+ A nice looking machine and is quiet in comparison to others.

- The pull out bottom tray needs to have stronger wheels as it feels quite flimsy when you have a full load to push in. It doesn't glide as well as my last dishwasher.

Score 9.0/10

+ very good for the money, very efficient. The forks on the lower rack can be laid flat to allow for pans, etc to be loaded easier.

- Maybe not as striaghtforward to load as other dishwashers I have had, but once you get used to what goes where it's no problem.

Score 3.0/10

+ quiet and easy to operate

- couldnt fit some plates into the machine, cups have came out wet, some items havent washed at all, had problem installing machine, instructions wasnt very clear and had to get an engineer out. not very impressed at all, if i could change the machine for another one i definately would, i'd much prefer my old zanussi which i had for 10 years and had no problems with.

simon, stroud , “Busy mum or dad”

Score 5.0/10

+ the only good point is knowing that i never have to deal with the misery of buying from curry's again

- the after care service recieved by curry's can only be described as sub-standand , with poorly trained and unhelpful staff and an operating system that beggars believe and leaves helpless customers feeling unvalued and frustrated. its obvious that no-one ever reads these reports, so am i being stupid in believing that someone will realise there has been a breakdown in customer care or will this just be ignored and left as the last survey was? it would be a shock if i heard back from anyone!

+ Delay timer means I can run the machine at night during my off peak rate.

- There is not sufficient space to stand dinner plates in the lower tray without them stopping the arm from turning. I still have to wash dinner plates by hand.

- I never actually used this machine as when it was delivered it had obviously been dropped in its packaging and the housing was severly dented and the feet of the model were broken.
There were no others available to replace it and so I ended up having to pay more money for an equivalent model.

Score 6.0/10

+ Price. Solid build. Cycle speeds are fast. Does clean well.

- Noisy. The filter you must use sticks out about 30cm at the back of the unit. I am unable to push the unit all the way under the kitchen top so it sticks out somewhat. Bad design.
