Kenwood Appliances KS474S Slim Reviews: Freestanding, 45cm wide, Silver Dishwasher

+ Looks good and was value for money

- washing times vary grately from what it says in instruction book

+ great overall machine

- none so far

+ Slim line, economy setting and quick wash

- Reviewer left no comment

+ It is relatively quiet

- Using the Eco wash cycle doesn't always get the stuff clean

+ A good machine for the price. Cleans well. Has a good number of settings and glassware comes out brilliantly

- Can't get more in! That's life with a slimline.

+ looks nice, easy to load and organise things inside but...

- takes hours, not enough space between tray and spinning nosel to fit many plates which means a lot of things don't get clean.

- everything fine apart from the fact that my plates do not fit in the dishwasher. I checked with store as they did not have one in stock (I took my plate with me to make doubly sure) and they said that if the plate fitted in the other slimline options, then it would be fine with this one. The plates do not fit, they are not interested in the dishwasher being returned. It is pretty useless to me if I have to handwash plates. Or I can put in one plate at a time and nothing else in the bottom of the dishwasher. Brilliant - not.

+ choice of cycles, neat and easy to load and quiet

- length of main cycle

+ All programmes we have used so far have worked really well - everything has come out looking really clean.
It is very easy to use, and does not make too much noise. We are largely very pleased with it and it's a lot of help.

- We have struggled to fit some things in the dishwasher (although I have no reason to believe this wouldn't be the same for any other slim line dishwasher)

+ easy to use attractive looking very pleased with this product,

+ It's quiet and has two 'eco' settings - eco and rapid. And it's triple A rated for energy consumption.

- Think the drying part of the cycle could be shorter and if you turn it off whislt still with 10-15 mins to go of the drying cycle it leaves water in the machine. Outside of that I'm very pleased with it

+ Smart looking - reasonable price for silver d/washer. Variety of cycle choices (but note the negative points about the cycle times).

- Cycle times EXTREMELY long - this wasn't commented in any of the reviews I read. It is an 8 place setting but I can't get as much in to this model as I did in my old one (same dimensions) so it is frustrating to load.

+ Quiet and very efficient on the whole - works well on an eco wash.

- Rather flimsy trays which come off runners unless loaded evenly.

+ stylish look. time display.

- smaller inside area than others. the top runner is stiff to pull out. too many programs to pick from.

+ easy to use with good cleaning results

- Could leave stuff drier
