When dinner's done and the worktop is still covered, this AEG Series 6000 built-in dishwasher takes over. The SatelliteClean® spray arm works at multiple angles, so tightly stacked plates and larger dishes get proper coverage wherever they sit. With 13 place settings, it suits a bigger household or anyone who tends to cook for a crowd at the weekend.

Rather than working through a list of programmes, TimeSelect lets you pick how soon you want the dishes ready and sorts out the rest itself. The sensor reads how dirty the load is and adjusts the cycle to match, and the LED display counts down the time remaining. At the end, AirDry pops the door open so moisture escapes naturally, no tea towel needed. For hygienic care, the final rinse climbs to 69°C and holds there for at least 10 minutes.
