I’ve owned this dishwasher for a few weeks now, and have been thoroughly impressed by its performance. I find the “Quick & Shine” program which only takes an hour is the best for doing a quick cycle and getting consistently good results. It’s quiet in operation. The top drawer is height adjustable, which is good as on the default lowest setting the spray arm was catching and getting stuck on the top of the dinner plates. The top drawer is versatile in that it has a number of options for putting bowls on it. The user guide has useful pictures giving guidance on loading it.
There are some negatives however, which are soon forgotten. The installation instructions are woeful. When you unpack the machine you’ll find a booklet of installation instructions. However, there are 2 more books that you will find, and none of the books reference each other at any point. I’d recommend you look at YouTube and search for “Beko integrated dishwasher install”. The video is for a full size dishwasher. However, apart from the door fitting, the installation is the same. Look at the video a few times, find all the installation books, read them a few times, and take your time. The door fitting on this model is fairly straightforward and a template is provided.
The other issue I had was entering the setup procedure for setting water hardness and the volume loudness. The user guide mentions pressing Start/Stop & “Time Delay” buttons together to enter the setup procedure. However it doesn’t tell you which buttons are used for modifying those settings! The answer is that you use the “Extra Drying” button to increase a setting, and “Fast+” to decrease. For example to set the water hardness to level 3, get to the relevant setting, then press the “Extra Drying” button twice. The wash programme LEDs will change to show the setting made. Overall a really great machine, and well deserving of its “Which” Best Buy award.
