Hi Plumbbob
Thanks for your help. After a bit of further reading of the small print, I find that the two appliances have different requirements.
The dishwasher has longish legs that you can wind up - you can reach the front two from the front, and the central back one is connected to an adjuster, also accessible from the front.
The washing machine has to be placed on a suitable solid plinth, and the front legs allow for a little micro-adjustment for level.
I dread ever having to bring the washing machine out - or worse, put it back in. It is so heavy, and the tolerances around it are tiny, so any deviation from a straight line would cause it to jam. I think I'll try and get a second plinth made, to put in front of the permanent one, so the machine can be slid out onto it, and then pushed back in all on the level.
I hope these musings help someone else. Even if it just helps them to decide to live with 'ordinary' appliances that have done me fine for 25 years so far. These ones seem like too much hassle!
Cheers
