Solid performance with some initial annoyances
4/5
Early days but it seems to wash well and we don't find it noisy (nothing that disturbs conversation, quiet radio listening or bothers me when reading). The Which? team must have VERY sensitive hearing! Feels smaller than our last slot in model - you'll only get 15 place setting in if you use very small crockery. The cup ledges in the top basket are particularly narrow, so getting chunky mugs in isn't so easy.
Installation instructions are a bit rubbish - you have to read and compare across three booklets/sheets. Watch the vid online and Google the rubber sheet! Operation instructions miss some key steps. But with patience it can all be figured. We're not the best at DIY but we managed to do it all, and fit the door front, with complete success.
A few things that weren't super clear from the description:
- Racks do fold down in part of the bottom and top baskets, so there's some flexibility - although more fixed prongs than my last Beko, limiting and annoying but workable.
- The grid over top of the loose cutlery basket does fold back (which is good cos I cannot imagine most cutlery handles would fit through it)
- No, it doesn't beep incessantly when the cycle ends. Phew! Why would anyone want that???
- The delay timer works in 30min intervals.
