Does not have half load function. Does not have 30 min quick wash. Does not have auto door opening function. Does not come with coherent instructions.

This integrated dishwasher is quiet and spacious. There is enough room above the upper basket for pint glasses, bowls etc. to use the upper cutlery tray so more room in the lower tray without a cutlery container. So far it cleans efficiently. After professional fitting It sits slightly proud of the cabinet fronts but only by a few millimetres. When operating it shines a discrete red light on the floor which is helpful. The digital operating buttons seem to need quite a firm press and don't respond to a light touch. The inside of the tightly sealed and well protected packaging was somewhat damp but has not impacted the product, although the cardboard pallet base was falling apart. the instructions mention a 'quick start' guide which was not in the packaging.

I'm amazed how many good reviews there are for this machine. It basically doesn't fit normal size plates if the middle tray is in the lower position. The arm hits them. It means the middle tray has to always be in the high position, which in turn means only tumblers and cups fit in the middle tray. Pint glasses and wine glasses will not allow the upper cutlery tray to fit it. Absolutely misses the whole point of a 'large capacity' dishwasher. Returning the machine and accepting I'll lose about half the refund value as I've used it, but frankly worth it to avoid the frustration of such a badly designed product. Useless. Avoid.

A replacement for our 7 year old Beko, this one is definitely an improvement in what was already a great machine. Good choice of wash cycles, folding racks top and bottom, cutlery tray so you can lose the basket on bottom and free up more space. Nice and quiet too. One huge improvement for me is the beeps at the end of the cycle. The old one was 7 long high pitch beeps that went on forever and couldn't be turned off. This one it's two short beeps plus you can lower the volume or mute altogether.

Excellent value. The cutlery tray is a bonus, leaving more room on the bottom shelf. It's so quiet you can't even hear the water filling up in it. It cleans to perfection, I would recommend it to be as high spec as the top priced dishwashers. Highly recommended.

Early days but it seems to wash well and we don't find it noisy (nothing that disturbs conversation, quiet radio listening or bothers me when reading). The Which? team must have VERY sensitive hearing! Feels smaller than our last slot in model - you'll only get 15 place setting in if you use very small crockery. The cup ledges in the top basket are particularly narrow, so getting chunky mugs in isn't so easy. Installation instructions are a bit rubbish - you have to read and compare across three booklets/sheets. Watch the vid online and Google the rubber sheet! Operation instructions miss some key steps. But with patience it can all be figured. We're not the best at DIY but we managed to do it all, and fit the door front, with complete success. A few things that weren't super clear from the description: - Racks do fold down in part of the bottom and top baskets, so there's some flexibility - although more fixed prongs than my last Beko, limiting and annoying but workable. - The grid over top of the loose cutlery basket does fold back (which is good cos I cannot imagine most cutlery handles would fit through it) - No, it doesn't beep incessantly when the cycle ends. Phew! Why would anyone want that??? - The delay timer works in 30min intervals.

Everything great about this. Washes well, very quiet compared to our old dishwasher. Various programmes to choose from including a quick wash for less soiled items through to more intense programmes for those heavily soiled items. The cutlery drawer is a plus as it creates more space in the main part of the dishwasher, so no need to take up valuable space with a cutlery basket! Some of the plate racks fold down too which is another plus as this creates a flat space for larger dishes and pots and pans etc. There is also a useful light that illuminates onto the floor indicating that the dishwasher is still going through its cycle.

A lovely quiet dishwasher. Easy to install but the fitting instructions aren’t the best. The projected red light on the floor is a nice touch to show the machine is in mid cycle. I know some people don’t like this and you can’t turn it off In the settings but if you install the supplied heat/insulation mat the other way round it actually blocks the light (as found out by accident). Space inside is better organised than our last Bosch dishwasher and we love the top cutlery draw, this still leaves plenty of room for big glasses and shaker bottle on the next shelf. All in all we are very happy with the purchase and service from AO.
