The washing-up pile doesn’t stand a chance against this Beko full size dishwasher. PowerIntense uses a four spray arm to make sure water reaches plates from more angles and baked-on food gets shifted rather than smeared around. SensorAdapt then reads how dirty the load is across four different levels and dials water, detergent and energy to match, so a tray of roasting tins gets a harder wash than a rack of glasses. Winding down for the evening? SilentWash cuts the sound by up to 2dBA compared with running the same programme without it, and it works across all three supported programmes, taking an already quiet 42dB machine a little further. At the end of a cycle, SteamGloss® adds extra heat to shrink water droplets, while SelfDry opens the door so air can move around the load and finish the drying off. Loading is where the Flexible Third Rack earns its keep, with removable sides that take wine glasses up to 24cm in the upper basket, plus a dedicated zone for long utensils. The lower basket handles dishes up to 29.5cm across, so oversized dinner plates and serving platters go in flat, and it has been tested with 16kg loads across more than 100,000 cycles. At 15 place settings and 60cm wide, it suits larger households with plenty of mouths to feed.
