does the job but flimsy
3/5
Bought this one to replace a 12 year old Beko with a failed pump - not worth fixing as also rusty. This one does the job, usually on the 'quick and clean' programme, as the small extra energy use is worth it not to have to wait 3 hours. Dishes are coming out clean and dry.
doesn't have fold down 'racks' on the bottom tray but I knew that. As usual, there's a design silly with the cutlery basket - pull out the flaps on top and chuck them to avoid playing cutlery ker-plunk.
The display is a design disaster (a dim red LED panel with blurry symbols rather than indicator lights, hard to see) and the control knob feels flimsy. Instructions are obscure, but I did work out the incantation to change the water hardness setting.
it's a bit noisy, probably due to the insulation coming out on one side when you open the door, and the door itself is wobbly - the unit is clearly much flimsier than the old one! Let's see what the technician says tomorrow, as have only had it 3 weeks have placed a call out in case this is going to get worse.
hopefully can be fixed/replaced - but don't think we'll get 12 years out of this one!
