Very good machine. Why pay more?
5/5
Our 10 year old Bosch dishwasher was getting temperamental so, having been very pleased with a Beko fridge/ freezer (now also 10 years old), we opted for this model. Inside it is very similar to the Bosch with the usual arrangement for locating plates, bowls and dishes and comes with the same slimline dishwasher sized cutlery basket. Inside the baskets seem to be well made. The handle on the front feels a bit flimsy but it does the job. The knob selector is simple to operate and it has the same range of programmes that we are used to with the Bosch.
It cleans the dishes well and even removed some marks that the aging Bosch had put on our Denby dishes (rust marks from the plate guides). We live in a hard water area so originally set the salt to the maximum setting. During one cycle it managed to use nearly a whole salt fill and leave it all over the dishes! Not sure why it threw a wobbly (dishwasher elves can be mischievous) but it has been fine since. We have adjusted the salt to medium and everything is fine.
In summary a good value for money machine at a fraction of the cost of some of the 'premium' brands and does the job perfectly. Why pay more.
