Quieter than expected
4/5
This Beko dishwasher is a good, solid machine. One of its good points is the neat way all its controls are hidden on the upper edge of the door, with one big and clear digital readout slap bang in the middle of the door's front. I particularly like the cutlery tray, which is a separate tray above the two main drawers. I like it so much that I have removed the standard cutlery holder. Another good point is how quiet it is. That was a bit of a surprise because I think Which? said it was noisy. There are only two things that disappoint me about this dishwasher. One is the manual: it lists a great many different special "Auxiliary functions" but the explanations for a lot of these functions have the caveat "depends on the model" yet it doesn't explain if this particular model has these functions – the model whose name is printed on the front of the manual. The other disappointment is that on of those special functions is indeed missing from this model, and it would have been very useful: "SelfDry" – which is a special function that opens the door automatically after a wash, enabling all the crockery to dry more efficiently. So, as this model doesn't have this feature, I tend to have to dry all the crockery by hand. Other than that, though, it's a lovely machine and I would happily recommend it to anyone.
