I wanted to buy a better quality dishwasher than this, but my kitchen has a restricted space for the dishwasher. I bought this one because it's about 10cm shallower than the standard size. It has the basic functions that I wanted: a timer to set it to wash later, and a few programs, but it takes more than 2 hours to do a cycle (the standard cycle is nearly 3 hours) and doesn't get the dishes dry. It also has the annoying cutlery tray in the top rather than a standard cutlery basket, which is the worst idea ever. It is reasonably quiet, but with the cutlery tray in the top it restricts the amount of tall things you can put in the crockery trays: I can't put tall wine glasses and full-size dinner plates into both trays at the same time, and the rotating arm will sometimes noisily hit the plates. Summary: It does the job and fits my space, but is very basic and doesn't dry very well.
