"Good, basic dishwasher. Cleans very well and had no issues with dirty items coming out still dirty yet.
Only downside is it doesn't dry very well - especially plastic items. Although I have tried all the programs yet, only eco, so this may be better on other settings. "

"This dishwasher was bought to replace a 5-year old Beko machine, which up until recently give outstanding cleaning performance although constantly suffered from rusting baskets that required replacement every 2 years or so. Time will tell if they have improved the wire coating on this model, but I guess it speaks volumes that we returned to another machine from the same manufacturer.
So far we have found the machine performs extremely well, offering very effective cleaning albeit at a noise level similar to the old machine despite claimed improvement. Having said, that the machine doesn't seem to clean any better than our previous machine did from new, although there is a distinct improvement in it's drying ability- especially when taking advantage of the heat from the higher temperature programs. One thing that we do do, is that despite using all-in-one tablets we still find drying is improved with using a rinse aid. Furthermore, in keeping with almost every other dishwasher you must try and vent the machine as soon as possible by cracking open the door to help release the last of the steam. Some more expensive models offer the facility to set those machines to do this automatically, unfortunately at this price point it still has to be done manually. Like most things in life, you get what you pay for and you have to adapt accordingly, so it's not a deal breaker.
the only criticism I have of this machine is in terms of the design of the baskets. Despite our initial scepticism, we have really grown to appreciate the inbuilt cutlery tray and it's improved cleaning over a badly stacked basket, so I can forgive the fact that by keeping the cutlery tray in place (it's easily removable if you wish to gain the space) you need to adjust the upper basket to allow reasonably sized plates to clear the spray arms below. However, the design of the upper basket is nowhere near as convenient as on our older machine, and it takes much longer to work out how you can creatively stack even moderately sized glasses so that they don't catch the underneath of the cutlery tray. True, you do get a rather limited removable glasses rack that you can use in the lower basket, but this is not designed in a way that allows it to easily fit without wobbling or compromising a lot of space around it. Personally, I would have a rather have the upper basket designed so that it was flatter, free from frequent changes in angle and depth, and therefore more convenient to work with in the same way that our old machine was.
Minor issues side over the shape of the upper basket, we are delighted with our purchase. Having spent almost 6 weeks currently researching and inspecting many machines from Smeg, Bosch and down to more budget brands, we are convinced we made the right choice in terms of features and performance."

"Never had a dishwasher before and was talked into it by my bf. Never again will there be an issue with who's turn it is to wash up (although I always won the battle). It is so quiet and easy to use. Who knew life could be so easy after meals. Now we have an issue as to who turns the dishwasher on.....simple things really do please!
I would definitely recommend this product. It has so many little extras like a tray at the top that makes placing cutlery in a doddle. Very worthwhile and great value for money."
