Try posts@freemesa.org - they are a free site and you ask for what you want and wait!
I've seen requests for fridge/freezers, washing machines and more.
A year or two back, I posted a request for basin taps, and got a nearly new set!

I agree. In my experience dishwashers are quite prone to failure. I just wouldn't touch a second hand one unless I was really seriously skint.

Secondhand yep, but lets face it.. free; tide you over till you can afford one with a warranty and if it breaks you've lost nothing..

Generally not IME.

About £200 is the starting price, has been for a few years TBH.

IKEA. Lagan base model.£225  http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/90279762/

Basic model but has three programmes. Most people only use one or two programmes.

Just had a thought though maybe only comes as integrated (i.e. buy a door too). It might come as free standing.
