Flexible and Intuitive Design

The VarioFlex basket makes loading and unloading larger pots and pans easy so nothing gets left out for the next cycle.

An LED light projects the remaining cycle onto the floor while a child lock prevents little ones from opening too soon, but be cautious of the automatic opener when the cycle has finished as some report hot air being expelled into the kitchen.

This model is super-efficient and bursting with all sorts of different settings for anything a busy lifestyle throws at it while still remaining easy to use. 

Full of Features

Including an AquaSensor which automatically assesses the amount of water required, a time remaining indicator, quick wash setting and a detergent awareness ability, every feature of this dishwasher is designed to make life as easy as possible for a large family without wasting unnecessarily. 

How to Choose the Best Dishwasher

There are several things to consider before purchasing your integrated dishwasher. 

Budget is an obvious factor, and the next consideration is do you want it to be freestanding or integrated? Freestanding units are generally no wider than 60cm and are positioned just below your kitchen worktop. Integrated models tend to sit behind a façade that matches your kitchen cupboards. Slimline models are available too for smaller kitchens. 

Speed is important too. For families, knowing how quickly a wash will take can be invaluable on school nights, but it can also be useful to ensure you are economical with your washes. 

Ensure you look at a dishwasher's noise too. Louder models may wake up younger children. And look at capacity so you know you'll have enough space before you buy.
