Advantages: Fairly cheap for an integrated model, well organised rackspace

Disadvantages: Tends not to clean fully, and also leaves cutlery marked

This dishwasher model was already installed when we moved into our house. I have to be honest, and say that we were never happy with the results of cleaning, and that over time it only got slowly worse and worse.

We would often have bits of food left on plates and cutlery, and we quickly got marks on our cutlery. This was despite using high quality dishwasher tablets etc. We now have a totally different model and have no such issues.

It is an easy to use model. The controls are simple and not over-complicated - you can also choose an economy cycle if needed.

Internally I guess it is similar to most dishwashers - room on the top rack for smaller plates, bowls, and short glasses and mugs. The bottom rack takes much larger plates, taller glasses, and all your cutlery. There are 2 cutlery racks, and due to the design these can be moved around the bottom rack to a place that is convenient for you, they are not set in a specific place.

Noise wise, it is not too bad. You can hear it whirring away but I certainly wouldn't say it was excessive and never caused a problem for us.

Summary: If you want something cheap, not a bad option. Otherwise consider something with more cleaning power
