Good points:: Cycle times appear to be in line with most other washing machines but i still find them interminably long! As a result i only use the Eco setting as this is 1hr 40 and aside from a 35min Rinse is the shortest. This also reduces water (and electricity) usage. It's vital therefore that Eco wash is effecitve and thankfully it is. Happy to use this setting, reduce consumption and get a good clean.
This one also met our size requirements in not being as deep as the standard 60cm as this size would have bowed out from our units. Think it's 58 which is just right. Overall, very pleased.
Bad points:: Reviewer left no comment

Good points:: Compared to the dishwasher it replaced (v expensive Smeg) it has great cleaning performance cleaning everything bar well cooked on egg but haven't found dishwasher that can do that yet. Drying performance is also far superior despite being apparently passive whereas old dishwasher had a fan that ran for 20 mins and still everything was still wet. Also very quiet operation. Great price and amazing 5 year warranty gives peace of mind.
Bad points:: Wash cycles are considerably longer than old machine which may explain superior results, this may bother some people though. No rinse and hold wash which means can get a bit whiffy. Top drawer doesn't quite come out far enough for easy filling when on high setting. For drying to work at optimum door should be opened 15 mins post wash or condensation can form.
