choose how often you pay — every week, every two weeks, every four weeks, or every month. Choose how long you take to pay it back, from 12 weeks up to 52 weeks. There are no extra fees if you want to pay it off faster.
We are different from Buy Now, Pay Later. We are a charity-owned lender. That means we care about doing what's fair for you, not just making money. If your situation changes, you can change how you pay us back too.
