Baumatic BDW15

+ Simple to use and install

- Putting on the door furniture is a pain to line up the top and bottom brackets

+ This is a good dishwasher with a good set of features including overflow protection, which you don't get on most of the Bosch models. It has a seven minute rinse cycle that is great for cleaning off the sauce so it doesn't dry on when you don't have enough for a full load. There is no need to remove the front cover to fit the door furniture - the previous review that states this is necessary is wrong. There are two securing screw holes with small round covers on each side, the rest of the process is fitting brackets to the door furniture itself. The drain filter is made from stainless steel, rather than nylon gauze that you get on some models so is much easier to clean. There are lots of compartments in the cutlery basket and you can remove the spacer lids if the holes are too small to fit the handles in. Another nice touch is the inclusion of slide rails and an adhesive plastic condensation protecter that you stick on the underside of your worktop to prevent the moisture ruining the chipboard/wood/whatever. There also seems to be a magnetic filter of some sort on the water inlet pipe - another nice touch. I had no problems installing however an important tip - The rear feet are adjusted by screws on the front, near the front feet, so you don't need to put it in, then pull it out to adjust them

- The adjustable top rack is great, and easy to move by simply moving two handles on either side but you can only fit tall glasses along the edges of the top rack when it is in the low position unless you remove the flappy top racks. Our biggest plates only fit in when the top rack is in the high position, so sometimes it can be a bit of a catch-22 to get everything in. Some dishwasher tablets might be a squeeze in the soap container, but a finish quantum powerball tab fits in (just). The square fairy ones might be a problem. Some of the prongs on the racks seem to be a bit bendy - I hope they won't eventually break off, this has not happened yet.

+ It does just what its suppose to do,very easy to connect and to work

- Bad points,thats a hard one. No bad points

+ Very easy to understand procedure to fit the door. The wash cycle is very good with a handy delay timer to take advantage of cheap rate at night.

- The method of adjusting the feet at the front could be improved. A customer should not have to remove the inner door cover to fit the screws for securing the door.

+ The is a triple AAA rated machine Making it more enviromently friendly |it uses only 16ltrs of water less then most use washing up in sink has a water hardness mesure for your rince aid so that you only use as much as is needed

+ 24 hour delay timer - excellent feature. Half load feature is also of benefit and the loading options are excellent with the hight adjustable upper deck and folding down upper and lower restraints.

- External filter made connection into incoming water tight as previous fitting was flexible. The dishwasher JUST fitted in the opening - the opening is 600mm deep and only just fits flush.

+ ultra quick rapid wash

- securing front facia door to machine

- The trays and cutlery rack are poorly designed and made of poor quality plastic. So the bit that needs human intervention - loading the machine and unloading it, is more painful because of these flaws. Dishwasher tablets do not fit into their compartment properly. Schoolboy error baumatic.

+ Easy to fit with front mounted adjusters for rear legs and very simple template for drilling on holes in dummy door.

- Remember to put clear film under worktop before putting the unit in place. The instructions didn't refer to this steam gaurd and I spotted it too late!

+ Adjustable top shelf (Raise & Lower) Lots of room inside Simple to use Excellent value

- None

+ Covered heating element. Easy access to controls. Delay timer for off peak use.

- Shallow tablet holder will not take a readily available larger dishwasher tablets. A seperate top roll out cutlery tray would release space on the bottom tray

+ eXTREMELY GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY, AS GOOD AS THE ARISTON IT REPLACED. tHE ADJUSTABLE TOP BASKET IS VERY USEFUL.

- NONE

+ To get a AAA dishwasher for that price you've got to be onto a winner.

- Ability to adjust the door once it is attached is difficult as you have to commit to the final position early on. The fill pipe only allows use of cold water AND since the fill pipe is fitted with something called an "aqua stop" the instructions say the pipe must be mounted pointing vertically up thus requiring a tap pointing vertically down. I suspect many people will require a little bit of extra plumbing to allow for this mounting.

+ Adjustable top basket allows insertion of full-size dinner plates

+ very quiet. plenty of room and easy to use.

- none

+ good range of cycles and cleans well

- fitting it was a bloody nightmare. not the dishwasher iteself, but the door furniture to the dishwasher. You have to take the front of the dishwasher off to do it. not a 1 man job or you'll make a mess of it like me!

+ Excellent cleaning performance

- Noisy during the drain cycle

+ Looks good and works good.

- Quite difficult to fit and difficult to put the door on. Instructions are really rubbish as well.

+ Lots of cleaning options, very good value for money, easy to use

- Attaching the integrated kitchen door is awkward. The water feed pipe has an 'auto stop' fitting on the end which can only be be fiited to the mains supply a certain way - some plumbing skills will be handy, particularly if you have copper piping

+ It's quiet and easy to setup. The timer is a real bonus.

- None

+ price and triple a rating
