Kenwood KDW12ST3A Reviews: Freestanding, 60cm wide, Silver Dishwasher

+ Trying very hard to think of any........no, I can't

- All bad, difficult to load, doesn't seem to be a right place for anything, cleans badly and the programmes go on for ever. Wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

- not too good at the cleaning side..has to go on a heavy wash really

+ Looks good, easy to use

- Reviewer left no comment

+ very large capacity, very easy to program, good delay feature

- The handle to open the dishwasher is single layer plastic, out of line with the build quality of the rest of the appliance and seemingly likely to crack and break off at some time in the future. Also noisier than our last one (a bosch mini), but in a different place and larger. We got used to the noise fairly quickly and it seems normal now.

+ Price and appearance

- Doesnt clean that well. Has a small capacity and poor layout. Doesnt dry that well either.

- The rota arm at the bottom appears to be a bit low compared to previous dish washer
The top tray is very hard to pull out

+ EASY TO USE, QUIET, DRY'S VERY WELL

- TOP TRAY IS STIFF, YOU HAVE TO FORCE IT IN

+ Easy to use, fairly quiet and cleans most things really well. Easy to stack so can get a lot in it.

- None that i've discovered yet!

+ looks nice

- doesnt wash dishes properly leaves grit all over the glasses

+ Design, overall look and cleaning ability, good indicators to let you know when to put salt and rinse aid in.

- Still a bit noisy, takes too long to wash dishes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+ Good value for money and really easy to use, the control panel is really easy and does a really good job cleaning.

- The top spinner sometimes catches plates on the bottom level which does annoy as you have to rearrang the dishes.

+ The delay timer is very handy.

- Some residue is being left on cups.

+ good all round machine, delay feature great due to the ever increasing electric prices ( put on at night ).cleans really well.

- quick wash not that quick , still takes 1hour 20 mins.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- no half loading shortest time for wash is 1h 30min

+ Digital display that counts down the wash time.
Looks good.
Good choice of programs.
Easy to clean filter.
Has warning lights to let you know when salt & rinse aid levels are low.
Adjustable height top rack.
Good Value for money.

- Quite noisy (although I don't have a door between kitchen & lounge so that's probably why!).
The plastic cutlery holder now has a couple of holes where I dropped my knifes in (handle first) & they broke through it!

+ Amount of space inside, ease of use, great design and nice looking appliance.

- The wash cycle takes ages, even on the basic washes (my previous dishwasher took half the time) however the energy rating is better on this one...?

+ it is a dish washer so saves me washing

- takes ages does not always clean to good standard and is noisey

+ Full of features and excellent performance

- Although body is same size as others, the interior seems smaller.

+ Does the job

- Bit complicated to operate

+ Delay timer so it can be set to wash during the night. Very easy instructions to adjust salt level/aid rinser etc to get the perfect wash/dry.

- None as yet!

+ Very basic and easy to use. Dishes clean.

- Programmes are too long. Doesnt dry very well. not very big inside.

+ Fab product

- Nothing bad to say

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Can't do quickk wash or half load but we did know that when we bought it.

+ Very quite, has good wash cycles, cleans well and looks good. Has loads of space

- The bottom tray catches when you slide it back in,small issue but manageable. Wash cycles are quite long.

+ range of features, easy to follow instructions & buttons, adaptable for different load sizes, optional spacer top for cuttlery.

- rough under the handle to open the door, not very high to put large dinner plates in bottom tray

+ simple to use

- no fast wash - shortest normal wash cycles in over 2.5 hours

+ lovely machine makes life just alittle easier

- Reviewer left no comment

+ looks plain and simple - not fussy design. easy to use.

- handle seems to have a serated edge on it so hurts your hand as you open the door. the Econ cycle lasts for 137 mins so its pretty long !

+ generally an all round good machine

- the door exterior seems a little flimsy at the base and could very easily be damaged

+ Looks good from a distance, timer delay function great and countdown timer is useful

- poorly made, feels cheap and isn't well designed inside to maximise the number of dishes that can fit in there. A cheap dishwasher that feels cheap.

+ ease of use/looks good/ not too noisy

- long wash times

+ it came on time

- It flooded my utility room the totally locked up and would not empty

+ IM VERY HAPPY WITH THE LOOK AND PERFORMANCE

- Reviewer left no comment

+ reasonably priced and does the job its supposed to do well

- Couldnt fit some of my plates in the bottom shelf so put the top shelf up and cannot now put tall glasses in the top shelf as not enough room.

+ Ease of use

- sticking top tray

+ nice looking, easy to understand,lots of loading room.

- sharp handle on door.

+ Appearance good. Turn on delay system very useful so that cheap rate electricity can be used. Adequate washing programmes and nice clean finish. Noise level good. No problems so far even though the water cannot be turned off daily when the machine is not in use ( this is what the instructions suggest ).

- I do not quite understand the reason for suggesting the water be turned off but would have thought that in most cases this would be impractical anyway.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- does not have a quick wash

+ Nice looking, cheap.

- Not that much room inside, leaves some items dirty, takes a long time to wash.

+ cheap

- plasticy build quality and doesn't wash very well

+ love the colour and it,s easy to use.

- all programs are far too long and pots don,t always come clean, if i could get my money back i would.

+ good cleaning performance value for money

- a bit tinny

+ Reviewer left no comment

- fiddly, feels cheap, smaller than expected, doesn;t clean dishes well, poorly designed for holding crockery in place.

+ great to clean pots and pans

- no free dishwasher tablets, long cycle if in a rush

+ Price. Size-Fits under work-top perfectly.

- Plastic plate racks are flimsy and do not run easily

+ easy to set programmes easy read front panal with display showing length programme also indicates when salt and rinse aid need refilling.

- bottom draw slides back in making loading hard, top draw difficult to load bowls as only one row of supports

+ Controls are easy to operate and once all adjustments were made to suit very hard water it washes well.

- Although said to be a 12 place dishwasher it does not have as much room as my previous Ariston 12 place Dishwasher and is therefore more difficult to load for optimum use. The cutlery basket is smaller.
However I am now adjusting to the slightly smaller space.

+ easy to use, even husband can operate it.

- not great at getting baking trays and cook ware clean first time, have had to re done some items by hand..

+ Easy to use, large capacity.

- Waste pipe a little short. Cutlery holder not very flexible.

- The delayed start is a bit unnecessary

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Drawers poorly laid out
Bottom drawer slip off the runners constantly

+ Reviewer left no comment

- The bottom tray does not run smoothly and therefore, once it is full of plates etc, it doesn't glide in and out

+ good points is the prewash and delay start

- the top runner is so stiff to pull the draw out, and it keeps disconnecting itself from one of the wheels, the actual arms that hold the draw are so flimsy you could bend them with one hand, also, after 1 month of use each day, i have yet to have a day when i don't have to rewash everything on the top shelf due to grit not being washed away.all in all i would say a very poor quality dishwasher that doesn't perform very well indeed

+ Good Looks and build quality

- Reviewer left no comment

+ easy to use quick and simple

- more prog quick wash

+ style,colour and easy to operate

- Won't load and unload itself.

+ Stylish and sleek

- Dinner plates do not fit

+ It does its job well so far. The internal parts and well made and sturdy. You can move the upper draw up or down to suit. I have noticed in other reviews that people have said that they couldn;t fit certain things in, but I think they didn;t relaise that you can actually adjust the upper drawer. Everything gets clean. what more can you say really !

- None so far

+ glass sparkles best ever.

- none yet
