Excellent value dishwashe
I was a bit apprehensive based on some reviews, but I needn’t have worried – this is a great freestanding dishwasher. It was easy to install as it replaced an old machine, and all the plumbing worked fine. Once installed, I scanned the QR code to install the app (both IOS and Android available), and scanned the serial number on the side of the door to register the product. I used the app once to run a pre wash after installation, but haven’t bothered with it since.
Some people seemed to have problems with the buttons but mine are absolutely fine. To switch on the machine, you press the on/off button for a couple seconds and you then hear ascending tones to confirm it is switched on. You press the programme selection button to select the program (it remembers the previous program you selected so if you are a creature of habit like me, this step becomes unnecessary), then press the ‘play’ button to start the program. To start with I found some of the indicator lights confusing, but have now worked them out.
The first light on the left with a little dish icon, means you can safely add dishes during the program running. The p3/p4 solid lights means that remote control is available via the app. During the program, indicator lights indicate the stage in progress – wash, rinse, dry.
I have used Fairy original which include salt and rinse aid – thus means you don’t need to add salt or rinse aid to the machine and you can use the settings to disable the ’empty’ alarms for these items. I use the dishwasher once a day with a full load and the items come out sparkling clean and dry.
It’s an easy machine to install and use and I have no hesitation in recommending it.
On a side note – I paid 4 for the delivery to room and unpack, which worked brilliantly and the delivery guys were very efficient and helpful.
