+ This is a high quality machine and is built to last. It has a cutlery tray at the top so you no longer have half washed knives and forks. The dishwasher has a sensor wash and this decides how you dishes are washed and for how long, so don't be surprised if the timer changes mid wash and the wash gets shorter....but do change the sensor wash to the second wash, as the standard wash was disappointing. (The instructions are in the manual, if a little strange)

- None and if you want a dishwasher that won't leak and should last 20 years then it is great value...you do get what you pay for.

Score 10.0/10

+ It is a beautiful machine and does a first class job. it is so quiet and the dishes come out sparkling.I particularly like the cutlery tray at the top of the machine as it gives more room in the main machine and the cutlery is easier to remove.I like the digital display as it is easier to operate than a manual display.I dont know how I managed without it.

- Very few bad points, difficult to put stemmed glasses in the top section but on the whole it is fine.

+ It's quiet.

- It's too complicated. The cutlery tray uses height and doesn't take all the items a basket would take. Most of our wine glasses don't fit. Our Denby plates are too tall and the dishes won't go in any of the slots. Other plates and dishes keep falling over. We spend far too long loading and re-loading it

+ This machine is so quiet I have to put my ear close to check if its on. The baskets are very versatile, you can change the space to suit what you wish to put in. The top cutlery tray is so easy to use, the cutlery comes clean every time and is so easy to put away. This also frees up room in the dishwasher so you can fit loads in. Glasses sparkle, and everything comes out spotless. From now on I would only ever buy a Miele, although I understand they last for years.

- There aren't any.

+ Excellent. The drawer at the top for cutlery frees up more space beneath for larger objects, such as pans. Some of the plate racks fold down, for if you have more pans and less plates. Utensil racks on the sides also fold away to allow more room for bigger items. Loads of settings, nothing comes out dirty-no need to pre rinse. Extremely quiet. Very clear instruction book.

- I haven't found anything bad about it. I'm very pleased.
