Good points:: Gets everything clean on the normal cycle - haven't even had to try the super cycle. Dries everything except plastic on the normal wash. Basic and functional.
Bad points:: Long wash cycle on normal. The quick and eco washes don't dry so well.

Good points:: It looks good in the kitchen, very attractive design. Cleans well, very reasonable price for trusted brand. All in all good value for money.
Bad points:: Not keen on the loading - catches the top of the dinner plates so have to be careful how we load it, can't put them in the middle. Bit frustrating that there is no screen, so hard to know what it is beeping at sometimes!

Good points:: Looks really good, you can get a lot in it and its really good value.
Bad points:: You cant get anything too tall in it (even my standard size plates catch a bit on the spinner but they can still go in and may just catch at times.

Bad points:: THE FRONT POWDER BOX DID GET WATER IN IT DURING A CYCLE SO WHEN IT FLIPPED OPEN FOR THE CLEANING PROCESS IT HAD STUCK IN THE BOX AND WOULD NOT FALL OUT. MY HUSBAND HAD TO SQUEEZE THE PLASTIC TO CLOSE THE BOX TIGHTER. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT AROSE AGAIN.
