Good points:: Love this new dishwasher - so quiet - except right at start when it takes on water and at the end when it beeps in the middle of the night to say its finished !! Don't worry you can turn that off ! I like the fact that you can have a delayed start too so can have it on overnight when it is cheaper to run. Great clean quality and it tells you when you need to top up salt and rinse aid.
Bad points:: Nothing to say here - haven't found any bad points!

Good points:: The machine is incredibly quiet.
Bad points:: I frequently have a "bad" wash. Sometimes one or two things are not clean; occasionally a whole load - which I can only put down to some error of my own, although it never happened with my previous machine.
It is hopeless at getting really dirty things clean. I believe that the modern machine uses little water at a fairly low temperature and the results speak for themselves.

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: cleans well, plenty of wash programmes to choose from, quiet, cutlery try great but took a bit of getting used to.
Bad points:: cutlery tray makes it difficult to wash tall glasses, the glass tray can be adjusted up or down quite easily, but then limits what can go in the bottom tray e.g. bigger pots and pans. Quick wash cycle v quick 29 mins but tablets do not have time to dissolve so for this program loose wash powder would be better.

Dishwasher Buyers Guide

Manufacturer's Description

Logixx ActiveWater Dishwasher.

New IntensiveZone – this useful option transforms the lower basket into a power cleaning zone with increased spray pressure and higher cleaning temperature – great for cleaning heavily soiled pots and pans. The top basket is not affected so your glasses and dishes are rinsed gently and protectively.

New Hygiene Exxtra – for a hotter final rinse – perfect for cooking utensils, glass jars, plastic chopping boards and baby bottles.

Half load – if you don’t have a full load and cannot wait, press the half load button. The programme time is reduced and 30% less water is used.

HydroSensor III – checks the degree of soiling in the pre-rinse water and decides whether it is clean enough to be used for the main wash cycle.

Large item spray head – a unique alternative spray head gives you the freedom to wash tall items such as oven furniture or baking trays. Simply remove the upper basket, attach the spray head and select the required programme.

New Extremely quiet operation 40dB (re 1 pW) – for example a baby crying registers at around 110 decibels, a doorbell 80 decibels and normal conversation 60 decibels.
