Indesit IDL 40 Reviews: Freestanding, 45cm wide, Multi Dishwasher

+ Compact, quiet and gets everything clean.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ A very neat machine and fitted perfectly into the space I had. Very quite and does a good job.

- I don't really have anything bad to say but have only had it installed for a couple of weeks.

+ Quiet & quick

- Doesn't dry everything all the time, would have been better if bottom basket allowed the plate racks to be laid flat to fit awkward items

+ Being slimline it fits into a small space. Have other indesit products so fits in well with those.

- Can't fit dinner plates on top rack.

+ Does what it says on the tin - washes dishes efficiently. FROM ALL THE DETAILS SUPPLIED ITS AS ECCONOMICAL TO RUN

- lONG CYCLE @ 120MIN

+ Quite, simple programmes, takes large dinner plates

- waste hose not as long as previous model so check it fit in same place before buying

+ My first dishwasher, so nothing to compare it to. But I think it's awesome, it does my washing up for me, what's not to like?

+ slim, very easy to use

- used to a full size so difficult to load and fit all in, noisy, seems to take a while, doesn't dry very well.

+ this small size suits my household and I can put it on every day without feeling that I am wasting water or electicity.

- The cutlery basket is a bit fiddly and it doesn't always clean as well as I expect.

+ Very good spec for the price - reasonable range of programs and easy to set up yourself. Very good wash quality though, and providing rinse aid settings right, good drying capability

- Cup / glass rack and cutlery box a little disappointing when compared with the Beko model for a similar price

+ quiet,simple to use,takes a lot of dishes although small

- find difficult to fit in roasting dishes/trays could be lack of experience never had a dishwasher before

+ Very quiet for such a low budget dishwasher. The eco cycle is short and cleans exceptionally well. One good bit of advice for reducing the eco cycle time even further is to open the door of the machine once the rinse cycle has finished and allow the dishes to air dry - cutting another twenty minutes off the cycle time. I've found this works very well as long as I use a high quality dishwashing tablet as they help eliminate spots.

- The cable was too short so they couldn't install the dishwasher on the day.

+ Good clean dishes. Very quiet in operation.

- Difficult to load, door keeps closing when loading. Difficult to fit in place settings for even 5 places.

+ this dishwasher is ideal for my husband and i because it it neat and compact just big enough for the two of us good perfomance throughout the wash cycles no complaints what so ever

- none

+ Easy to use and good cleaner

- Slight problem sliding top tray for loading

+ ITS BASIC AND SIMPLISTIC IN THE WAY IT WORKS...AN UN TRAINED CHIMP COULD WORK THE MACHINE
ITS SIMPLICITY IS ALSO ITS BEST FACTER

- AS OF THIS MOMENT,I HAVE FOUND NO BAD POINTS

+ Just the right size for our small kitchen

- Space between spikes on trays isn't the best. It can be a struggle to get crockery in there.

+ Fits under units so easily, really amazing what you can get in it for the size, would recommend you buy the easy dry products that go in the rinse aid bit, this solved any slightly annoying wet on certain things, now perfect, a fantastic buy good value, why pay for the name! does exactly the same and made in the same factory!

- None

- Its noiesy, doesnt clean very well, draws are diffcult to slide in and out, it does not dry anything - if i had a choice i would change or get my money back, we dont use the dishwasher as it is easier to hand wash dishes

+ I can bearly hear it when it's in use

- it can be very tight fitting tall glasses in teh top rack if you have plates on teh bottom rack.

+ Compact, does the job well enough and the price was right. I especially like the 'soak' programme as I only run the machine every couple of days. It means that I can soak stuff as I put it in so it doesn't start to smell, and then give everything a good wash when it's full.
I knew the machine wasn't the quietest on the market when I bought it, but it's really not as bad as I expected it to be. Good Value!

- Doesn't dry as well as it might but it's easy to wipe things off before I put them away. A bit more drying power would be nice though.

+ Has nice appearence, nice features, quiet

- Sometimes doesnt dry the contents as well as my other dishwasher which is a bit annoying sometimes

+ very quiet

- the reset button could be a bit bigger and deeper , at first I did'nt know this was the button to start the machine

+ ease of loading versatile loading, compact- its my 2nd Indesit slim line!!

- Dont find the start up cycle as easy switching to selected programme then start/reset button a bit of a faff

+ always owned indesit dishwashers because i have found them best for performance and easiest to load.

- none really

+ Cleans really well

- Noisy

+ Very compact

- Cutlery comes out with rust marks. I have never had this happen before.

+ slim

- does not clean everything; difficult to stack bowls

+ it is the correct size for my kitchen. For the price it is good value. It looks smart

- The instructions were not easy to follow, I feel it was easy to install but how to use it was not clear.

+ slimline and cheap

- none so far

+ Fits into the space available
Simple and efficient
lots of capacity for it's size

- rather expensive

+ Easy to use and washes well.

- Eco wash takes a huge amount of time and, as there are only 4 wash options, it limits what can be done. My previous slimline was a Hotpoint and, although more expensive, had a lot more variety in terms of choice of wash.

+ quiet with quick 40mins cycle

- longest cycle over 2hrs

+ Nicely Styled
Basic and well functioned

- Can be noisy during operation
Economically Friendly programme takes extra hour to complete over the "Normal" cycle.

