Contemplating buying dishwasher for mum, seeking your advice!

Hi there,


I am planning to gift my mom a dishwasher for her birthday and since I live abroad I asked my dad to visit the store and order. He being the spoilsport spoiled my surprise by telling my mom to check if she would find it useful and now she is against the plan claiming she won't find it useful..


My mom is 58 and she does everything herself at home, getting a quality maid has always been a problem hence she prefers to do herself but she is ageing and has the usual physical issues. I thought dishwasher could save her some time and effort. I thought to go with one of seimens standalone version having got a seimens washing at home already. It's only my mom and dad at home + guests once in a while and they mostly cook twice a day at least. Mostly stainless steel dishes with very limited ceramics or glass and vegetarian household.


My mom thinks that she won't it useful practically for Indian kind of cooking or usage. I wanna know from you all how useful it is in India with hard water, detergent cost and the practicality of it. What are the things should I consider before buying? Are there better options outside of Seimens? Also please advice on things I may have missed.


Many thanks
