Most helpful reviewsNorman, Camberley Retired
- Good points:
-
Plastic skids under feet make it easy to slide in and out under worktop.
Extremely quiet in operation. - Bad points:
-
Poor installation instructions - pictorial only with no text.
Screws for mounting fascia panel were too long and protruded through the fascia.
Virtually no clearance behind machine. Mains socket behind machine had to be re-located to enable machine to go fully back under worktop flush with otherbase unit cupboards.

- Good points:
- The price, the name.
- Bad points:
- It doesn't fully dry the contents. But spose if it saves energy that's not a bad thing. Just put away holding a dish cloth to dry.

- Good points:
-
Cheap. Easy to pumb in. Easy to use.
- Bad points:
- It replaced an older version of the same machine but although it is advertised as 'fully-integrated' and fits width-wise it is longer so now the fitted door juts out from the other units in the kitchen. Don't assume that just because it is the right width that it will be the right length. Lesson learnt!

Andy, Cheltenham Busy mum or dad
- Good points:
- Great 60* cleaning cycle, easy to use, top drawer has lots of space which is really useful for kids cups and bowls
- Bad points:
- No major bad points, occasionally food gets trapped in the bottom hinge, but just needs cleaning with a cloth.

Big glasses don't always load well on the top shelf
They wobble over. Also some dishwasher tablets
Seem to wide for the dispenser.
