- Good points:
- Easy to fit, easy to operate. Cleans crockery and glass very well.
- Bad points:
- Only one minor point is that the lower basket plate supports do not fold down to provide a flat space for larger items e.g. pans, if required.

- Good points:
- Does what it says on the tin! Pretty quite and plenty space for 16'' dinner plates.
- Bad points:
- Difficult to install. Drilling is a bit of guess work.

- Good points:
-
Good price
Seems to be a fairly quick cycle time
So far everything has come out clean! - Bad points:
-
Cutlery racks don't seem to fit in position very securely
Limited number of wash cycles - but I only ever use 1 anyway!
Biggest annoyance was that the door doesn't open properly if you have kickboards - you need to cut off about 10mm off the top of the board for the door to open and close!

- Good points:
- Seems great so far - no problems as yet. Great value quality dishwasher.
- Bad points:
- It is fairly basic, and has no extras like a rinse aid or salt indicator light to tell you when to refill. But it is smeg's basic model so we expected this really and we can live without those things as long as it cleans well!

Here’s a list of the questions other shoppers have asked owners of the Smeg Cucina DI612CA9
-
DOES THIS DISHWASHER ALLOW YOU TO GET FULL SIZE DINNER PLATES IN AND CAN YOU PUT STEMMED WINE GLASSES IN THE TOP SHELF
-
Yes you can get stemmed wine glasses in and yes it takes full size dinner plates. However, we have very large square plates which we sometime use and they get obstructed by the top basket height adjuster system if placed near the edges
