Advantages: when it cleans, it works well.

Disadvantages: It doesn't clean often enough, for ever needs maintaining.

We have had this dishwasher for about 2 years and we do use it every day. For the price it is ok, but I Would spend a bit more next time. As a slimline model it was and ideal size for us.
For the first couple of months it worked lovely, and we were very pleased with it. Since then it's performance has deteriated. It really struggles to clean anything in the top tray, with most of the items going back in on a number of occasions. Half of the time tablets will not disolve. So although it is supposed to be energy effecient, for us this is not the case, costing us money in re-usage and tablets.
I am forever taking the dishwasher arms off to unblock them, emptying and cleaning the filter, and putting in dishwasher cleaners. Nothing seems to make this machine work properly.
We had to call an engineer out as it stopped working, this was just after our warranty had ran out (typical). When I moaned about the dishwasher he said the it was usually a very reliable and good machine. So we must have been just unlucky.
As I said we use it everyday, and when it does clean it is great, I just wish that it would work fine everytime.

Summary: Could have been a great little machine, but it's not.