+ Quiet when running

- Some difficulty in fitting pots and pans into the washer, needs a bigger area for this as far as possible.

+ Very Compact, perfect for fitting in a spare cupboard, but you need to take the door off as comes out millimetres to far for the door to shut in a standard cupboard.
Simple and straight forward to use/load etc.
There is a handy 12 minute cycle to simply rinse contents, if dish washer isn't full and doesn't need to be started until the following night.
It also has a slightly longer Energy Saving Setting, which cleans just as well as the hotter, quicker setting.
Definitely a good Buy.

- It doesn't always clean away all the baked on food on pans, casserole dishes etc. Advisable to either soak these first or buy the more expensive dish washer tablets to tackle the problem.

+ Value for money

- Noisy washing cycle, my dog will start barking when the machine moves from each stage of the wash. Cannot put the machine on overnight, as our dog barks.

+ Cleans well. Size is fantastic and holds more than you think a slimline dishwasher will. A rated for energy efficiency

- The economy cycle does take a long time - but the environmental benefits are worth it!

+ Excelent cleaning
Quite quiet
Very easy to use
Energy efficient

- Not so easy to load
Start button difficult to press

+ By far the best washer we have had

- None apparent

+ Good sound product.

- Nothing

+ easy to use

- drying could be better

- Not found any yet!

+ Good little dishwasher for a tight space. Others have complained of the noise, but for the price you cannot complain - easy solution is to put it on when you are not in the kitchen!!

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Really easy to use. Quick wash is great & we use this all the time.

- Plate slots a little close together reducing the number that can be put in at any one time. However because of the quick wash it quickly does the job.

- Shelf positions are not ideal

- Not bad as such just could be better-
Top tray a little stiff to pull out
Cycle explanations a little confusion

- Easy stacking is difficult; particularly of wine glasses. It does not drain/dry very well.

+ It's a rated. It's very quiet compared to our old one.

- None that we've seen.

+ easy to use with no wasted frills

- still looking

+ Although this is a slim line dishwasher it fits everything in easily, also the simple things like an handle on the pullout trays that makes it easy for me with being disabled.

- Non so far.

Excellent fast cycle.
Excellent price.

- Quite loud.
Inability to change the position of the cutlery holder.

+ Slimline,

- A little loud

+ Cost, quick and efficient programs

- Upper basket is not securing my small and medium size round dishes. They can be kept in an unusual position (not straight).

+ Ideal slimline size for very small teapoint in a work environment.
Eco programmme very good as most washing up is coffee cups, small sideplates etc.
Final washing result is of high qualiy, especially glasses.

- Top rack is still somewhat awkward for mugs and cups and glasses. They keep falling oer unless the whole rack is filled to its limit - but thi is NOT a major problem.

+ it's quiet and I like the eco setting

- raising/lowering the upper tray so glass can be washed is an absolute pain and in consequence glasses get washed in the kitchen sink.

+ it works

- it is below the expected Indesit standard

+ Reviewer left no comment

- The cutlery container moves about. The plate rack is made so that the plates touch each other and dont clean properly. It doesnt always start up and I have to fiddle to get it going. Im quick disappointed with this - this is my third dishwasher, and the worst.

+ Very good value for the price good value for price

- door tends to close while trying to load

+ Cleaning performance. ease of load, and wash cycles. been slime, it can fit easily in small spaces

- It is niosy but we knew before buying it does not affect us

+ cleans well

- difficult to load anything other than plates

+ slimline and practical - does the job

- a little noisy

+ Slimline model ideal for small kitchens.

- None to speak of,i am pleased with this machine.

+ simple to use

- dial a bit clunky

+ a great dishwasher, after reading many reviews there were issues about large plates on the top layer, but easily solved, put your big plates at the bottom, and then load accordingly, plenty of room for a slimline you may have to load twice a day if you have a family of 6 like me, good length programmes, really quite, looks good cosmetically, dont think. just buy!!

- no bad points, a superb dishwasher

+ stylish. easy to operate,

- ive only had it three weeks so i cant comment.

+ For the money this is an ok appliance - "does what it says on the tin" - Good Value.

- Not the most robust of appliances compaired with other more expensive bands - but if you just want a cheap functional dish washer then this is an ok appliance.

+ Excellent value for money.

- Quite noisey.

+ Compact ideal for the smaller kitchen.

- Choice of wash cycles is limited - shortest eco wash is 45 minutes!

+ over all look and performance very good

- none

+ First dishwasher so nothing to compare with but does the job.

- NON

+ Great size as it only takes up a small amount of space in the kitchen and has a reasonable capacity if you load it right - there are 2 of us in the house and we often only need to run it every other day. Cleans really well on setting 1 and the quick wash is fine so long as the dishes haven't been left to sit overnight.

- Can be tricky to load plates, but you get used to that quickly and it's a small price to pay with the nature of it being a compact machine.

+ quiet and easy to use

- long cycle

+ excellent value for money and does what it says

- none

+ good choice of programmes for such a compact machine. stylish and excellent value for money

- a little awkward to load. top basket sticks on door when opening. restriction to size of dishes, chopping boards that you can wash.

+ Best value for money

- Noisy and longer wash cycle
