- Good points:
- This dishwasher is probably the quietest one I have ever encountered. -Except for the rather noisy 'Clunk! when the soap dispenser opens, and the beeps at the end of the cycle. 'The controls are simple and easy to understand and use, although I have not really tried all programs and the timed delay yet. No need really. I find that the first program works just perfectly.
- Bad points:
-
The drawers are perhaps not the smoothest I have seen or used, and one has to pull and push them carefully to avoid all the glasses bumping against each other. -No breakages yet, though!

- Good points:
- It washes well.
- Bad points:
-
I hate the loud beebs it makes when it finishes the wash cycle. Prevents me from using it late at night. The beebs are loud enough to wake the children up.
A bit louder washing than my prevoius machine.
The top tray is used for glasses & mugs etc that holds water on the top because the tray is not tilted but flat. So I end up drying most items in the top tray.

- Bad points:
- Can not fit our dinner plates in the dishwasher as the top tray is not high enough.Thought that maybe our plates were to large but have since spoken to two other people with exactly the same model and they have the same problem.Its a nightmare having a nice dishwasher but having to still wash up at every meal!!
