Very minimalist and sleek look, with no buttons or display panel visible (has the feel of an integrated dishwasher). The catch needed adjusting as the door clunked rather than clicked shut, but the instructions were simple enough to follow. The choice of programmes is comprehensive, and the eco dry model (door automatically opens) is a nice option. The silent programme is really very quiet indeed. It doesn't feel as solid as I'd like for an upper midrange dishwasher; there is a slight wobble on the top and the door has a bit of lateral movement when you open and close it.

A follow-up to my review below. We eventually worked out how to take out the frame for the cutlery trays without damaging anything (nothing in the virtually useless instructions) so now the dishwasher is usable. Now just have to buy an alternative cutlery basket that takes sufficient cutlery for a full size dishwasher, since as below, we have had to remove the cutlery trays and the provided basket is understandably small. One good thing - the runners on the bottom basket work well.

The dishwasher is much better than my old one. I particularly like the 27 minute cycle which cleans perfectly. One star taken off because couldn’t find any instructions on how to adjust feet to level. Obviously should have paid for installation!

Took a while for me to decide on a make but that was just because I had Smeg on my mind! Finally ordered an have to say I was a bit concerned about the cutlery tray but it’s great! It splits into two trays and one slides under the other which then gives you extra standing on 2nd tray. Thumbs up there! I know not ideal for no screen showing how long left but I found you can look between top and door and see numbers. It works for me.

Great stainless steel dishwasher with full door. Lots of programmes, quiet operation, opens its own door when finished. Has cutlery rack (removable) as well as cutlery basket. The top rack can easily be moved up or down.

Fantastic dishwasher, looks the part and cleans well.
