If your side plates & bowls are larger than saucers it limits the space available for mugs & large glasses in the top rack.

many programs but the most frequent program used is half load. Cleans without leaving soap or salt residue. Dries well. Quiet. I would buy it again and would recommend it. Spacious and flexible loading options. Attractive enough to be used in an integrated kitchen that is predominantly white or in chrome/steel depending on your choice of steel or white

On the top left there is a thin long shelf that does not lift up properly as it catches the top of the dishwasher. This can make it difficult to load on left side at the top.

Unnecessary plastic pieces on trays - thankfully these can be removed. If not emptied fairly soon after cycle is complete, dishes have to be hand dried which is a pain.

lack of substantial racks, they are cheap plastic and I have taken out the top set to enable glassware to be stacked better
No room for tall stemmed glassware at all, very poor as we use glassess a lot , Doesn't everyone?
The cups and mugs retain a lot of water as the dryer obviously isnt too good at evaporating the leftover water, so all items with hollow stems have to hand dried after washing cycle which again seems pointless and irritating when the whole thing should be done for you?

Top rack not as easy to load as my old machine, cant get as much in. However the bottom rack easily fits large dinner plates and plenty of them....we found that a lot of dishwashers couldn't hold our dinner plates as the rotary arm hit them.

Uses 2/3 the water of most dishwashers - 12L rather than 18L. Has a quick cycle (only 28 minutes) reliably clean and sparkly, therefore much more convenient, only difference is it doesn't waste time and energy fully drying the load. AAA rated.
