Cons

• Drying Performance: Drying effectiveness is inconsistent. While some find the drying adequate on intensive wash cycles, others report needing to hand-dry plastic items, plates, and cutlery, especially with auto or eco programs.

Another mentions tea stains remaining on mugs. Inconsistent cleaning results are reported, particularly on shorter programs.

One review specifically notes that the plate rails are too narrow. Large plates may interfere with the spray arm. The cutlery tray is noted for not securely holding cutlery, causing it to fall over and being unsuitable for cutlery with thick handles. The cutlery basket is described as too small by at least one user. One review mentions a lack of a cutlery basket despite the presence of a cutlery tray. One review notes difficulty placing wine glasses.

• Program Memory: The machine lacks memory for the last used wash program, always defaulting to eco mode.

• Door Mechanism: One reviewer describes the door as stiff to open fully and lacking counterbalance adjustment, and criticizes the sliding door feature. Another mentions needing to adjust the cabinet fitting to accommodate the door mechanism. The automatic door opening feature, while appreciated by some, is absent in others.

• Lack of Running Indicator: There''s no external light or indicator to show that the dishwasher is running. Only a sound notification upon completion is mentioned.

• Filter Design: One review notes poor filter design leads to frequent flooding and error codes. The spray arm hitting the back of the machine when the tray is in high position is also mentioned.

Comments

The reviews reveal a disparity in user experience.

The lack of a final time indicator and a running indicator are mentioned. One review mentions the dishwasher is not suitable for large plates and pans. Many reviews mention the dishwasher''s suitability for large families. The majority of the promotional reviews simply state that the machine is good, without providing specific details. One review reports a complete machine failure. Several reviews mention ease of cleaning the dishwasher itself.
