Good points:: It has a really quick eco wash which I use all the time.
Bad points:: It took me a long time to fit it in and I had to employ someone to help me and even the professional struggled for a few hours - the instructions were extremely poor. The first few washes were terrible and I was beginning to get very disheartened, but after about 3-4 washes, the dishes started to look much better.

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: We have found the Appliance very easy to use and on a standard setting takes about 30 mins to complete the cycle and so far with excellent results.
Bad points:: None to report so far and I believe with the German build quality this will undoubtedly continue.
