Belling BELFDW150 Standard Dishwasher - White - A+++ Rated

I would recommend this dishwasher, especially for its quietness.

We bought this product as it was a “which” Best Buy! The only downside people said, was that it noisy when running! We installed it ourself, no problem and very easy with the parts included! After a read through of the instructions, we ran the machine with a full load and to our surprise, was VERY quiet! Only a slight noise when filling up! After the cycle had finished, everything was clean and dry with no food residue and no streaks on glass. Very happy and would 100% recommend

Does everything you would want it to do, can’t recommend it enough. Cleans great and is quiet.

Very happy with this washing machine. 40db is "quite as a library" according to a little googling before I bought it which must be about right, it's actually hard to hear if it's on sometimes. The comments about the lower rack not fitting large plates if the middle rack is on its lower position do have merit but I've always been able to fit things in. I'm considering getting a cutlery basket and removing the cutlery tray to make more space on the middle rack for when I have large load: problem solved.

Having only had Bosch dishwashers for the last 15 years I hadn't realised they could be this bad. Yes, it looks fine. It's quiet. But -it takes an absolute age to load. You find yourself thinking, oh I'll just hand wash that to avoid the labour from loading it! The layout is awful. Hard to combine plates and pots. Doesn't really cope with anything bigger than a large sideplate. You really can't get that much in it, the placesetting number is absolute nonsense. I used to have a slimline Bosch and got more in that. And then, after all your work loading and unloading (far more work than should be required) things don't really come out clean. Cutlery in particular has awful water marks. I hate this machine, it really is the worst thing I have bought.

We bought this based on reviews and the fact it had a decent capacity (Or so it said). It ranks as one of the most disappointing purchases we have ever made. We have a very average dinner set (ikea / plain white) but in order to fit the plates into the bottom basket you have to hire the top basket to it's highest setting. That then rendered the top basket useless for anything other than cups - no chance of getting glasses etc in there. So the bottom basket has to accommodate basically everything except for cups, utensils and cutlery - and it's not very good at that, as it's set up entirely to hold plates, so glasses fall over and break on a regular basis. And tall glasses such as wine glasses - forget it - they usually wind up laying down on their sides. Then there is the cutlery tray - fine if you like taking 10 seconds to carefully place each and every item in a precise layout, but otherwise entirely frustrating. However if you have serious OCD, the cutlery tray will keep you entertained for hours. Once you have spent several days trying to force half a load in, you then get to wait for about 3.5 hours whilst it pretends to wash it. On most occasions, you then get to do a follow-up job in the sink. The best thing about this machine is that it's quiet. But I'm guessing that's because there's nothing ever in it, and it's not doing a lot of washing anyway. If you were considering buying this machine, save yourself the time, effort and expense and wash the stuff by hand....
